Objective: To create as many different shapes as possible with three toothpicks.
Objective: To demonstrate place value of whole numbers.
Objective: Students will be able to demonstrate and estimate the sizes of an angle formed from a hands-on model.
Multiplication and Addition Skills
Objective: Students will enforce multiplication and/or addition skills through a game format. Students will work in small group or whole group settings. Students will also develop probability/chance concepts.
Objective: The students will add multiply, and divide proper and improper fractions with common and uncommon denominators to find the answer of one.
Objective: Using dice, the students will determine the probability of certain outcomes. After collecting data, they will then determine the mode, median and range. Eventually they will make predictions.
Prior Knowledge:
¥ Using other sets of data.
¥ Graphing techniques.
¥ Ability to find range, median & mode.
Objective: 1). Improve note taking.
2). Transfer knowledge from notes to practical application.
3). Visual experience with actual sizes of various whales.
4). Use of measurement basics to reproduce to scale.
Read Whales by Seymour Simon together. Reread and have students take notes on toothed and baleen whales. Make a chart/graph comparing the sizes of males and female whales: sperm, narwhal, killer, right, gray, fin, blue, and humpback. Assign a whale to a group of students. Give them adding machine tape and have them go into a long hallway and measure out the length of their whale with yard sticks. Construct a graph with all the length of adding machine tape in the hallway. Have students write the name of the whale and length in feet on the tape. Using overhead projectors, have students trace pictures of their chosen whale using the scale of 1 foot=1 inch. Have them cut out the shapes, color, write their notes about the whale, and the name of the whale on the reproductions and hang in the hallway.
Objective: Place value, reading large numbers.
Skip counting, even and odd numbers
Objective: To use a hundred chart to skip count and identify even and odd numbers.
Objective: Write a fraction to show a part of a whole. Compare fractions using pattern blocks. Add and subtract fractions using pattern blocks.
Objective: Show 1/2 with pattern blocks. Identify equal parts of a whole.
Objective: The student will find different ways to show the answer to the problem presented.
Objective: Students will learn estimation, comparing object and reading large numbers. "Make the chart".
Objective: Students will practice and gain knowledge of angles and perimeter.
Objective: To work with place value through hundreds place, to work with number sense, to vocalize numerical ideas.
