In this lesson, students will use a variety of materials to create a boat that float and hold weight without sinking.
Students will explore some of the history behind geometry concepts. They will write a brief report and create a problem for other students to solve that relates the geometry history aspect that they reported.
Module 7 presents an opportunity for students to practice addition and subtraction strategies within 100 and problem-solving skills as they learn to work with various types of units within the contexts of length, money, and data.åÊ Students represent categorical and measurement data using picture graphs, bar graphs, and line plots.åÊ They revisit measuring and estimating length from Module 2, though now using both metric and customary units.
Module 2 uses place value to unify measurement, rounding skills, and the standard algorithms for addition and subtraction. åÊThe module begins with plenty of hands-on experience using a variety of tools to build practical measurement skills and conceptual understanding of metric and time units.åÊ Estimation naturally surfaces through application; this transitions students into rounding.åÊ In the moduleåÕs final topics students round to assess whether or not their solutions to problems solved using the standard algorithms are reasonable.
