Middle School Paycheck Math Lesson: Timecards & Overtime, Grades 6-8

How many hours did Kai work if he clocked in at 8:30 and out at 5:00, with a 30-minute unpaid lunch? Students read a timecard, take away the unpaid break, and turn minutes into decimal hours (45 minutes is 0.75 hour, not 0.45). Then they find gross pay as hours times the hourly rate.
