Practice telling time using a multiple choice assessment.
This standards-based NCTM website offers resources for teachers of mathematics for all grade levels, including interactive math tools, lesson plans, online resources, and the like.
Given an assortment of unknown metals to identify, student pairs consider what unique intrinsic (aka intensive) metal properties (such as density, viscosity, boiling or melting point) could be tested. For the provided activity materials (copper, aluminum, zinc, iron or brass), density is the only property that can be measured so groups experimentally determine the density of the "mystery" metal objects. They devise an experimental procedure to measure mass and volume in order to calculate density. They calculate average density of all the pieces (also via the graphing method if computer tools area available). Then students analyze their own data compared to class data and perform error analysis. Through this inquiry-based activity, students design their own experiments, thus experiencing scientific investigation and experimentation first hand. A provided PowerPoint(TM) file and information sheet helps to introduce the five metals, including information on their history, properties and uses.
In this lesson, students will learn how to use a ruler to measure in inches and compare objects using the words "longest" and "shortest."
In this lesson on reviewing third-grade math concepts, students learn about the mathematical domains and complete a variety of practice problems.
Normally we find things using landmark navigation. When you move to a new place, it may take you awhile to explore the new streets and buildings, but eventually you recognize enough landmarks and remember where they are in relation to each other. However, another accurate method for locating places and things is using grids and coordinates. In this activity, students will come up with their own system of a grid and coordinates for their classroom and understand why it is important to have one common method of map-making.
Build your measurement and time telling skills in this lesson where the hours are broken down into minutes. Lots of related vocabulary and common time referents presented. There are links available to interactive elapsed time and counting time games
In this video from Odd Squad, Olive and Otto are still trapped in a comic book and must get to page 30 using only the numbers 1 and 3.
Learn about units of measure for liquids in this fun clip from the Odd Squad. When a gallon of blob is loose in headquarters, Otto and Olive are determined to find it before their rivals do.
Learn about comparing weights with the Odd Squad. Olive and Otto are curious about what is inside Ms. O's briefcase and hope to guess what it is from its weight. They use a seesaw for a scale and common objects as weights for comparison.
Learn about telling time and teamwork with the Odd Squad. Someone has released the dinosaurs from the Odd Squad Dinosaur Room! Fortunately, Oscar has a time machine that Olive and Otto can use to go back in time and stop it from ever happening. Can they keep track of the minutes to save the Odd Squad from sure destruction?
Oscar looks at patterns by using a number line, and makes predictions about a giant sighting in the area.
Oscar uses a chart to explain similarities and differences when comparing a Tiggle and a Taggle.
Learn about measurements and problem solving with the Odd Squad. Otto and Olive collect an exact amount of loganberry juice from a tree protected by a friendly ogre.
Learn about the differences and relationships between two- and three-dimensions. Olive has been flattened in the line of duty, and it's up to Otto and Oscar to get her back to normal.
This video will help children with measuring liquids in quarts and gallons. When both pairs of agents--Olive and Otto versus Oren and Olaf--capture pieces of the Blob, they visit the Mathroom to see who has more.
Learn how to read a calendar and understand dates as Oscar introduces agents to the Odd Squad Games Room.
Students use three tracks marked on the floor, one in yards, one in feet and one in inches. As they start and stop a robot specific distances on a "runway," they can easily determine the equivalent measurements in other units by looking at the nearby tracks. With this visual and physical representation of the magnitude of the units of feet, yard and inches, students gain an understanding of what is meant by "unit conversion." They also gain a familiarity with different common units of measurement. They use multiplication and division to verify their physical estimated unit conversions. Students also learn about how common and helpful it is to convert from one unit to another in everyday situations and for engineering purposes. This activity helps students make the abstract concept of unit conversion real so they develop mental models of the magnitude of units instead of applying memorized conversion factors by rote.
Grades 1 &2: Otto is shrinking, and the Odd Squad agents must find the potato that will turn Agent Otto back to his original height.
