Area word problems using a real world context pose new mathematical challenges for students to negotiate.
Students develop a meaning of multiplication through the use of arrays.
Knowledge in Action! Today you will find out if the students are understanding the idea of decomposing and composing shapes with pattern blocks.
1, 2, 3,... Students will demonstrate their counting ability as they count sets of objects between 40-60.
The connection between subjects is an important one to establish for students. Communicating across subjects is part of the Common Core expectations.
Using a broken ruler requires students to turn to addition and subtraction skills in order to determine measurements.
Analyzing the work of others to determine if it meets the criteria for building a nest box.
SWBAT count a set of up to 20 objects by 1's. SWBAT use number names and written numbers to label the quantities they represent. SWBAT order a set of numbers and quantities up to 12.
Students will be able to use strategies to solve real-world problems involving area and perimeter.
Students will be able to use strategies to solve real-world problems involving area and perimeter.
I love blending art and math. I want my students to develop a depth of knowledge for 2D plane shapes and distinguish polygon from non-polygon shapes.
Kindergarteners love to identify shapes in their environment. In order to effectively do that, they must be able to recognize different shapes by their specific attributes. In this lesson kindergartners learn about the attributes of a cylinder.
Students solve change unknown story problems using a number line. This lesson gives students a new strategy to attach change unknown word problems.
To introduce these terms, students get to learn a little mouse with a LONG name! After reading Chrysanthemum, students look at how long all of their names are and use the terms, "shorter, equal to and longer than" to compare the lengths.
Kindergarteners love to identify shapes in their environment. In order effectively do that, they must be able to recognize different shapes by their specific attributes. In this lesson kindergartners learn about the attributes of a circle.
Numbers don't stop at 20! This lesson looks at the numbers beyond 20 using the book "The Cheerios Counting Book" by Barbara Barbieri McGrath. This lesson includes a detailed plan, links to center ideas, a printable worksheet, and a video tutorial.
Area comes alive when you design your own space.
Understanding area and perimeter can help children work on solutions to very important, real world problems.
Differences between shapes are determined through measurement skills.
Children need to move from the manipulative expressions of the distributive property into the mathematical equations eventually. This lesson is the first step in leading them to that goal.
