Dash a runner along a timeline to measure elapsed time: leap whole hours, hop five minutes at a time, and land right on the finish flag.
A runner stands on a timeline of hour posts and five-minute ticks, and every round is a dash: leap whole hours and hop minutes to measure the gap between two times, dash exactly a given duration to find when something ends (with an analog clock spinning along), or run the clock backward to find when it started. The hop-to-the-next-hour strategy children discover here is the standard elapsed-time method, made physical. A natural fit for Grades 3–5, or any child learning to reason carefully about time intervals.
