Learn how to classify, order, and graph real numbers.

A free CK-12 account is required to view all materials.

Students should be able to recognize what makes one number greater or smaller than another, using place value understanding which is crucial to Common Core mastery. This lesson combines math and science by having students order planets according to temperature. A detailed plan and video of students engaged in the lesson are included.

A part of the sorting and classifying standard that can be overlooked relates to assigning a number count to a group of similar objects. This lesson helps students find similar groups and practice counting and relating numbers to their sorted groups using an app on an iPad. This lesson contains buddy work with older students, pictures of students working together, and a printable count and match checklist.

Comparing the number of objects in two groups, using one-to one-correspondence, is a foundational skill that students will build on as they begin to compare numbers. This lesson will allow students to practice this skill in small groups. Pictures and videos of the lesson in action are included.

Students will be able to compare groups of objects to decide if they are equal with this lesson. Included are pictures and videos of the lesson in action, worksheets, and a SMART Board resource.

Using Fruit Loops, students sort by color, count, and enjoy a yummy snack!

In order to pull small groups during math instruction, the rest of the students need engaging activities that they can complete independently. These simple sorting activities help students learn the procedures for completing math centers.

SWBAT sort objects by size. The instructor will use a Promethean board (interactive projection) to facilitate this lesson.

Counting bears that are the same size and shape help students focus on just one attribute.

Students will be able to sort pictures that are alike and determine which group has more and fewer pictures.

Critical thinking, comprehension and analysis skills are the focus of this physical activity. Good beginning to teaching different ways of looking at things.

Computer Science A (CSA) introduces students to software engineering and object-oriented programming and design using the Java programming language. This curriculum covers a broad range of topics, including the design of solutions to problems, the use of data structures to organize large sets of data, the development and implementation of algorithms to process data and discover new information, the analysis of potential solutions, and the ethical and social implications of computing systems.
This full course from Code.org is aligned to CSTA standards.
