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.

      1 OA.3  This is a fun game that reinforces addition skills.  It would be a great family game or station/center game.

      Differentiated curriculum:  Assign teams, and allow each "team" to design a different biome at the zoo.  Students would be grouped by the teacher into teams with different abilities.
  •  
    This appealed to me because I love animals, and have a strong interest in the zoo.  Most children are VERY interested in animals.

      Fun activity for fourth grade!  Kids love to think of real life solutions.  Who knows?  Maybe they COULD design a real garden for the school!  Advanced students could ponder the logistics of HOW to actually make this happen and students needing additional assistance could work in small groups or with the teacher.

Estimating Spirals | Scholastic.com - 1 views

    • Susan Shonle
       
      Extensions: This math activity could be connected with art if the students used this shape to create a design and decorate image with color and texture. Adaptations: ELL & Special Ed students can benefit from small group instruction with this activity - help from peers for measuring.  The art aspect would help to engage learners with learning math concepts from nature by showing examples of spiral in shells, or other objects in nature.

      This game could be used for younger children with addition or subtraction. Students could design their own "fields" to be used when playing the game. If the students are playing any form of baseball in gym they could come and do this activity afterward to connect gym and math.

    • Krista Hirr
       
      I found this through the website, braincake.com. It's for girls interested in math and science. It's worth checking out. Lots of fun resources and designed for girls only.

      To extend this activity, have write in a science journal what they think their carbon footprint would look like, then take the quiz and write a reflection of what they found out. Brainstrom with the class possible solutions and have them make changes at home and at school and report what they have done to change after a few months.

Friendly Physics: Make a Water Wheel | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      Students can design a water wheel in groups and see how the wheel works. To extend this experiment students could then work together to make improvements to their wheel. This activity could also be connected to social studies. Students could see how water wheels have evolved over the years and what their uses were and are.
  •  
    Students can build a water wheel and see the force of water in motion. They can also experiment with different forces and see how they affect the water wheel.

    • Susan Shonle
       
      Extensions:  This activity connects Earth Science with Technology/Engineering. Adaptations: Gifted students can make their own unique weathervane and predict which direction the wind is blowing.  They could also create a weekly forecast report which includes wind direction.  ESL students and Special Ed students would work in small groups or teams and could draw diagrams to indicate wind direction.
  •  
    Forecast the Weather with a Weathervane - 4th Grade Learn about Earth Science as well as meteorology through making your own unique weathervane! Supplies: Old business card, 1 straw, ruler, scissors, clear tape, pencil, stickpin, 1 liter plastic bottle, sand, compass, black permanent marker.

Mouse Trap Cars Construction Tips and Ideas - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      Have students research idea and make plans for thier cars before they begin production. They will be testing a hypothesis as opposed to just using the trial and error process.
  •  
    Favorite project growing up! Insturctions and ideas for mouse trap car models. Have students design on own, then come up with a "team" plan through cooperative learning.

      Extensions:  Science & Music are connected in this activity. Adaptations: Gifted students can make a rubber band instrument that plays a scale or tune.  ESL & Special Ed students can draw a picture of the instrument they would like to create or help make the instrument.  (Small groups will work on this project together)

    Sensational Sounds Projects: Sound Sandwich - 6th Grade All sound starts with vibration, and that vibration can come from just about anything. In this activity, your breath will cause two rubber bands to vibrate. Then, you will see if you can change the pitch, or how high or low we hear a sound.  Supplies:  Download the PDF
  •  
    There are multiple activities on this site that would be beneficial. I don't see a 6.3.22 standard in the 2010 standards. Is this a typo? There are several third grade standards that deal with sound.

Make a Hovercraft! - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      Increase the critical thinking skills needed for this activity and connect it to ELA standards by requiring students to write why a hovercraft would or would not be an effective form of mass transportation based on their design experiences.
  •  
    After learning a little about friction students can try this building activity to learn how to get around friction.
