CCS: 1.OA.3
This game has plenty of manipulatives in it to keep the kids interested. You can make it a little more difficult by using subtraction as well. I am a big fan of games that incorporates some kind of competition. I think causes more concentration.
2.MD.1 Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.
Differentiation:
For gifted students, have them write out the addition sentence for each problem.
In this game the students must roll a dice and add the numbers together, then they must select a material that is that number in length. The first student to reach exactly 100 cm wins.
2.NBT.7 Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value.
Differentiation:
For younger students, use place value cards and base 10 materials. Using these manipulatives have students add and find place value with mats.
This game can be played with addition, multiplication, and division. The game can also be increased in difficulty by adding two or more digit numbers and varying the problems constantly.
The game can be played in pairs or groups. Students who are high achievers can play against eachother to create harder problems and students who struggle can work with eachother to create problems for eachother.
This game can be linked with spelling by playing hangman first with spelling words and then playing this game for math.
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.
5.NBT.7 "Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used."
Many parents use the Sunday paper to look for coupons and cost savings on household items. Instead of doing all the work yourself, why not ask for help from your fifth grader? "Cash for Coupons" is a simple, fun activity which will save you time and reinforce your child's math skills along the way. Plus, it will give your child an opportunity to experience practical application of the math he's learning in the classroom.
This can be a fun project for the students to make their own "house" and "families." Teachers can make a social studies connection by trying to arrange the houses in two rows facing each other. Number the houses on the right with even numbers and the ones on the left with odd … just like the houses on a real-life street.
The picture for this activity looks really cute. I wonder how hard it would be for little ones to draw faces on craft sticks. You'd probably want to put newspaper down on the desks and be prepared to have marker on their hands, but still, it looks like an engaging activity that would be worth a little mess.
Most five-year-olds master counting out loud long before they walk into kindergarten. This is always exciting to watch, but it doesn't mean that kids truly understand what numbers mean. Kindergarten teachers want to make sure that kids can count objects, but also connect groups of things to abstract numbers. This whimsical craft helps kids do just that, and reuses empty milk cartons to boot.
2.NBT.2 "Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s."
This activity can be modified for gifted students by making the pattern more challenging for them. For example, instead of making the pattern of counting by 2s, the teacher could make the pattern counting by 2s, plus 1. This activity could be used for older grades by having the students come up with their own patterns.
Students fill the empty boxes of a hopscotch game by continuing the number patterns given. The teacher can start by filling in the first four boxes, and asking the students to decide which numbers would come after the ones provided.
Adaptions: You can adapt this activity by showing the students what each of the gumdoprs represents then creating a venn diagram demonstrating the sinilarities and differences of rocks and minerals for a visual aid.
Extensions:
It seems pretty in depth, not sure you would need to change it much for older grades, you can add additional activities for them to look deeper into the research.
