      Grade 4 4OA.4  By balancing students abilities you can differentiate this game.  You could also allow ALL students to earn a Hunting Expert award (instead of having them compete.)
  •  
    Review definition of prime numbers.  Pair students and have them experiment to "hunt" for prime numbers.

      Goes with book I tagged.  This could be a project for one child, or small group.  It could be a class project.  Very versatile.
  •  
    This activity goes with the book "The Greedy Triangle."  It helps students use measurement and creativity to manipulate and see the relationship among different shapes.

Be a Space Explorer with Volume and Area | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This activity can be done in pairs for students who are having difficulty in finding/understanding area and volume. This activity will also help students who need to apply their knowledge to real objects they can easily see instead of ones in a textbook on a flat surface. This activity could connect to science. Students could hypothesize how much area or volume an object has and then determine if they were correct or not. The students could do this for several items and see if they become more accurate.
  •  
    This activity uses everyday objects to find volume and area.

      This activity could be used for home practice (as flash cards) as well as an independent station.  For differentiation, students may utilize a number line if they need help.  It would be easy to make additional cards that incorporate numbers up to and through the one hundreds for students as they attain mastery at various levels.
  •  
    This activity instructs students to fill in the missing numbers.  The items could be cut into flash cards for the student to study at home as well.

      Differentiated curriculum:  Assign teams, and allow each "team" to design a different biome at the zoo.  Students would be grouped by the teacher into teams with different abilities.
  •  
    This appealed to me because I love animals, and have a strong interest in the zoo.  Most children are VERY interested in animals.

      Students could each have a different "job" to differentiate skills.  Teacher could group the students of different abilities together.  Students could wear lab glasses as they measure.
  •  
    This is a terrific activity that can help students with observations and predictions.  It is perfect for cooperative learning.

      Allow students to work independently or in small groups.  Provide legos and base plates for student use.  Differentiation may include the chance to design the entire room, or just the toy box.  Students would have an opportunity to visually present, or just set up the model.  
  •  
    I plan to allow the students to design and build their toy boxes to scale.  I would model using legos (and legos could be provided to them for use as well.)  They would have an opportunity to layout the entire bedroom (to scale.)

      Differentiation:  students will need to have premade graphs for some with pictures (vs. being able to read "flat" or "solid".)  Allow students to graph their findings.

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

      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!

    I love this activity because the kids can record their work in little books. This allows the student to have a record of "progress" which can be inspirational.

      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.

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      To increase the difficulty of this activity you could also use subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students who need extra help could be paired up to help eachother during the activity. This activity would make a good station activity for a small group of students. For ELLs make sure to only include the symbols (+, =, etc.) so they do not have to read equals and add.
  •  
    Here's a hands-on activity that classroom teachers use to help kids get a feel for equations and start building lifelong skills. Popsicle sticks are used to create different addition problems.

Make a Math Monster! | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This game can be played with addition, multiplication, and division. The game can also be increased in difficulty by adding two or more digit numbers and varying the problems constantly. The game can be played in pairs or groups. Students who are high achievers can play against eachother to create harder problems and students who struggle can work with eachother to create problems for eachother. This game can be linked with spelling by playing hangman first with spelling words and then playing this game for math.
  •  
    Guessing game similiar to hangman but with numbers for subtraction.

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

Shapes Activity - 3 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This activity can be used by younger grades by decreasing the amount of shapes used. To make the activity harder for students have them draw their own shapes using a ruler, compass, and/or protracter. Students could also find the angle measurements of the shapes. For students who need more help divide the shapes into their own categories so all the students will have to do is paste the shapes onto the page in their seperate categories. Students could also work in groups or pairs.
  •  
    The purpose of this lesson is to help students mentally organize 19 shape names. The lesson is basically a reinforcing lesson-it should not be taught until after students have had some exposure to most of the shape names mentioned in this lesson.

Find the Math Fact Family | Education.com - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      To differentiate, advanced students can fill in a missing fact from the family. Some fact families could even have multiple answers depending on the use of division or multipication. For ex., 5 and 10 could be 2 or 50.
  •  
    Children decide which number does not belong, in a group of four numbers. The goal is to find the three numbers that belong in the same fact family, and then state a division fact using the numbers in that fact family. 
  •  
    Exploring fact families through a game of "which one does not belong?"
  •  
    These family math facts are helpful and can be used for multiple grade levels including 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I think it will be good for the students to make their own tools for learning. They will be interested in using it more if they made it themselves.
