      This game can be differentiated by grouping students (7 cards, six cards, five cards) and they can earn a certificate when they demonstrate they are ready to move up to a new group.  This is a great way to reinforce skills and also assess students' progress.

      Game can be modified to include rounding to the nearest ten, hundred, etc.

      For differentiated learning, have sections of students competing.  Some could compete at the seven card level, others at six, and others at five.  As they "pass" each level, they earn a certificate entitling them to compete at the next level.  Great way to improve skills and assess progress!
  • place value game Posted by:Tonda #62793 Not only do my third graders know place value, they beg to play this game. On long strips of paper I made place value charts, making sure the commas were in place and writing the words (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.) under the blank line where a number will be placed. Laminate. With a partner and a deck of cards the children shuffle the deck and then pass out the predetermined number of cards according to how far you want them to learn place value. Hundred thousands would be 6 cards, millions 7 cards, 10 millions 8 cards, etc. Cards are face down in a pile. Face cards equal 1, aces are 0, and everything else what they say. They are trying to make the largest number possible to win (or smallest). Both players turn over a card at the same time and decide where to place it. Once placed it must stay there....

    This is a GREAT game idea to reinforce place value.  FANTASTIC!  Kids love games. Easy and inexpensive to make.  You need paper (laminate finished product) and decks of cards.  Can be independent learning, homework, or station time with students.

    Earth Science Activity which includes exploration and exercise. Children will be engaged because they are exploring the outdoors. They will find one object from nature that begins with 1 letter from the alphabet and put these items in a flip book, and write about the items. Great for alphabet skills, earth science skills, and writing skills.

      Adaptions: you can adapt this lesson by having ELL and special need students explore in the dirt and sketch what they find in each layer and what layer they found it in making it into a "Dirt Journal" They will learn a lot just by exploring in the dirt and talking wtih friends about what they find. Extensions: You can extend this activity to older students by creating "dig sites" for each student to dig and identify the different layers. They can futher research types of rocks they find and identify what type of rock it is.

      1.1.1 Use all senses as appropriate to identify the component parts of objects and the materials from which they are made. Differentiation: For students with learning disabilities, coming up with the words to describe what their senses are communicating to them can be very difficult.  Writing down their experience can be even more difficult.  Instead, allow students to draw what they think they are tasting and pictures to represent certain adjectives such as 'sweet'.
  • Liz Dilts on 15 Feb 12
     
    In this activity students must use their senses to decide what they are tasting.  They must plug their nose and see how their senses are connected.

    This is a classic, although I have also seen an onion used where you hold a piece of onion under a blindfolded person's nose and have him/her eat a potato or an apple, and the person thinks he/she is actually eating an onion.

      Great for ESL.  Can easily be adapted for higher ability students as well.  Can also be adapted if no camera or computer is available 
  • Lori Jones on 19 Feb 12
     
    Students will use a camera to investigate and collect data on living and non-living things.  They will compare living things to non-living things, and keep a record of their findings.  (scrapbook). Extension:  Easy to extend for higher ability students by having them write their observations along with the pictures.  (i.e. compare why they categorize something as "living or non-living." ESL:  Easy activity for students with a language barrier as it is a picture driven lesson.  Students will learn through their own observations and the pictures they keep. Adaptation:  Could easily be adapted to be an internet research project or magazine research project (students cut out pictures to keep.)

    This is a great way for students to visualize what components are actually in our blood. It is hard for most kids to understand what they cannot see. If they cannot see the ed blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma, it can be confusing for them. This activity can imulate blood and the studetns can see all of the different componenets.

      you can extend this lesson for 1st or 2nd grade by paring them up into two. They lay the 5 out and one person is the "dealer" and the other person is the "guesser". The guesser gets to ask if the card is higher or lower than 5. After the dealer resonds the guesses must try to guess which number they think the dealer has. If they guess it correclty the dealer keeps the deck, and if they guess it incorrectly the dealer passes the deck on and they switch roles. This is a great activity to reviewing , or =.

  • Lori Jones on 19 Feb 12
     
    This is an excellent lesson that can be modified a number of ways.  I find that it fits well with Science and Technology Standards 2.4.1 and 2.4.2.   2.4.1:  Identify parts of the human body that can be used as tools. 2.4.2:  Identify technologies developed by humans to meet human needs.  Investigate the limitations of technologies and how they have improved quality of life. Students could identify how teeth can be considered a tool.  They could discuss the toothbrush (and its evolution to items like Sonicare.)  The experiments will help them understand the limitations of the toothbrush, and how their choices affect their teeth.

      This game could be used in younger grades (K and 1st) by having the students use a regular deck of cards and finding four numbers of the same kind instead of equivalent numbers. Higher advanced students could use a deck of cards with harder fractions and percentages. They could also create their own decks of cards to play with. Lower ability students could use decks of cards were they have to find two fractions and/or two percentages instead of four different equivalent numbers.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 01 Feb 12
     
    In this version of the classic card game, students gain a solid understanding of basic equivalents, while having so much fun they may not realize it's a math review.

      4.G.2 "Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles." This activity can be modified for ELL students, gifted students, etc. by using fewer shapes, as well as shapes that are easier to identify. In the other sense, it can be modified to include more shapes that are more difficult to identify. This activity could also be used in other subject areas, such as science. It could be used to identify different classifications of plants and animals. It could also be used in foreign language. The students could read a vocabulary word in the foreign language, and then have to say the correct vocabulary work in English.
  • Ashley Stewart on 30 Jan 12
     
    Children make a game board displaying different shapes they should know (polygon, quadrilateral, parallelogram, etc.). Each child roles the die and moves that number of spaces. If that player can correctly identify the shape in their space, they roll again. The first one to the end and back wins!

This activity can be modified for ELL students by having them draw a picture of the shapes they see in their food, rather than writing the word on the graph. The gifted students can be challenged by having them give examples of other things they see in their every day lives that are shapes, not just food. This activity can be used for the older ages by having them identify different angles or more complex shapes, such as parallelograms.
