One of my favorite vacations when I was in third grade was to go camping with my grandparents and their friends and family. We would always leave, with the camper in tow, from my grandparent's house in East Windsor. It usually took us about an hour and a quarter to get to the campsite. If we always set up in the daylight, but after noon, what time did we most likely set up?

When you are done, work with your Math group to try this out:
Do you think you know when one minute has passed? - When we say, "Go!" put your head down.
- When you think one minute has gone by, pick your head up.
- We will say, "Stop!" when one minute has passed.
- What did you notice about how you perceive (are aware) of time?
