      This activity not only helps students with shape recognition, it also helps improve fine motor skills with practice cutting and arranging the shapes into the mural.
  • Mary Jo Mack on 31 Jan 12
     
    Celebrate the 100th day of school by creating a math-inspired mural! Count shapes all the way up to 100 for each day of school that has gone by this year. Creating a mural is a great way to celebrate this special school milestone while also learning about important art and math concepts. Students will explore geometry, patterns, scale, and symmetry and use creative thinking and problem solving as they immerses themselves in the wonderful world of art and mural making. As he cuts out his shapes, he'll practice counting, shape recognition, and develop those fine motor skills, too!

Grade 4 4.NF.2 fractions evaluate

shared by Susan Shonle on 30 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Understanding fractions can be tough! Try using a deck of playing cards to formulate fractions. In this activity, you will randomly deal cards onto a game board, representing three different fractions. Work together to evaluate whether or not those fractions are in order from greatest to least. Use a calculator to help you solve, and come to a better understanding about the value of different fractions.
    • Susan Shonle
      Susan Shonle on 30 Jan 12
       
      Extension: This activity can connect math with art if pictures, or number lines, or graphs are used with this activity to represent the fractions and number order. Adaptations: Manipulatives can be used for this activity. Gifted students can help peers with game. Special Ed  students can draw or graph the fractions if this helps them to better understand concepts.
    • Susan Shonle
      Susan Shonle on 30 Jan 12
       
      Extensions:  Add graphing of fractions or drawing of fractions to help with understanding.  This would connect math with art. Adaptations: Add manipulatives if needed.  Gifted students could help peers in game.  Keep the denominators the same in fractions to help Special Ed students.  ELL students would benefit from pictures or graphing of fractions.

      Even though this activity is mainly for 3rd and 4th grades it can be changed to work with every grade level K-6. For older grades you could change the activity to include a wider variety of shapes/concepts. For younger students you could use basic shapes and have them create a picture with them without writing the words. This activity could be linked to writing. Students could create a picture with their shapes and then write a story about their picture. You would be connecting langauge arts with math. For ELLs put them with a native English speaker and have the ELL make the picture but have the native English speaker write the words or story for the picture.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 01 Feb 12
     
    Students create pictures using geometric shapes, they then will write down the shapes that they used. This puts puts math together with art.
  • thennessy on 03 Feb 12
     
    CCS:3.G.1 Great for learning the name of shapes. You can also incorporae following directions if you give tem steps to follow in making their creatures. You can also allow the stdents to be the leader in giving out directions to make the creatures.

Children are attracted to the bright colors and shapes of buttons, so they're perfect for teaching your child important concepts like sorting, counting, and patterning. Here are four ways to turn those loose buttons into an easy and positive learning experience.

      By practicing graphing skills, students increase their visual thinking and problem solving skills
  • Coordinate planes? Four quadrants? Ordered pairs? These are terms that make students in the middle grades uneasy. However, with practice, graphing on the coordinate plane can be an enjoyable activity.
    • Susan Shonle
      Susan Shonle on 31 Jan 12
       
      Extension:  If each ordered pair is graphed accurately and each point is connected in the given order, you will have created a five-pointed star!  This makes a connection with math to art (shapes are an element of art). Adaptations: ESL students would see the answer in picture form.  Gifted students could make other graphs with this activity.  Special Ed students could work in pairs.

      This project can have an art component by allowing the students time to draw what the crystals look like. Students can also write or draw a hypothesis about what they will see before the growth begins. Students in older grades can do this experiment and then investigate how the crystals were formed through research and class discussion.

      1.3.4 "Describe how animals' habitats, including plants, meet their needs for food, water, shelter and an environment in which they can live."
    • Mary Jo Mack
      Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
       
      Extension: This is a great way to open up conversation between the students and increase communication skills as they work together to determine what they need in their habitat in order for their living organisms to survive. This could also be a fun language arts cross-curricular activity- students could answer the question "What would your shoebox habitat look like?"
  • Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
     
    First graders love to create stories. Their especially imaginative brains are always coming up with plots and characters for even the simplest of things. This knack for creative story building is something that can help your child in any subject. In first grade, part of your child's science unit will be learning about the characteristics of different habitats. He'll discuss geography, learn about different kinds of environments, and talk about what kinds of animals live where. By creating a shoebox habitat with your child, you will expand on what he is learning in school and allow him to put those budding creative instincts to good use!

      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.

      I like this symmetry lesson, especially the part when students will switch desks and do the other half of their neighbors design. This concept also leads well into Art (butterflies) and literature. This lesson could be for any grade just by changing the object they use for symmetry.

      You need to correlate this activity to a Common Core standard. Thoughtful ideas for adaptations!
  • To give your child further practice measuring, identifying and drawing these key terms, have her draw an array of angles, perpendicular and parallel lines, rectangles and triangles in an artistic design on a large sheet of paper using the proper tools.

Named after French philosopher and physicist René Descartes, this classic science experiment is a great way for kids to see the principle of buoyancy at work. And with such a simple set-up, it's a fun and inexpensive way to dive into physics!
