      To differentiate pair students with different ability levels. If ELL students struggle, provide pictures of what activities you hope to have them accomplish
  •  
    Good web-site that can give you an entire unit on Gravity. Allows students to discuss energy and what causes things to go through motion with different weight and mass.

      You might also want to add a "life science" tag to this activity to make it easier for your colleagues to find and use.
  •  
    Students take surveys of different areas to find the best habitat for dandelions. They will think and hypothesize all while being engaged by being outdoors.

      Not sure how this gets differentiated, be sure to assign roles to students in groups to maximize their success. 
  •  
    Place students into groups when doing this activity. This can be a great way to teach students about the sun and planets. 
  •  
    I think you may have meant 5.2.1 for your standard. It seems to match more closely than 5.1.2.

ZOOM . activities . sci . Salt Pendulum | PBS Kids - 2 views

    • Liz Dilts
       
      2.1.3. Predict and experiment with methods (e.g. sieving, evaporation) to separate solids and liquids based on their physical properties.2.1.4 Observe, sketch, demonstrate and compare how objects can move in different ways (e.g., straight, zig-zag, back-and-forth, rolling, fast and slow).2.1.5 Describe the position or motion of an object relative to a point of reference (e.g., background, another object).2.1.6 Observe, demonstrate, sketch and compare how applied force (i.e., push or pull) changes the motion of objects. Differentiation: Instead of writing out a hypothesis, have special education students draw the designs or what they predict will happen to the salt when they swing their pendulum.
  •  
    Using paper, string, and salt, students will create a cone out of the paper that will act as their pendulum.  They will swing the pendulum so it just touches the pile of salt and watch the designs it makes.  Students can change the pendulum's direction to see if that changes the design.

Reaction Time Science: How Fast Are You? - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      This activity has a natural connection to a science lesson about how our senses and nerves work to create reactions.  The teacher can require different forms of data analysis based on the students' skill level.  Simple min/max to averages and standard deviation are available.
  •  
    A simple activity that is fun and competitive and can generate a lot of data for data analysis practice.

Builders' Paradise: A Number Line Card Game | Education.com - 1 views

    • Jessica Buell
       
      you can adapt this lesson by using only the number cards 1-9 instead of a deck of cards and have them line up that many manuplitaves, for advanced children you could make the queen & kind "wild" cards.
    • Jessica Buell
       
      you can extend this lesson for 1st or 2nd grade by paring them up into two. They lay the 5 out and one person is the "dealer" and the other person is the "guesser". The guesser gets to ask if the card is higher or lower than 5. After the dealer resonds the guesses must try to guess which number they think the dealer has. If they guess it correclty the dealer keeps the deck, and if they guess it incorrectly the dealer passes the deck on and they switch roles. This is a great activity to reviewing , or =.

      This would be a great activity to add to an ELL lesson that is enriching geometry simply because you can work on English math vocabulary while also learning/reviewing geometric shapes.
    • Laura Riggins
       
      This would be great to increase math vocabulary for ELL students by adding this to a lesson on geometric terms. It would be great to do at the end to make sure that students have a clear understanding of the math lingo.
  •  
    2.G.1 Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces.5 Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. You would have to make your own calling cards for shape names
  •  
    Sticky Note: You would be able to use this as a great math review game for ELL math vocabulary

      K.OA.1 "Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings2, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations." K.OA.2 "Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within (e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem)." 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).K.OA.4 For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record the answer with a drawing or equation."

      Great activities for a winter theme unit!
    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      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.

      Allow students to work independently or in small groups.  Provide legos and base plates for student use.  Differentiation may include the chance to design the entire room, or just the toy box.  Students would have an opportunity to visually present, or just set up the model.  
  •  
    I plan to allow the students to design and build their toy boxes to scale.  I would model using legos (and legos could be provided to them for use as well.)  They would have an opportunity to layout the entire bedroom (to scale.)

smdigitcards.pdf (application/pdf Object) - 1 views

  •  
    Identify the digits students will use by handing demo digit cards to selected students (e.g. 3, 5, 8). Students at desks should take these same digits from their card decks. Give directions for students to form a number to meet specific criteria. Students in front rearrange themselves to build a number. Students at desks arrange digit cards to build a number to satisfy the conditions. Build the largest number you can. Build the smallest number you can. Build a number less than 800. Build a number greater than 800. Build a number that is between 300 and 500. Build a different number that is between 300 and 500. Repeat with different digits and different directions. 2.NBT.3 Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Sticky Note: This could be enriched by having students call out directions and do as group table activities as a review game before a test

    • Liz Dilts
       
      4.NBT.5 Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one digit whole number, and multiply two two digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Differentiation: For gifted students, and students of differing levels, the teacher could put out flashcards with multiplication factors 2-12 or create flashcards with even higher number, allowing students to do more challenging multiplication
  •  
    This activity allows students to practice identifying multiplication facts with flashcards without the boring "drill and kill" method.

      To connect this to social studies, have students find pictures of real world castles and report on location and history of the building to base their model off of.
    • Susie Beesley
       
      You could also connect this to the Sir Cumference children's book series that has a Knights of the Roundtable theme.
  •  
    Students draw a castle using 3-dimensional shapes. Option for pictures to be published on the web if sent to the address on this site.

Make a Hummingbird Feeder | Education.com - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      Have students take home feeders and hang them outside homes. Then have them make predictions about activity level and write down observations every evening for a week. Hang a feeder outside of the school and compare results.
  •  
    Make a Hummingbird feeder: A little complicated, so maybe get a couple of parent volunteers to help with this project. Make a literary connection by reading a story about hummingbirds, then discuss how they fit in our ecosystem.

Ancient Techniques of Determining Earth's Size and Shape - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      Students can get excited about using some simple measurement techniques to accomplish something big.  Working in heterogeneous ability groups would help students whose math ability is lower contribute without feeling inadequate.
  •  
    In this activity students use the relationship between the earth and sun and their movements through space to determine the size of the earth.

Nuts and Bolts: A Sorting Activity - 1 views

  • Does Dad’s tool box need to be tidied up? Get your child to help you clean, while sneaking in a little math along the way. Sorting objects by size, color, shape, or function is an important concept in mathematical reasoning, and it’s the perfect excuse for a little housekeeping!
    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      This activity can be used as a language development activity for ELL students. You can ask them to describe the shapes and colors of the nuts and bolts. ELL students can use their visual strengths to excel in sorting activities such as this one.
    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      This would be a great activity for math tubs. Make sure not to include anything that could be sharp or a danger to a 5 or 6 year old student!
