Calculating Time Differences Strategies

The video tutorial covers three methods for calculating time differences: the bridging strategy, the jump strategy, and the subtraction strategy using 24-hour time. Each method is explained with examples, and students are encouraged to understand all methods to choose the most suitable one for different situations.

Why is it important to learn different methods for calculating time differences?

• Because it's a school requirement

• To make time calculations more complicated

• Because different methods suit different situations

• To impress your friends with math skills

What is the first step in the Bridging Strategy?

• Bridge to the closest hour

• Subtract the earlier time from the later time

• Convert time to 24-hour format

• Jump to the final time

In the Bridging Strategy, what do you do after reaching the closest hour?

• Count the hours to the destination time

• Count the remaining minutes

• Jump to the final time

• Subtract the earlier time from the later time

What is the main idea behind the Jump Strategy?

• Bridge to the closest hour

• Jump the largest number of hours without overshooting

• Convert time to 24-hour format

• Subtract the earlier time from the later time

In the Jump Strategy, what do you do after jumping the hours?

• Count the remaining minutes

• Bridge to the closest hour

• Convert time to 24-hour format

• Subtract the earlier time from the later time

What is the first step in the Subtraction method using 24-hour time?

• Jump to the final time

• Convert both times to 24-hour format

• Bridge to the closest hour

• Count the remaining minutes

Why is it useful to write times with a gap in the Subtraction method?

• To remember place value

• To make it look neat

• To make subtraction easier

• To confuse the reader

What is the final step in the Subtraction method using 24-hour time?

• Subtract the earlier time from the later time

• Add the hours and minutes

• Convert time back to 12-hour format

• Jump to the final time

What is the benefit of learning all three methods for calculating time differences?

• To make calculations slower

• To avoid using any method

• To have multiple tools for different situations

• To confuse yourself

Which method involves using a timeline to bridge up to round numbers?

• Jump Strategy

• Subtraction using 24-hour Time

• None of the above

• Bridging Strategy
