    K.OA.3 Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1). Sticky Note: This could easily be used for higher grade levels by changing the problems to harder equations in addition or subtraction, it would still probably only be useful for lower grades.

      Sticky Note: I choose a kindergarten standard for this because it could be easily manipulated to fit this standard. They could be grouping these based on how high they bounce. It could also be used with higher grade levels with math and doing measuring, graphs and data (range, mean, median, mode, etc).

    K.1.1. Use all senses as appropriate to observe, sort and describe objects according to their composition and physical properties, such as size, color and shape. Explain these choices to others and generate questions about the objects. Sticky Note: I choose a kindergarten standard for this because it could be easily manipulated to fit this standard.

Chalk it Up! An Outdoor Classification Activity | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      1.MD.4 "Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another." This activity can be modified for ELL students by drawing pictures, rather than writing words, in each category. For older age levels, this activity could include more difficult or complex categories.
  •  
    Children classify and sort objects found outdoors into a chart/graph on the sidewalk. This chart or graph can be written with sidewalk chalk. The categories can be predetermined by the teacher, or the students can come up with the categories.

      These activities can be used as sensory counting activities for special needs students.
  •  
    It's no secret that children absolutely love marshmallows. It's also not a secret that children don't always love math. But put the two things together and you've got some fun activities that will get your child excited about math basics like estimation, measurement, area, and counting. He'll have so much fun, he won't even know he's doing math! Here some ideas for marshmallow math games you can play with your kindergartner.

      Very cool website.  This could be a place to discuss African American scientist, George Alcorn.  (invented the Imaging XRay Spectrometer.)  Black History Month opportunity
  •  
    VERY cool Earth Science/Space crossover project.  Students can send in a rock from their area, and NASA will use a special tool (like the one on the Mars Exploration Rovers) to tell you what it's made of.  Students could compare rocks on Earth to the rocks found on Mars.   Class can view and print various rock pictures from this website and create their own rock book, differentiating by ability.  (could be categorized by color, composition, geographic location, etc.)  It can be expanded as needed.  Kindergarten example would be to create a journal entitled "My Rock Collection."  They would find pictures of rocks that are blue, red, yellow, green, purple, etc and categorize them.

BrainPOP Jr. | Seasons | Lesson Ideas - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      K.2.3 "Describe in words and pictures the changes in weather from month to month and season to season."  This activity can be adjusted for ELL students by allowing them to use only pictures for recording their observations. If the students are feeling somewhat comfortable with the new language, they can be paired with English speaking students to work together to spell and sound out words for their notebooks. This activity can be modified for older age groups by having the students make predictions about what is going to happen with the weather conditions. These students can also make predictions about why they think the seasons change.
  •  
    Students can participate in this long-term activity by observing and recording the weather each week of the school term, or the school year. The students can do various activities within this long-term activity, such as measuring the amount of rain or snow, recording weather conditions, making observations in a notebook, etc. This is a great way to observe and learn the seasons!

Snag a Spoon! A Math Game | Education.com - 1 views

    • Jessica Buell
       
      You can adapt this lesson by using smaller numbers until the concept is grasped, then you can move to larger numbers
    • Jessica Buell
       
      You could extend this activity to higher grades by using higher fractions, adding or subrtacting fractions, or for younder geades by using number cards instead of a deck of cards to help them identify numbers.
    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This game could be used in younger grades (K and 1st) by having the students use a regular deck of cards and finding four numbers of the same kind instead of equivalent numbers. Higher advanced students could use a deck of cards with harder fractions and percentages. They could also create their own decks of cards to play with. Lower ability students could use decks of cards were they have to find two fractions and/or two percentages instead of four different equivalent numbers.
  •  
    In this version of the classic card game, students gain a solid understanding of basic equivalents, while having so much fun they may not realize it's a math review.

Make Geometry Creatures! | Education.com - 3 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      Even though this activity is mainly for 3rd and 4th grades it can be changed to work with every grade level K-6. For older grades you could change the activity to include a wider variety of shapes/concepts. For younger students you could use basic shapes and have them create a picture with them without writing the words. This activity could be linked to writing. Students could create a picture with their shapes and then write a story about their picture. You would be connecting langauge arts with math. For ELLs put them with a native English speaker and have the ELL make the picture but have the native English speaker write the words or story for the picture.
  •  
    Students create pictures using geometric shapes, they then will write down the shapes that they used. This puts puts math together with art.
  •  
    CCS:3.G.1 Great for learning the name of shapes. You can also incorporae following directions if you give tem steps to follow in making their creatures. You can also allow the stdents to be the leader in giving out directions to make the creatures.

Play Pattern Hopscotch! | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      2.NBT.2 "Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s." This activity can be modified for gifted students by making the pattern more challenging for them. For example, instead of making the pattern of counting by 2s, the teacher could make the pattern counting by 2s, plus 1. This activity could be used for older grades by having the students come up with their own patterns.
    • Susie Beesley
       
      I love the active involvement!
  •  
    Students fill the empty boxes of a hopscotch game by continuing the number patterns given. The teacher can start by filling in the first four boxes, and asking the students to decide which numbers would come after the ones provided.

Play Math Flash Bingo | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      2.OA.1 "Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem." This activity can be adjusted for ELL students by giving them manipulatives to work out their problems. It can also be adjusted for gifted students by challenging them to fill their entire BINGO card, rather than just a line of numbers. This activity can be used in older age groups by providing multiplication or division flash cards, rather than addition or subtraction flash cards.
  •  
    Students solve addition problems on flash cards and find the corresponding answer on their BINGO sheet. The first one to get a BINGO wins!

Creating Line Symmetry | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      4.G.3 "Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry." This activity can be modified for gifted students by challenging them with more cards. Encourage them to use as many cards as they would like while participating in this activity! This activity can be used with younger ages by using objects other than cards. A big picture cut into pieces would help the students visualize symmetry, as it would be more like putting a puzzle together. The leader just gets to choose in what order the puzzle is assembled! Both players could check their work by knowing if the picture looks right.
  •  
    A pair of students work together for this symmetry activity. The students sit across from one another, with playing cards dealt for each student. A ruler or other dividing line separates one student's side from the other. One player starts as the leader, and places one of their cards down on the table. The player on the other side of the line follows the leader in an attempt to match the first player's moves perfectly on their side of the divider.

Explore Sand Silt and Clay - National Wildlife Federation - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      1.2.1 "Observe and compare properties of sand, clay, silt and organic matter. Look for evidence of sand, clay, silt and organic matter as components of soil samples." This activity can be modified for gifted students by having them record their predictions about which particles will sink and which particles will float, rather than solely making the observations. This activity can also be modified for older grades by having them do the same thing. The older students can also be told to gather material that is sand, silt, and clay, and try to keep these in separate jars. 
  •  
    Students gather dirt samples from different outdoor areas and fill a jar with their dirt samples. The teacher will add water until the jar is two-thirds full and the students will take turns shaking their jar for two minutes. Each group will allow the contents in their jar to settle for fifteen to thirty minutes. Have the students make observations about how the dirt settled. The heaviest pieces of soil will settle first. Have the students identify the different-sized particles.

Make a Geo Board | Education.com - 1 views

  •  
    This is a great activity that could be used as early as grade K. This can really help young students grasp a full awareness of shapes and how they are formed. 
  •  
    I could not hammer that many nails without getting frustrated. To me, it's worth it to buy geobards because it's hard to get the spacing perfect and keep the nails straight and not have them pop out.
  •  
    Using a geoboard is fun, but making one from scratch is frustrating! I cannot hammer that many nails in and keep them straight and evenly spaced. It is definitely worth it to me to BUY geoboards instead of trying to make my own.

Make a Soda Bottle Greenhouse | Education.com - 1 views

    • Jessica Buell
       
      Kindergarten activity for Life Science...you can also chart the growth of the plants while going over plant parts
    • Jessica Buell
       
      Adaptions: be sure to go over vocabulary. Also, you can chart and draw picture step by step of how the students are to put together their "greenhouses" Extensions: You can extend this to higher grades by discussing the water cycle and demonstrating how the water cycle created moisture in the greenhouses in order to water the seeds. Also, if possible you can plan a fiend trip to a greenhouse, (a lot of times these are FREE and they will do demonstrations and age appropriate activities with the students!)

Froggie Counting Game | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      K.CC.4 "Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality." This activity can be used with ELL students by having them simply count the spaces, rather than finding the matching number from the die. The gifted students can be given cards, rather than die, with simple math problems on them. The student would move their froggy to the number on the board that is the solution to their math problem. For example, if their card read "3 + 2", the child would move their froggy to the 5 space. This activity could be used with older grades by using the card concept, but using multiplication or division problems.
  •  
    Children roll a dice to advance their "froggy" to the next number. The first one to get the froggy in it's house at the end of the tray, wins!

Kindergarten Lesson on Polar Bear Blubber & Other Cool Facts on Polar Bears - 0 views

    • Lori Jones
       
      This goes with the Blubber worksheet from the other website about Polar Bear Blubber.
  • Activity: Blubber GloveThis teacher assisted activity will help the children to understand how the layer of blubber keeps the polar bear warm. I got this idea from the (Editors of Publications International, Ltd). These are the items you will need: Crisco, 1 cup 2 large zip-lock bags Bucket for ice and water Fill the bowl with ice and water. With one bag filled with the shortening, the child places his hand in the other zip-lock bag, used as a glove. He then slides it into the bag of "blubber". Seal the edges on each side as close to the child's hand as possible. Help the child to swish the shortening evenly around his hand, then dip it into the bucket of ice water. As the child tests the ice water with the other hand, ask to compare how it felt with and without the "blubber glove". Make a chart to record the student's observations, with and without the "blubber". Explain that the polar bear has up to 4 inches of blubber that insulates his body to keep him warm.

Play Terrific Tens Go Fish! | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      2.OA.2 "Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.2 By end of Grade 2, know from memory sums all of two one-digit numbers." This game could be modified for gifted students by using more number cards, and modifying the goal. The goal for these students could be to get cards that total 20, rather than 10. This game could also be used for older age groups by having them play with negative and positive numbers. 
  •  
    This game will help students with strategy.
  •  
    This is a spin off of the classic "Go Fish" game! Children take turns drawing cards and trying to come up with as many pairs of cards as they can that total 10. The winner is the player with the most pairs of cards.
