Arithmetic for Planning Your Day

Scheduling activities is easier with math! You add up time, subtract to see how much is left, and divide activities across your day.

Why Planning Needs Math

  • Add up minutes or hours for activities
  • Subtract time spent from the time available
  • Divide your day into different tasks

Math helps you stay organized and use your time well!

Examples

  • If you have 2 hours and spend 30 minutes reading, you have 2 - 0.5 = 1.5 hours left.

  • Dividing 60 minutes into 4 equal activities means each gets 60 ÷ 4 = 15 minutes.
