  Extension: This activity connects math to art. Adaptations: The gifted students can identify and 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. The ELL and Special Ed students can work in pairs or small groups to measure and identify angles, lines, shapes, and write down all of the examples on paper.

  4.NF.1 Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (nxa) (nxb) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Differentiation: For gifted students, the problems on the board can be changed to best suit the child's abilities.

This activity can be adapted to practice basic facts, identifying simple polygons, or finding the meaning of fractions. The game involves rolling a die and landing on a marker. Each player must either solve a problem on the marker or answer a question in a cell to move forward.

  For the more advanced students you could place them in pairs and one of the students would create a shape and their partner would then have to find the volume. Students could also find the area of the sides or the perimeter. This activity could also be used when students do not understand the concept of volume. You could start the activity very slow with simply finding the volume of one cube and then gradually make the volumes more complex.

  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.

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.

  Adaptions: you can adapt this lesson by having ELL and special need students find the flowers and sketch them for their group, then they can assist the group in identifying the habitat and descriptions. (This will help ELL students enhance their vocabulary) Extensions: You can extend this activiy by having students create a venn diagram and identify similarities and differences. Older grades can also extend the activity by researching their plants/flowers more (locations it is found, type of flower, how effecte environment...etc) and creating a poster board that they will present in the class.
