      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.

shared by Susan Shonle on 30 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Understanding fractions can be tough! Try using a deck of playing cards to formulate fractions. In this activity, you will randomly deal cards onto a game board, representing three different fractions. Work together to evaluate whether or not those fractions are in order from greatest to least. Use a calculator to help you solve, and come to a better understanding about the value of different fractions.

      Extension: This activity can connect math with art if pictures, or number lines, or graphs are used with this activity to represent the fractions and number order. Adaptations: Manipulatives can be used for this activity. Gifted students can help peers with game. Special Ed  students can draw or graph the fractions if this helps them to better understand concepts.

      Extensions:  Add graphing of fractions or drawing of fractions to help with understanding.  This would connect math with art. Adaptations: Add manipulatives if needed.  Gifted students could help peers in game.  Keep the denominators the same in fractions to help Special Ed students.  ELL students would benefit from pictures or graphing of fractions.

      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.
