  • an easier version of a prediction problem could include tossing a coin and predicting the outcome of numbers of heads and tails
  •  
    This has to do with probability and graphing your results.

      This could easily be used for higher grade levels by changing the problems to harder equations in addition or subtraction, it would still probably only be useful for lower grades.

    K.OA.3 Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1). Sticky Note: This could easily be used for higher grade levels by changing the problems to harder equations in addition or subtraction, it would still probably only be useful for lower grades.

Natural vs. Artificial: Can You Taste the Difference? | Education.com - 2 views

      Extensions: Connect Science & Tech with LA. Adaptations: Gifted students can write about their conclusions about natural vs. artificial sugar.  Which tastes better, and which is better for your health?  ESL and Special Ed students can draw pictures of their conclusions to indicate the same things.

    Natural vs. Artificial: Can You Taste the Difference? You probably know that cane sugar isn't good for you in large doses, but did you know that many artificial sweeteners can't even be processed by your body?  Supplies: Real maple syrup, pancake syrup containing high fructose corn syrup, cane sugar, artificial sweetener such as Splenda or Equal, honey, honey flavoring, fresh orange juice, orange juice from concentrate, paper, and pencil. Set up the experiment by preparing small samples of each food for tasting, arranging them in sets according to type.

    state standard: 2.1.6 This game is another way to make connections with something that they have done and probably enjoy doing. An extension of this activity would be fro the kids to graph their times on a big class graph you could use different sizes of string to see what affect that might have on the swing times.

      To extend this lesson, the graphs made by students could be used to introduce and explore simple probablities.

      Use the students' graphs to introduce and explore basic probablity. The more spins or more student data collected, the closer more statistically true the data should be.
  •  
    Students spin a spinner numerous times, record results, and create a bar graph to show the results.

Algebra All Around: 3 Activities - 1 views

      Can be easily differentiated for each student by minimizing what they must accomplish in their shopping excursion or watching sports. Send each student home with a list of what to look for as they choose their activity and adjust based on child's ability.

    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:
  •  
    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.

Announcing Communities Participating in SSEP Mission 1 to ISS, and NEW Flight Opportuni... - 1 views

      This project would also be excellent for creating a sense of community in the classroom as everyone would be working together toward a common goal (acceptance of their project by NASA_.   ELL differentiation:  I would probably find a different project to accommodate ELL's as this project is very intense, and requires a strong command of language (in order to follow instructions.)  It is possible to create a book of picture instructions for the project or give them a smaller, yet still important role in the class for this particular assignment.

    6.SP.1 This game is a realy good way to connect social studies and math. You could also have them do state capitals as well. Lots of options.

    Interesting activity! It reminds me of a Jeopardy question because it seems like they often ask for names of states that begin with a certain letter.

Make Milk Carton Counting Houses - 1 views

      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.

Building a Rock and Mineral Collection - 1 views

      The number of different properties that the teacher requires the students to observe can greatly affect the difficulty of this assignment.  That offers a great opportunity for differentiation.  This would probably be best as a long activity during a detailed unit.
