Abby is frustrated because she can't jump rope. Elmo offers to help her, but he has just as much trouble, causing him to get frustrated too. They decide to jump without the rope until they learn how to properly jump rope. This resource focuses on problem-solving and dealing with frustration. [2:11]

Students learn about the specific goals of the Application Guidebook where they will select a task and begin conducting research for their task.

Come and play with Clifford the Big Red Dog! Your favorite big red dog is back with all new stories, songs and adventures.

Come and play with Clifford the Big Red Dog! Your favorite big red dog is back with all new stories, songs, and adventures. In All Around Birdwell, it's a perfect day to explore Birdwell Island. Your student can take a stroll around the island to help out and play with Clifford's friends along the way.

After reading a book about pirates, Clifford and Emily Elizabeth go on a pretend swashbuckling adventure around Birdwell Island in search of treasure! During "Red Beard the Pirate," Emily Elizabeth makes her pirate hat from a sheet of newspaper. Students will join in the fun and make their pirate hats to wear as they explore imaginary adventures in class! [1:33]

What are you passionate about? This dance sequence encourages students to think about their passions and to share them with others. By emphasizing how it feels to do something you're passionate about, the video empowers students to embrace their interests and inspires them to reach for their dreams! The supplementary materials guide students through putting into words how they feel when doing what they love, taking pride in their passion, and thinking of ways they can share it with others.

Samples and ProbabilityType of Unit: ConceptualPrior KnowledgeStudents should be able to:Understand the concept of a ratio.Write ratios as percents.Describe data using measures of center.Display and interpret data in dot plots, histograms, and box plots.Lesson FlowStudents begin to think about probability by considering the relative likelihood of familiar events on the continuum between impossible and certain. Students begin to formalize this understanding of probability. They are introduced to the concept of probability as a measure of likelihood, and how to calculate probability of equally likely events using a ratio. The terms (impossible, certain, etc.) are given numerical values. Next, students compare expected results to actual results by calculating the probability of an event and conducting an experiment. Students explore the probability of outcomes that are not equally likely. They collect data to estimate the experimental probabilities. They use ratio and proportion to predict results for a large number of trials. Students learn about compound events. They use tree diagrams, tables, and systematic lists as tools to find the sample space. They determine the theoretical probability of first independent, and then dependent events. In Lesson 10 students identify a question to investigate for a unit project and submit a proposal. They then complete a Self Check. In Lesson 11, students review the results of the Self Check, solve a related problem, and take a Quiz.Students are introduced to the concept of sampling as a method of determining characteristics of a population. They consider how a sample can be random or biased, and think about methods for randomly sampling a population to ensure that it is representative. In Lesson 13, students collect and analyze data for their unit project. Students begin to apply their knowledge of statistics learned in sixth grade. They determine the typical class score from a sample of the population, and reason about the representativeness of the sample. Then, students begin to develop intuition about appropriate sample size by conducting an experiment. They compare different sample sizes, and decide whether increasing the sample size improves the results. In Lesson 16 and Lesson 17, students compare two data sets using any tools they wish. Students will be reminded of Mean Average Deviation (MAD), which will be a useful tool in this situation. Students complete another Self Check, review the results of their Self Check, and solve additional problems. The unit ends with three days for students to work on Gallery problems, possibly using one of the days to complete their project or get help on their project if needed, two days for students to present their unit projects to the class, and one day for the End of Unit Assessment.

Lesson OverviewGroups will begin presentations for their unit project. Students will provide constructive feedback on others' presentations.Key ConceptsStudents should demonstrate their understanding of the unit concepts.Goals and Learning ObjectivesPresent projects and demonstrate an understanding of the unit concepts.Provide feedback for others' presentations.Clarify any misconceptions or areas of difficulty.Review the concepts from the unit.

Calling all big, big helpers! Mister Chris needs help cleaning up the barn studio. To get us excited about cleaning up, Mister Chris sings a joyful song as we find homes for various items in the barn studio. Join Mister Chris and Elephant to clean up the barn studio! How do you make cleaning up playful at home? Includes a supplemental printable activity. [3:34]

Early one morning, Mister Chris quietly tip toes into the barn studio and sings a soft, sweet song to Elephant to help them transition from sleeping to waking. Elephant is a little grumpy as they wake up, and Mister Chris reminds them that today is an opportunity! They stretch and sing about the promise of the day.Use the First and Then resource watch and play with new ideas about daily routine. [3:40]

Every goal starts with taking the first step. Teaching kids to save money by collecting in a specific place such as a piggy bank or a jar shows kids concretely how much they are saving. Every time you save up to a certain small, new amount, celebrate by doing a fun "I Can Save" dance!

Giving new things a try helps children learn, grow, and take on challenges! These resources teach kids and parents that they are always growing and learning!

In every adventure, some things change, but others stay the same. Use this page as a way to talk about the things that are the same, things that are different, and things that you'd like to keep the same, perhaps family traditions or routines.
