Play Pennies, Dimes, Dollar! | Education.com - 1 views

  • counting
  • This game allows kids to explore three primary math concepts in one: by moving pennies into the tens column, your child enacts the idea of “place value”—“ones,” “tens,” “hundreds,” and so on. By counting up to $1.00, your child practices moving around on the number line…

      Extensions: This activity can connect math with art (using pictures of currency)  This activity also incorporates a real world skill - counting money. Adaptations: Gifted student can use other coins not mentioned to reach goal of $1.00.  ESL students can draw pictures of currency to understand value of money used and use chart to understand place value.  Special Ed students can have more time to count and be paired with another peer.

Survey Says... - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      This lesson offers a great chance to work with a writing lesson.  Students can learn how the wording of their questions might affect the answers they receive.  This could then spawn another lesson in critical thinking about how real surveys done by groups might be biased to their preconceived ideas.  Working in groups would allow students of various ability levels and learning styles to all contribute to the group.

Math Activities Addition Mission - 1 views

  • Addition Mission         Game mats               Number cards This game is designed to practice addition skills. Children should be somewhat familiar with addition before playing. Print one set of game mats (enough for 6 players) and one set of number cards (pages 2-5 ONLY). Then reinsert the number card pages into your printer so that you can print Buzz Light Year (page 1 ONLY) on the back (or use your printers double-sided feature if it has one). Cut apart number cards. Laminate the game mats or place inside plastic protectors. To play, children take turns choosing 2 Buzz cards. The child adds the numbers together and if he has the matching sum on his game mat, he places the cards on the mat. If not, he discards them. Play continues until one player fills his game mat. This player wins.

Practice Shapes With Bubble Wands | Education.com - 2 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      Students who are more advanced can write down the name of the shape they made. When blowing bubbles the students could also count how many bubbles they were able to make with each shape and write that number down. ELL students could practice just making the shapes with pipe cleaners. Students who are farther behind could work with other students in creating different shapes, but after that they could blow their own bubbles outside. The students could also skip the bubble blowing and just create shapes with pipe cleaners and glue these on paper to create a pipe cleaner shape display. Older students could also do this activity with more advanced shapes.

    Fun activity to practice making shapes with pipe cleaners and then using them to blow bubbles.

Put the "Fun" Back in Math Fundamentals! | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This game can be used with more advanced or older students by using two digit numbers instead of only one digit numbers. The pair could also compete against eachother with just paper and pencil instead of someone having a calculator. Problems could be made easier for students who need extra help, by having only two or three numbers on a card to add together. Instead of having only addition, the note cards could include subtraction, multiplication, and/or division.
  •  
    Students are put into pairs. One of the students has a calculator the other has a pencil and paper. They race to figure out the answer first using either a calculator or pencil and paper.

Make My Day: Addition Style | Education.com - 1 views

  • Addition with 3-digit numbers has never been so fun! This activity uses a deck of cards to create addition problems and figure out sums. Start out playing with your child, and gradually allow him to solve problems more independently. You'll see his confidence with adding improve as he practices in a more engaging way. Soon enough, he'll be racing through the deck to create sums!

      Adaptations: This game can also be a subtraction game for gifted students.  ELL students will learn about science through looking at the pictures on the cards of different species of butterflies.  Special Ed students can play this game in pairs or small groups to help them with addition/subtraction. Extension: Use "The Natural World - playing card collection" to connect math with science. (i.e. butterflies of the world) This deck contains pictures of butterflies with the card numbers.

Make a Bendable Spinal Column Model | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This activity could also be connected to health class when learning about the systems of the body. Students could also create other objects that resemble body parts and their functions. This activity can be connected to langauge arts by having students research and write about the function of the vertebral column.

    This activity allows students to make a bendable spinal column model to see how this functions in the body.
  •  
    Students will think about how the spine works as they construct and build a mock spine. This activity will get them thinking about the deisgn process. They will see how and why the spine bends. This is a great visual tool.

Ready, Aim, Marshmallows! - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      If I were to do this activity I would instead give the students a set of materials that they can use and have groups compete to use the same materials to design the best marshmallow launcher.  Before beginning, talk to students about strategies for solving this type of problem, such as sketching a plan of the design.
    • William Templeton
       
      One final thought, advanced student might enjoy learning about the formulas of projectile motion.
  •  
    This activity is a great starting point for a design contest in the classroom.
