Stretch into multi-step elapsed-time reasoning with realistic schedules. Multiple choice tracks Sara leaving for school at 7:38 AM and arriving 17 minutes later, a soccer game running 4:15 PM to 5:03 PM, and Kai working backward from finishing homework at 5:22 PM after 34 minutes.

Fill-ins push further: music class starting at 1:27 PM for 33 minutes, the gap from 10:14 AM to 10:51 AM, and a dentist visit from 3:42 PM to 4:18 PM. You'll also work backward from 8:16 AM to find when breakfast ended 24 minutes earlier. Crossing-the-hour and reverse-direction problems are where elapsed time gets real, and that's exactly the muscle this builds.
