How Does Time Interval | Mathematics Grade 5 | Periwinkle Work?

Time interval is like counting how long you play with your favorite toy between two breaks.

Imagine you start playing with your blocks at 10:00 AM, and you stop to have lunch at 10:25 AM. The time between these two moments, from 10:00 AM to 10:25 AM, is called a time interval. It tells us how much time passed while you were playing.

A time interval is the amount of time that passes between two events. You can think of it like the number of minutes, hours, or seconds between when something starts and when it ends.

For example:

• If you start drawing at 2:00 PM and finish at 2:15 PM, your time interval is 15 minutes.
• If a movie starts at 3:30 PM and ends at 4:45 PM, the time interval of the movie is 1 hour and 15 minutes.

You can count time intervals using a clock or a timer, just like you count how many steps it takes to walk from your room to the kitchen!
