  • 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.

      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.

Grade 4 4.G.3 Symmetry Geometry Grade K Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3

      4.G.3 "Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry." This activity can be modified for gifted students by challenging them with more cards. Encourage them to use as many cards as they would like while participating in this activity! This activity can be used with younger ages by using objects other than cards. A big picture cut into pieces would help the students visualize symmetry, as it would be more like putting a puzzle together. The leader just gets to choose in what order the puzzle is assembled! Both players could check their work by knowing if the picture looks right.

    A pair of students work together for this symmetry activity. The students sit across from one another, with playing cards dealt for each student. A ruler or other dividing line separates one student's side from the other. One player starts as the leader, and places one of their cards down on the table. The player on the other side of the line follows the leader in an attempt to match the first player's moves perfectly on their side of the divider.

      Extensions: This activity can connect Science to LA using a writing prompt. Adaptations:  Gifted students can write a short essay on how an animal can use a tool to solve a problem.  Teacher would allow time for research (tool-using animals at PBS.org).  ESL & Special Ed students can draw a picture of an animal using a tool to solve a problem.  Teacher would pair up students for the research phase.

    Crow Creativity: 5th Grade / Can you solve a problem as creatively as a crow?  Download PDF 1. Build a tricky tube puzzle to find out if your friends can solve a problem like a crow. A clear plastic tube is best, but a paper towel roll, cut down to about 8 inches, will work too. 2. Make a basket out of tin foil. The basket should be big enough to hold a small cookie. 3. Tear some strips off a roll of duct tape. Lay the roll of tape flat on a table and fit the tube inside the center of the duct tape roll. Then use the duct tape strips to tape the tube in place so that the tube stays upright. Tape along the side. Do not cover the openings of the tube in tape. 4. Put a cookie in your basket and drop the basket into the tube so it goes to the bottom of the tube with the handle facing up. 5. Place about 5 twist ties or a piece of long metal wire next to your tube. 6. Find a friend to solve this problem. Tell your friend that there is a cookie at the bottom of the tube. Your friend can have the cookie but has to get the cookie out of the tube first without lifting up the tube. If you are using a paper towel roll, let your friend look inside the tube to see how it's set up.  Supplies: See Downloadable PDF

    Upper elementary students to middle school students could create a trick tube or similar experiment that a friend or critter (squirrel) has to solve.

      you can adapt this activity in many ways. You could just have children build shapes with the pices or you could give them tangram mats to build specific shapes.

      you can extend this lesson for 5th and 6th grade to help work on reasoning and logical thinking by setting up a 3 circle venn diagram and giving the students cards and the oponent has to guess the puzzle of which shapes belong in which circle based on their attributes.

      2.OA.2 Second grade game that can be utilized in small groups or independently.  Because there is a "challenge", it allows students who work faster to continue to look for new solutions.  This would be a great "I'm already finished!" activity!
