Grade 3 Third grade sound Sound Transit 3.1.1 3.1.2 3.1.3

      This is a creative activity that addresses science and language arts curricula.  Computers/internet access is required.
  • Lori Jones on 19 Feb 12
     
    This activity addresses the third grade Physical Science standards 3.1.1, 3.1.2, and 3.1.3.  It meets the core standard of Observe and describe how sound is produced by vibrations. I like this activity because it allows students to choose where their journey will take them.  Internet access is a requirement.  I do not think this activity would be as dynamic if it were adapted to be just a listening activity.   ELL's could use the internet to "travel" and investigate sound in their native language.  High ability learners could create an atlas to go with their journals.

      4.G.2 "Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles." This activity can be modified for ELL students, gifted students, etc. by using fewer shapes, as well as shapes that are easier to identify. In the other sense, it can be modified to include more shapes that are more difficult to identify. This activity could also be used in other subject areas, such as science. It could be used to identify different classifications of plants and animals. It could also be used in foreign language. The students could read a vocabulary word in the foreign language, and then have to say the correct vocabulary work in English.
  • Ashley Stewart on 30 Jan 12
     
    Children make a game board displaying different shapes they should know (polygon, quadrilateral, parallelogram, etc.). Each child roles the die and moves that number of spaces. If that player can correctly identify the shape in their space, they roll again. The first one to the end and back wins!

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 1.OA.3 math activities Grade 1 Centers Stations

  • 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.
  • Lori Jones on 02 Feb 12
     
    Addition Mission:  Students each have a game mat and take turns choosing two cards.  He/she adds the two cards together, and if he has a matching sum on the game mat, he puts the cards on the mat.  If not, he discards him.

      4.NBT.2 Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form Differentiation: For a younger group of children the recording sheet could be changed to a three digit number so that students could practice learning ones, tens, and hundreds place.
  • Liz Dilts on 06 Feb 12
     
    This is a fun activity in which students must understand place value to the hundred millions.  In this activity students hide their recording sheets and draw a number.  The student who draws a number must announce which place value he or she put that digit.  Then, the other partner must copy that down.  Each partner alternates the plays until they have filled in each place value.  At the end, the teams must see if their numbers match and they will score accordingly. This game forces both partners to be working at all times so not just one person is doing all the work!

    • Mary Jo Mack
      Mary Jo Mack on 12 Feb 12
       
      This is a great science activity that can be used every day during calendar time. This helps the students work on their vocabulary while learning weather terms, as well as incorporating math, using graphs. Providing visuals to describe the weather at the top of the graph is a great way to provide visual connections for ELL students.
  • Mary Jo Mack on 01 Feb 12
     
    Watching the winter snow pile up on a grassy yard is nice, but investigating it is even better! Boost your child's science and observation skills by guiding her through this winter weather-filled project. She'll chart the amount of snow or hours of rain that have fallen at your house this winter using a ruler, measuring tape, or even her hands! This ongoing seasonal graphing activity will even enlist her math skills and organization ability.

  • Mary Jo Mack on 01 Feb 12
     
    In late elementary school, algebra goes from being an underlying element in math work to a main element in class. But algebra is still all around us, from the data in the news to real life situations such as shopping and sports. Here are three activities you can do at home and around town to bring algebra into your daily lives:
  • Brandon Appleton on 08 Feb 12
     
    Probably my favorite of all my activities I put on here...This is discussed in the use of your home but can be use in the classroom and works really well for a fun spin on homework that shows students at a difficult age why math is important and how we use it in everyday life. Also can incorporate many different standards.

      Jessica Buell on 17 Feb 12
       
      Adaptions: This is a great activity for ELL and special need students. Be sure to go over vocabulary and explain what electricity is and use the same terms for the experiements in order not to confuse them. Extensions: You can extend this activity to higher grades by first doing this experiment, then doing another experiment to demonstrate how batteries make electricty (by lighting a lightbulb)
  • Jessica Buell on 12 Feb 12
     
    Core Standard: Provide evidence that heat and electricity are forms of energy. (4.1.1, 4.1.2) Core Standard: Design and assemble electric circuits that provide a means of transferring energy from one form or place to another. (4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.1.5)

      Giving each student a bean plant creates a sense of ownership and responsibility. The students will be able to watch the plant grow from a bean to a plant, watering and measuring it's growth each day. This would be a great activity for partnering- An ELL student could be paired with an English speaking student and they could work together as a team to take care of their plants and record plant growth.

      1.3.3 "Observe and explain that plants and animals have basic needs for growth and survival: plants need to take in water and need light, and animals need to take in water and food and have a way to dispose of waste." This activity can be modified for ELL students by having them strictly draw pictures of their observations, rather than writing words to describe their observations. This can also be adjusted for older grades, by having them grow several different types of flowers, or by using different fertilizers to help the flowers grow. The students can then compare their effects of the different fertilizers on the same flowers.
  • Ashley Stewart on 09 Feb 12
     
    Students can grow narcissus bulbs in the classroom, or at home! The students can then make observations or draw pictures about how the flower looks each day. Draw conclusions once the flowers are fully bloomed about how they grew!

  • 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!
