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.
The children have been practicing decomposing areas and now digits in order to understand and use the distributive property.
Multiple graphs can represent the same data set and make the information easier to understand.
Students have been working with pictographs and bar graphs. Now they take their learning a step further by working with Venn Diagrams.
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Now Stop and Turn It Around! That is the idea today as the students are introduced to the idea of counting back to 1.
Students love to have choice and move around the classroom in this measurement lesson that begins with a beloved picture book.
This lesson is a real world task that combines many skills the students have learned throughout the school year.
SWBAT order a set of numbers and quantities up to 12 and compare two quantities up to 10 to see which one is greater. The students will also demonstrate their knowledge of how the numbers in the counting sequence are related (that each number is 1 more or 1 less than the number before or after it).
Who's the REAL meat eater here? Let's do some math and find out!
Students will extend their understanding of hundreds, tens and ones using dollars, dimes and pennies as another way to express groups of 100, 10 and 1.
