    • Liz Dilts
       
      4.NF.2  Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Differentiation: For gifted students, change the required amount of pizzas in a row, column, or diagonal.
  •

"The Place Is Right!" - 0 views

      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.
  •  
    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!

      4.NBT.4 Fluently add or subtract multi-digit whole numbers using standard algorithm Differentiation: For ELL students I would model the game for them, allowing them to help me show the class instead of relying on written directions to tell them how to play.
  •  
    In this activity students will practice adding two-, three-, and four-digit numbers.  Player's take turns adding numbers that they land on after rolling a dice.  Each player will also take turns checking his or her partner's answers on a calculator.

      Have students graph their measurements on a large collective classroom visual and make connections to the different objects. They could then remeasure the objects with either a different non-standard tool or a ruler and see if the same connections can be made. ie: The pencil is always twice as much as the crayon.

      For students who understand the concpet easily you can intorduce multiplication and division in the problems. For these students you could even have them create their own problems. For students who are farther behind you could make the game easier by using smaller numbers or put students into groups to work together. For ELLs write the actual symbol (+, -) instead of writing add and subtract.
  •  
    An algebra game that helps students become familiar with using letters in algebraic expressions.

Practice Shapes With Bubble Wands | Education.com - 2 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      Students who are more advanced can write down the name of the shape they made. When blowing bubbles the students could also count how many bubbles they were able to make with each shape and write that number down. ELL students could practice just making the shapes with pipe cleaners. Students who are farther behind could work with other students in creating different shapes, but after that they could blow their own bubbles outside. The students could also skip the bubble blowing and just create shapes with pipe cleaners and glue these on paper to create a pipe cleaner shape display. Older students could also do this activity with more advanced shapes.
  •  
    Fun activity to practice making shapes with pipe cleaners and then using them to blow bubbles.

Estimating Spirals | Scholastic.com - 1 views

    • Susan Shonle
       
      Extensions: This math activity could be connected with art if the students used this shape to create a design and decorate image with color and texture. Adaptations: ELL & Special Ed students can benefit from small group instruction with this activity - help from peers for measuring.  The art aspect would help to engage learners with learning math concepts from nature by showing examples of spiral in shells, or other objects in nature.

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      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.
  •

      1.MD.4 "Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another." 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.
  •  
    Children classify and sort objects found outdoors into a chart/graph on the sidewalk. This chart or graph can be written with sidewalk chalk. The categories can be predetermined by the teacher, or the students can come up with the categories.

Bowling for Addition | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      1. OA. 2 "Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem." This activity can be modified for gifted students by having them use more "pins" to add up. In the same way, the activity can be modified for ELL students by giving them fewer "pins" to add up. The activity can be used for older ages by having them multiply the numbers together.
  •  
    Children use empty water bottles to "bowl" and practice their addition. Each bottle has a number written on it, and children add up the numbers on the bottles that are knocked over with each roll. The person with the most points wins!

Dividing by Fractions ... with Graham Crackers! | Education.com - 2 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      Students can work in pairs to help understand the concept. For students who are farther behind or are ELLs the teacher could model the activity with the students so they would be able to follow along easily. For the students who are more advanced you could ask them to figure out the fractions on their own or try doing harder division with two fractions instead of just one fraction and a whole number.
  •  
    This activity helps show students how to divide whole numbers by fractions using graham crackers.

The Amazing Returning Rod | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      Students who need help constructing the rod can work in pairs to complete it or the teacher can have a few already made for those students. ELL students can work with a native English speaker when constructing the item to make sure they understand the instructions. Students who have a good understanding of energy could write a paper about what they see and why it happens.
  •  
    In this activity, a metal rod can be made to roll back to you automatically when pushed away. This activity deals with stored energy. The students can construct their own metal rods.

      Be sure to separate kids based into mixed ability groups or pairs because their could be a lot of directions for low-ability students. Plus mixing them up by ability can really help students learn from one another. 
  •  
    Wonderful activity for showing students how soil erodes, watch out it might be messy.
