On a long car ride, a seven-year-old asks “How long now?” so often that the answer stops meaning anything. This 2nd grade elapsed hours word problems worksheet turns that question around. Each of the eight stories gives two times, a start time and an end time, and your child finds the hours in between. Owen spends an afternoon and evening at a new mall, while Ethel goes to work in the morning and leaves in the afternoon. A class visits an aquarium, a father and son pick apples until noon, and Brice takes a short baking class. A second page gives the answer key, worked out on a time line.
