      Extensions: Connect Science & Tech with LA. Adaptations: Gifted students can write about their conclusions about natural vs. artificial sugar.  Which tastes better, and which is better for your health?  ESL and Special Ed students can draw pictures of their conclusions to indicate the same things.

    Natural vs. Artificial: Can You Taste the Difference? You probably know that cane sugar isn't good for you in large doses, but did you know that many artificial sweeteners can't even be processed by your body?  Supplies: Real maple syrup, pancake syrup containing high fructose corn syrup, cane sugar, artificial sweetener such as Splenda or Equal, honey, honey flavoring, fresh orange juice, orange juice from concentrate, paper, and pencil. Set up the experiment by preparing small samples of each food for tasting, arranging them in sets according to type.

      This could truly apply to any 2-6 grade class.  I think it should be hands on instead of just the worksheet, and modified the activity in the bookmark.  ELL'swill like the project because it is more hands on.

    Bikini Bottom Experiments I really enjoyed reading these questions, and the activity ideas quickly came to me!   We could discuss how to design effective experiments, conduct experiments similar to the "Flower Power" experiment.  Have students compare the two experiments by determining the results, and keeping logs of the two.  (one experiment done correctly, and one done with the design flaw of SpongeBob's experiment.)   Kids will LOVE this!

      Larger coordinate planes could be used for longer games.  Make sure to have the players compare their two graphs at the end, if they are different someone made a mistake.

    Love this because it takes a subject like graphing algebraic equations and turns it into a fun battleship game. Great for in class partner work. Suggested only for 6th grade, possibly higher level 5th grade math.

    CCS: 5.G.1 Great way to learn the x an y axis coordinate planes. Can also have them make shapes in the coordinate planes instead of straightline battleships.

      This activity could be extended to other grades in a variety of ways. For example, you could use it to teach place value for first grade using money, or teaching how to count change for kingergarten. Also, you could set up a class store and demonstrate positive and negative intergers pretending to "shop" for items in the classroom, this cold be a great 3rd grade activity. You could make a "grocery list" and give them a spending amount and demonstrate - or + integers!

  • 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!

      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.

      I really like the real world concept with this lesson. There might be multicultural considerations (like never seeing or using a coupon), might need to expand on definitions.
  • Adaptations:
  • The lesson can be adapted for by allowing the use of calculators if the idea that the prices are added and subtracted is the only concept that is being emphasized. • Prices and discounts could be pre-determined and filled-in on worksheets.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Multicultural considerations: • In some cultures it may not be acceptable for children to request items while shopping. This is an issue that must be kept in the mind of the teacher while teaching in order to detour any conversation which might offend a student who is not permitted to make requests while in the store. • Some students may come from homes where coupons have never been used. In this case it would be necessary to briefly expand upon the definition of a coupon.

  • 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.

      This game can be differentiated by grouping students (7 cards, six cards, five cards) and they can earn a certificate when they demonstrate they are ready to move up to a new group.  This is a great way to reinforce skills and also assess students' progress.

      For differentiated learning, have sections of students competing.  Some could compete at the seven card level, others at six, and others at five.  As they "pass" each level, they earn a certificate entitling them to compete at the next level.  Great way to improve skills and assess progress!
  • place value game Posted by:Tonda #62793 Not only do my third graders know place value, they beg to play this game. On long strips of paper I made place value charts, making sure the commas were in place and writing the words (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.) under the blank line where a number will be placed. Laminate. With a partner and a deck of cards the children shuffle the deck and then pass out the predetermined number of cards according to how far you want them to learn place value. Hundred thousands would be 6 cards, millions 7 cards, 10 millions 8 cards, etc. Cards are face down in a pile. Face cards equal 1, aces are 0, and everything else what they say. They are trying to make the largest number possible to win (or smallest). Both players turn over a card at the same time and decide where to place it. Once placed it must stay there....
  • Lori Jones on 02 Feb 12
     
    This is a GREAT game idea to reinforce place value.  FANTASTIC!  Kids love games. Easy and inexpensive to make.  You need paper (laminate finished product) and decks of cards.  Can be independent learning, homework, or station time with students.

      This activity can be done in pairs for students who are having difficulty in finding/understanding area and volume. This activity will also help students who need to apply their knowledge to real objects they can easily see instead of ones in a textbook on a flat surface. This activity could connect to science. Students could hypothesize how much area or volume an object has and then determine if they were correct or not. The students could do this for several items and see if they become more accurate.

      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.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 01 Feb 12
     
    Students create pictures using geometric shapes, they then will write down the shapes that they used. This puts puts math together with art.

      This activity can be used by younger grades by decreasing the amount of shapes used. To make the activity harder for students have them draw their own shapes using a ruler, compass, and/or protracter. Students could also find the angle measurements of the shapes. For students who need more help divide the shapes into their own categories so all the students will have to do is paste the shapes onto the page in their seperate categories. Students could also work in groups or pairs.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 01 Feb 12
     
    The purpose of this lesson is to help students mentally organize 19 shape names. The lesson is basically a reinforcing lesson-it should not be taught until after students have had some exposure to most of the shape names mentioned in this lesson.
