3.OA.7 "Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers." This activity can be adjusted for ELL students by allowing them more time on the timer. The extra time may allow them enough time to think through their answers without feeling rushed. This can also be used for gifted students in the opposite way. The allotted time can be shorter, which encourages them to give their answers quickly! This activity can be used with younger ages by having the students practice their math facts, rather than their multiplication facts.

Sticky Note: This would be a great beginning activity to describe the 3 states of matter. Also could be manipulated to be turned into a math activity where students = different fraction lengths (12 kids =1 whole...what would 6 kids equal, etc.)

4th graders can create a pattern sequence with a rule or fill in the missing number in the sequence using the IXL online game/patterns: Geometric Growth Sequence

Extension: This activity can connect math with social studies - use fabrics or objects from another culture. Adaptations: Gifted students can help Special Ed students by exploring together in small groups. EL students benefit from direct observation for context of objects.

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!

These activities can be used as sensory counting activities for special needs students.

GRADE 4 40A 4

Grade 4 4OA.4  By balancing students abilities you can differentiate this game.  You could also allow ALL students to earn a Hunting Expert award (instead of having them compete.)

To differentiate pair students with peers who can assist them in their learning. 

4.NF.2  Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Differentiation: For gifted students, change the required amount of pizzas in a row, column, or diagonal.

4.G.2  Classify two-dimesional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size.   Differentiation: For gifted students, the teacher could also have them create of either all complementary or all supplementary angles after the game.
