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.
