Counting by 10's is easy for students of this age. Knowing that base 10 can be used to help multiply and divide in the higher numbers by decomposing is critical. This lesson sets the base for future work.
Students calculate decimal quantities while making sense of real world situations.
Multiplication with decimals is a life skill used when making purchases and measuring.
Using a mathematical model, students will be able to visually see the process of how to multiply a fraction by a whole number to find its product in order to gain a deeper understanding to ultimately be able to do it on their own.
Students fluently multiply multi-digit decimal quantities.
How do you multiply decimals? Where does the decimal point go? Students work on answering these questions and developing an algorithm for multiplying decimals.
If 24 x 63 =1512, then what will be the product for 0.24 x 6.3? Students work on answering these questions and solidifying an algorithm for multiplying decimals.
Students use math, music and technology in this engaging lesson on fractions!
Students will discover that names are made up of letters and will be able to identify their name and write it in a sentence. This lesson includes links to an Alphafriends video, pictures of student work, and videos of the lesson in action.
I can create things that have their own unique perimeter.
After partners have worked with each other and have some practice creating arrays, it is time to challenge them to define the concept demonstrated by an array and how it can be used to solve problems.
How can you fix Nana's chocolate milk? Students work on this problem over time to develop a final product that demonstrates their mathematical thinking and solution.
Students will read an article by Byron Loosle on the meaning of Native American symbols and compare that to a video clip of an actual Native American explaining the symbols. There is a difference of opinion and students will weigh both arguments along with the importance of the source and write their own opinion on the subject.
In this lesson, students develop narratives by describing characters and creating a logical event sequence. This is part of a larger unit but can be taught separately.
Many kindergarteners come to school with rote counting skills, but they often do not understand that the numbers they can recite actually represent quantities. This lesson helps to make that connection.
Using castles and treasure maps, students will learn how fractions are parts of a whole.
SWBAT apply their understanding of patterns on the hundreds chart and the counting sequence to create a number chart.
Numbers don't stop at 20! We spend the last week or so of school looking at the numbers beyond 20. Today we do it through a story.
Numbers don't stop at 20! We spend the last week or so of school looking at the numbers beyond 20.
Research paper writing is a lofty goal for kindergarten students, but this lesson will expose them to the process without being overwhelming. Students will divide into teams to learn about ocean creatures and then write a research paper and orally present it to the class. Included are pictures and videos of the lesson in action.
