time problem solving questions year 5

Elapsed time is the amount of time that passes between the beginning and the end of an event. The concept of elapsed time fits nicely in the elementary school curriculum. Beginning in third grade, students should be able to tell and write time to the nearest minute and solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time. Reinforce these essential skills with the following elapsed time word problems and games.

Elapsed Time Word Problems

These quick and easy elapsed time word problems are perfect for parents and teachers who want to help students practice elapsed time to the nearest minute with simple mental math problems. Answers are listed below.

Elapsed Time Games

Try these games and activities at home to help your children practice elapsed time.

Daily Schedule

Let your children keep track of their schedule and ask them to figure the elapsed time for each activity. For example, how long did your child spend eating breakfast, reading, taking a bath, or playing video games?

How Long Will It Take?

Give your kids practice with elapsed time by encouraging them to figure out how long daily activities take. For example, the next time you order a pizza online or by phone, you'll probably be given an estimated delivery time. Use that information to create a word problem that's relevant to your child's life, such as, "It's 5:40 p.m. now and the pizza shop says the pizza will be here at 6:20 p.m. How long will it take for the pizza to arrive?"

Order a set of time dice from online retailers or teacher supply stores. The set contains two twelve-sided dice, one with numbers representing the hours and the other with numbers representing minutes. Take turns rolling the time dice with your child. Each player should roll twice, then calculate the elapsed time between the two resulting dice times. (A pencil and paper will come in handy, as you'll want to jot down the time of the first roll.)

18 Word Problems For Year 5: Develop Their Problem Solving Skills Across Single and Mixed KS2 Topics

Emma Johnson

Word problems for Year 5 are a great way to assess pupils’ number fluency. By the time primary school children reach Upper Key Stage 2, they will be building on their knowledge and understanding of the number system and place value, working with larger integers. An increased understanding of the connections between the different maths concepts is crucial, as children will be expected to tackle more complex, multi-step problems.

It is important children are regularly provided with the opportunity to solve a range of word problems and Year 5 maths worksheets with reasoning and problem solving incorporated alongside fluency, into all lessons.

To help you with this, we have put together a collection of 18 word problems aimed at Year 5 maths pupils.

Place value 

Addition and subtraction , multiplication and division , fractions, decimals and percentages, measurement , why are word problems important in year 5 maths, how to teach problem solving in year 5, addition word problems for year 5, subtraction word problems for year 5,  multiplication word problems for year 5, division word problems for year 5, fraction and decimal word problems in year 5, mixed four operation word problems, word problem resources.

Year 5 maths word problems in the national curriculum

The National Curriculum states that by Year 5, pupils should develop their ability to solve a wider range of problems, including increasingly complex properties of numbers and arithmetic, and problems demanding efficient written and mental methods of calculation. Children also begin to use the language of algebra for solving a range of problems.

By Year 5, pupils should be starting to gain confidence in solving more complex two-step and multi-step word problems, covering topics across the Year 5 curriculum.

Solve number and practical problems involving ordering and comparing numbers to at least 1,00,000; counting forwards or backwards in steps of powers of 10; interpreting negative numbers in context and rounding to the nearest 10,100, 1000, 10,000 and 100,000.

Solve addition and subtraction word problems and a combination of these, including understanding the meaning of the equals sign.

Solve problems involving multiplication and division, including using knowledge of factors, multiples, squares and cubes and scaling by simple fractions.

Solve problems involving numbers up to 3 decimal places and problems which require knowing percentage and decimal equivalents.

Solve time word problems and those involving converting between units of time and problems involving measure (for example, length, mass, volume and money word problems ) using decimal notation and scaling.

Solve comparison, sum and difference problems, using information presented in a line graph.

Word problems are an important element of the Year 5 curriculum. By this stage, children need to be building confidence in approaching a range of one, two and multi-step word problems . They require children to be creative and apply the skills they have learnt to a range of real-life situations. 

Children need to be taught the skills for successfully approaching and tackling word problems. Reading the question carefully and identifying the key information needed to tackle the problem, is the first step, followed by identifying which calculations are required for solving it and deciding whether it will be helpful to draw a picture/ visual representation to understand and answer the question. 

Using mental maths skills to round and estimate an answer is also very helpful for children to establish whether their final answer is realistic. Children need to also be able to calculate the inverse, to be able to check their answer, once the problem has been completed.

Here is an example:

A transport museum has 1243 visitors on Monday morning and another 1387 visitors in the afternoon. On Tuesday 736 fewer visitors go to the museum than who visited on Monday.

How many visitors were there altogether on Tuesday?

How to solve:

What do you already know?

  • The number of visitors on Monday morning and Monday afternoon are given separately. They need to be added together to give the total number of visitors for Monday.
  • ‘Fewer’ means I will need to subtract the number of fewer visitors on Tuesday from the total number of visitors on Monday.
  • Column addition and subtraction will be needed to solve this question.

How can this be drawn/represented pictorially?

We can draw a bar model to represent this problem:

year 5 problem solving

  • To calculate the total number of visitors on Monday, we need to add 1243 and 1387 together. 1243 + 1387 = 2630
  • The number of fewer visitors on Tuesday needs to be subtracted from Monday’s total: 2630 – 736 = 1894.
  • The total number of visitors on Tuesday was 1894.

In Year 5, addition word problems can involve whole numbers with over 4 digits and decimal numbers. Children should be able to round number to check the accuracy and begin to solve two step number problems 

Addition question 1

Gemma picks two cards from the cards below and adds them together.  She is able to make three different totals. What will they be?

2365     6281      9782

Addition question 3

Change one digit in the calculation below, so that the answer is a multiple of 10.

Answer (1 mark) : 723 + 347 = 1070

Subtraction word problems in Year 5 require pupils to be confident subtracting numbers over 4 digits and problems involving decimal numbers. Pupils need to be able to round numbers to check accuracy and to use subtraction when solving mixed word problems. 

Subtraction question 1

Answer (1 mark): 157 stickers

long division answer

In Year 5, fractions word problems and decimals can include questions involving ordering, addition and subtraction of fractions. They can also involve converting between fractions and decimals. 

Fraction and decimal question 1

Isobel collected 24 conkers. She gave \frac{1}{8} of the conkers to her brother. How many conkers did she have left?

Answer (1 mark): 21 conkers left

\frac{1}{8} of 24 = 3

24 – 4 = 21

Fraction and decimal question 2

Ahmed counted out 32 sweets. He gave \frac{1}{4} of the sweets to his brother and \frac{3}{8} of the sweets to his friend. How many sweets did he have left?

Answer (2 marks): 12 sweets

\frac{1}{4} of 32 = 8

\frac{3}{8} of 32 = 12

He gave away 20 sweets, so had 12 left for himself.

Fraction and decimal question 3

Two friends shared some pizzas, 1 ate 1 \frac{1}{2} pizzas, whilst the other ate \frac{5}{8} of a pizza. How much did they eat altogether?

Answer (1 mark): 2 \frac{1}{8} of pizza

1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{12}{8}

\frac {12}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{17}{8} = 2 \frac{1}{8} pizzas

Problems with mixed operations, or ‘multi-step’ word problems, require two or more operations to solve them. A range of concepts can be covered within mixed problems, including the four operations, fractions, decimals and measures. These are worth more marks than some of the more straightforward, one-step problems.

Mixed operation question 1

At the cake sale, Sam buys 6 cookies and a cupcake . He pays £2.85 altogether. Naya buys 2 cookies and pays 90p altogether.

How much does the cupcake cost?

Answer (2 marks): 60p for one cupcake

money word problem

Mixed operation question 2

Large biscuit tin – 48 biscuits (picture of boxes here) Small biscuit tin – 30 biscuits Ben bought 2 large tins of biscuits and 3 small tins.

How many biscuits did he buy altogether?

Answer (2 marks): 186 biscuits

2 x 48 = 96

3 x 30 = 90

96 + 90 = 186 biscuits

Mixed operation question 3

The owner of a bookshop bought a box of 15 books for £150.

He sold the books individually for £12 each. 

How much profit did he make?

Answer (2 marks)

long multiplication money question

Word problems involving time in 5th-grade math

Word problems are essential to 5th-grade math as they require students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-life situations. With time-related word problems, students are presented with scenarios that involve time calculations and require critical thinking to arrive at the correct answers. Solving these word problems reinforces time concepts and enhances students' problem-solving and analytical skills.

Here are a few examples of word problems involving time in 5th-grade math that students may encounter:

  • Maya started baking cookies at 3:45 p.m. She baked for 1 hour and 30 minutes. What time did she finish baking?
  • Emma wants to go swimming for 2 hours and 45 minutes. If she starts at 10:00 a.m., what time will she finish?
  • The school bus picks up Jack at his house at 7:15 a.m. It takes him 30 minutes to get ready. What time should Jack wake up to catch the bus?
  • Sarah went to the park at 2:30 p.m. She played for 1 hour and 15 minutes. What time did she leave the park?

To solve time word problems effectively, students should follow a systematic approach that involves analyzing the given information, identifying the unknowns, and choosing the appropriate time calculations. By breaking down the problem into smaller steps, students can simplify the process and arrive at the correct answers. Let's explore some tips for solving time word problems effectively.

Tips for solving time word problems effectively

Solving time word problems can be challenging for students, but they can confidently tackle these problems with the right strategies. Here are some tips to help students solve time word problems effectively :

  • Read the problem carefully : Read the problem and identify the key information about time. Pay attention to the given start or end times, durations, and any other time-related details mentioned in the problem.
  • Identify the unknowns : Determine what needs to be calculated or found in the problem. Is it the start time, end time, duration, or something else? Identify the unknowns to avoid confusion during the calculation process.
  • Convert to a consistent time format : If the problem involves analog and digital time formats, convert them to a consistent format to simplify the calculations. For example, convert analog time to digital format or vice versa.
  • Break down the problem : Break down the problem into smaller steps or intervals if necessary. This can help students organize their thoughts and make the problem more manageable. For example, if the problem involves multiple activities with different durations, consider solving each activity separately before combining the results.
  • Use visual aids : Visual aids such as number lines or diagrams can help understand the problem and visualize the time intervals. Encourage students to draw diagrams or use number lines to represent the information and track the time calculations.
  • Practice estimation : Estimation can be a helpful strategy for checking the reasonableness of the answers. Encourage students to estimate the answer before performing the calculations. If the estimated answer significantly differs from the calculated answer, they can review their work and identify potential errors.

By following these tips and practicing regularly, students can develop their problem-solving skills and become more confident in tackling time-word problems. Using real-life examples of these problems further enhances their understanding and makes the learning experience more engaging.

Incorporating real-life examples in time word problems

One effective way to engage students in time word problems is by incorporating real-life examples . By presenting problems that reflect situations they can relate to, students become more invested in problem-solving and develop a deeper understanding of time concepts.

Real-life examples make the problems more interesting and help students see the practical applications of time-related math skills.

Here are a few examples of time word problems that incorporate real-life scenarios:

  • John goes to the gym every day at 5:30 p.m. He spends 1 hour and 15 minutes at the gym. What time does he finish his workout?
  • Lisa has a piano lesson at 4:45 p.m. The lesson lasts for 45 minutes. What time will she finish her lesson?
  • Tom starts his homework at 7:00 p.m. He works for 1 hour and 30 minutes. What time will he finish his homework?

When Elon Musk set up Tesla’s factory in China, he made a bet that brought him cheap parts and capable workers — a bet that made him ultrarich and saved his company.

Mara Hvistendahl, an investigative reporter for The Times, explains why, now, that lifeline may have given China the tools to beat Tesla at its own game.

A car is illuminated in purple light on a stage. To the side, Elon Musk is standing behind a lectern.

Background reading

A pivot to China saved Elon Musk. It also bound him to Beijing .

Mr. Musk helped create the Chinese electric vehicle industry. But he is now facing challenges there as well as scrutiny in the West over his reliance on China.

There are a lot of ways to listen to The Daily. Here’s how.
