Access Point #: MAFS.3.MD.1.AP.1aArchived Access Point

Solve word problems involving the addition and subtraction of time intervals of whole hours or within an hour (whole hours: 5:00 to 8:00, within hours: 7:15 to 7:45) on a number line.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Count by fives to 60.
  • Demonstrate how an analog clock moves to increase time.
  • Use an analog/digital clock to increase/decrease time intervals of whole hours or within an hour.
  • Match numerical representation of time on an analog/digital clock.
Representation:
  • Use a number line to identify intervals of time.
  • Understand the concept of increasing/decreasing time.
  • Use visual representation (picture schedule) to identify elapsed time.
  • Understand vocabulary for: digital clock, analog clock, o’clock, hour, half hour, quarter hour, time.
  • Understand that 60 min = 1 hour.

Number: MAFS.3.MD.1.AP.1a
Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14
Cluster: Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects. (Major Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
