SWBAT define words using a child friendly definition while adding an action in order to retain the meaning of new words.
In the NGSS, one of the performance expectations is for the children to develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area. In the science practices, the children also must develop and use models. This lesson will help them understand that process. Video clips of the student's explaining their models are included.
Making ten is one of the foundational strategies for developing flexible numerical thinking, accuracy, and efficiency.
Students identify and interpret traits that are found in mammals by noticing differences among animals of the same species. Make a claim that traits are inherited from parents that is supported by evidence.
Not everyone solves a problem in the same way. Reinforcing that different strategies can be used effectively is the goal of this lesson.
What does it mean for two fractions to be called equivalent? Students develop strategies for generating equivalent fractions and simplifying fractions.
Preparation for reading complex informational texts starts in K and First grade. Knowing the features of the genre, and how to navigate through it is one of the necessary stepping stones.
