    state standard: 2.3.1 This activity is a great activity for showing the way and which water is transported in living things. A bit of enrichment in this activity could be to talk about the nutritional aspects of these vegetables that grow from the land.

  • Lori Jones on 19 Feb 12
     
    2.3.1:  Observe closely over a period of time and then record in pictures and words the changes in plants and animals throughout their life cycles - including details of their body plan, structure and timing of growth, reproduction, and death. Modification to activity:  Students will create a journal to log all data from start to finish.  Building the terrarium will occur at the beginning of the project, and notes will be kept as the plants grow.   ELL:  Easily explained through modeling and pictures Higher Ability:  Students could be class photographers and be responsible for uploading photos and printing them for the journals.

Grade 2 2.MD.8 money math

shared by Susan Shonle on 30 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Materials Required: paper, pencials, Book: Alexander, Who USed to be rich last sunday Activity Time: 30 minutes Concepts Taught: expressing money in different ways

      Adaptations: Gifted students can show the sum multiple ways (using different currency) or write the equation for the addition or subtraction problem. EL Students can draw a picture of the currency needed to represent the sum. Other manipulatives can be used with this activity with the amount written in cents or dollars on the manipulatives.

      This activity can be used with other manipulatives that are labeled with the coin amounts. This activity connects math and LA. Adaptations include: require gifted students to show 3-5 ways to represent the sum using different currency or give the equation. EL students can draw a picture to represent the coins used.

      when doing this lesson make sure you explain vocabulary for ELL students, for example explain what blueprints are and what an architect is...etc.
  • Jessica Buell on 28 Jan 12
     
    ok, this particular one is to be done on the computer. However, you could easily make this a project the whole class can do by giving them graph paper, rulers, and certain measurements they have to keep thier apartment in. LOVE this idea!

      K.CC.4 "Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality."

      This activity can be extended as students learn new numbers and become more fluent with counting.
  • Mary Jo Mack on 31 Jan 12
     
    One-to-one correspondence is an important skill that needs to be mastered in kindergarten. In a nutshell, one-to-one correspondence means children are able to count a group of objects, while touching each object, one at a time. (Kind of like that one potato game...) While this concept might seem obvious, it's more advanced than just counting out loud, which is called "rote counting" because it takes things to the next level-- associating spoken numbers with real objects.

      This activity can be adjusted for different ranges of ability. Students who have a good understanding of patterning could pair up with eachother and try to challenge one another into figuring out their patterns. You could also use different manipulatives instead of money, for instance for the students who are less adapt at patterning you may use cubes of different colors and then they could see the pattern easier. For ELL students you could use money from their home country that they may recognize.

  • Geometry has never been so engaging! In this activity, players will practice drawing shapes, measuring, and finding perimeter. The goal is to create as many polygons as possible, and it's trickier than it sounds!
    • Susan Shonle
      Susan Shonle on 30 Jan 12
       
      Extension: This game could include letters (A,B,C) to represent the sides of the polygon, so that the student could put the measurements into an equation. Adaptations: Gifted students could help peers who struggle with finding perimeter or measuring.  ELL students would benefit from the drawing in this activity and use of deck of cards which provide pictures.

  • Lori Jones on 02 Feb 12
     
    This appealed to me because I love animals, and have a strong interest in the zoo.  Most children are VERY interested in animals.

    This activity will give children plenty of practice in figuring out the lowest common multiple of two numbers. This will be practice where they need to think fast and eventaully get to the point where they can memorize what thei LCM of certain numbers are. Can be used in 5th grade and high level 4th.

    In this game students roll a dice and depending on the number they rool they put that many chips in a cup.  At the end of each round the students must count up their chips and winners must put a 20% "winner's tax" back into the cup for the next game.

      This activity can be used by younger grades by decreasing the amount of shapes used. To make the activity harder for students have them draw their own shapes using a ruler, compass, and/or protracter. Students could also find the angle measurements of the shapes. For students who need more help divide the shapes into their own categories so all the students will have to do is paste the shapes onto the page in their seperate categories. Students could also work in groups or pairs.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 01 Feb 12
     
    The purpose of this lesson is to help students mentally organize 19 shape names. The lesson is basically a reinforcing lesson-it should not be taught until after students have had some exposure to most of the shape names mentioned in this lesson.

    Great for children learning/practicing place value. This can be used for other grade levels.Have your child tell you what number is in each place and the value of that number For example, if the number is 75, there is a 7 in the tens place and the value of that number is 7 tens or 70. Keep reading numbers aloud, but each time increase the number of digits.

      This would be something to add to math stations...you could add to the lesson for ELL students by including an activity on listing English vocab words (with pictures) that they would sort to add to each shape.

    Classify objects into given categories (in this case it could be by object or by color); count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.

      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 activity can be modified for ELL students by drawing pictures, rather than writing words, in each category. For older age levels, this activity could include more difficult or complex categories.

      3.MD.2 "Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem." This activity can be modified for ELL students by having them work in pairs or small groups. The ELL students could have the role as "recorder" until they grasp the concept of how estimation works. This activity can be modified for gifted students by having them measure more objects, and then make a graph based on their results. For older ages, this activity could be used to measure objects, and then convert the weight into other units of measurement.
  • Ashley Stewart on 31 Jan 12
     
    Students group 100 small objects into groups of tens and estimate how much each group weighs, in ounces. The students place the bags of objects on the scale and record how much they weigh. Encourage the students to discuss their results and compare their estimations.
