Free printable telling time problems
This worksheet asks children to start from a given clock time and add a stretch of minutes to find the new time. Each of the six items is a short sentence that names a start time and how many minutes pass, with a dashed line underneath—there are no analog clock faces to read. It suits early elementary students who can already read digital times and are ready to count forward by 30, 45, 60, or 75 minutes, including problems that wrap into the next hour.

Peek at the solution
This free download is a high-resolution PNG sized for a 6x9 inch page, plus a matching solution page with the six finished times filled in. There is no signup. Print the files at home or in class whenever you want another round of elapsed-time practice.
How to play
- Read the starting time and the number of minutes that pass in each numbered problem.
- Add those minutes to the start time, carrying extra minutes into the next hour when you pass 60.
- Write the new time on the dashed line under the question.
- Check the six answers on the solution page when you want to confirm the work.
Print at 100% scale on letter or A4 paper so the dashed answer lines stay long enough to write a time such as 11:15.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the answer key for these time problems?
A matching solution page is included on this page as a second image. It lists each of the six word problems again with the finished time filled in on the dashed line, so you can check work after kids finish or keep it aside if you want them to solve first.
Is this telling-time worksheet free to print?
Yes. Both the worksheet and the solution download as free PNG files with no signup. You may print copies for home practice or a classroom math station. There is no email gate and no extra file format to unpack.
Who should use this elapsed-time page?
It fits first through third graders who can read times such as 4:15 or 12:30 and are learning to add 30, 45, 60, or 75 minutes. The page is all word problems—no pictured clocks—so it also works as a reading-and-math mix for kids who are past analog-clock matching and ready to reason about elapsed time in words.
How should I print this worksheet so the lines stay usable?
Use letter or A4 paper and print at 100% scale, not fit-to-page. The image is sized for a 6x9 inch layout, and shrinking it shortens the dashed answer lines. Black ink on plain paper is enough; a slightly heavier sheet is nicer if children will erase and rewrite a time.
