3x3 Magic Square | Dr Mike's Math Games for Kids | Free Cool Math Games! - 1 views

    • Susan Shonle
       
      Extensions: This connects addition with symmetry, but you could also connect this to social studies using Albrecht Durer, the artist, who used a 4x4 magic square in one of his drawings. Adaptations: This activity can be adjusted to multiple grade levels using printable worksheets or creating your own version.  Pictures can be included or dots to show a visual aid for ELL or Special Ed students.

Take a Scavenger Hunt for Shapes! - 1 views

  •  
    We live in a world of shapes. That window in the living room is also a square, that steaming bowl of chili is a circle, and the bed your son regularly refuses to sleep in at night is a rectangle. Learning to identify and categorize different geometric shapes is a big goal for early learners

Fold for Fractions! | Education.com - 1 views

  •  
    Perfect for showing graphically what fractions are. Can be used for other grade levels. Different objects can be used with this activity. Instead of just coloring paper squares, you could used a piece of pizza worksheet or a cake worksheet.

Measurement - 1 views

  • If it is difficult to do the measuring alone, work with a partner. * Have a partner measure your height and your arm span. If the measurements are equal, you are a square. If they are not equal you are a rectangle!

      2.OA.2 Second grade game that can be utilized in small groups or independently.  Because there is a "challenge", it allows students who work faster to continue to look for new solutions.  This would be a great "I'm already finished!" activity!

      5.4.2 "Investigate the purpose of prototypes and models when designing a solution to a problem and how limitations in cost and design features might affect their construction." This activity can be modified for gifted students by having them make predictions or recommendations about the types of materials that could be added to the boats to improve their design and function. The activity could be modified for younger grades by having them design only two boats and decide which one is better. This would be ideal, because younger students may take more time to build and design their boats.

      This has some interesting variations to our pennies in the boat activity. I like the math connection with the bidding slip and making sure they save their boats for later comparisons.
  •  
    Students design and build four boats from squares of aluminum foil. Each team decides which one of their four boats holds the highest number of dice. Each team should record their findings and observations, as well as ways to improve their designs.
