  • If it is difficult to do the measuring alone, work with a partner. * Have a partner measure your height and your arm span. If the measurements are equal, you are a square. If they are not equal you are a rectangle!

Reaction Time Science: How Fast Are You? - 1 views

      This activity has a natural connection to a science lesson about how our senses and nerves work to create reactions.  The teacher can require different forms of data analysis based on the students' skill level.  Simple min/max to averages and standard deviation are available.
  •  
    A simple activity that is fun and competitive and can generate a lot of data for data analysis practice.

Make a Geometry Dictionary - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      Adjusting the vocabulary that is required allows a teacher to differentiate this activity.  After completing the dictionary in addition to studying at home students can quiz each other for review in a co-op structure such as "Quiz-Quiz-Trade".
  •  
    A creative way to review the required vocabulary for geometry study.

      This activity could be done with a penny and a dime and the dime always means tens and the penny ones.
    • William Templeton
       
      Low level students can just craft numbers, on level students can order the numbers, high level students can also try reversing all their numbers and then reordering them or add their numbers.
  •  
    A game to practice place value and greater/less than.

Go on a Nature Hunt! - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      This would be a great activity to cross with a science unit.  It might work better in groups because of the number of objects to manage and carry around.
    • William Templeton
       
      Additionally making groups in a mindful way would allow for accommodation for children with exceptional needs.
  •  
    Use comparative words (bigger, smaller, etc.) to complete a treasure hunt in a natural setting.

      Any two-sided object that can rolled like a die is suitable for this activity.
    • William Templeton
       
      You could combined with lesson with a lesson on graphing as well by asking students to record how many times each math sentence occurs and graphing the result.  Since you are essentially flipping coins you should get a nice bell curve.

      when doing this lesson make sure you explain vocabulary for ELL students, for example explain what blueprints are and what an architect is...etc.
  •  
    ok, this particular one is to be done on the computer. However, you could easily make this a project the whole class can do by giving them graph paper, rulers, and certain measurements they have to keep thier apartment in. LOVE this idea!

      MA.1.4 2000 - GeometryStudents identify common geometric shapes, classify them by common attributes, and describe their relative position or their location in space.
  •  
    review basic shape terms that will be especially useful in math later on, when kids move to studying three dimensional shapes and early geometry. Great for Kinesthetic learners
  •  
    Children use this Twister game as a way to learn their shapes. The children design the game board by drawing several different shapes. A spinner is made, and directions are given to the children playing. Each child puts their hand or foot on the space designated to them by the directions.

Kindergarten Lesson on Polar Bear Blubber & Other Cool Facts on Polar Bears - 0 views

    • Lori Jones
       
      This goes with the Blubber worksheet from the other website about Polar Bear Blubber.
  • Activity: Blubber GloveThis teacher assisted activity will help the children to understand how the layer of blubber keeps the polar bear warm. I got this idea from the (Editors of Publications International, Ltd). These are the items you will need: Crisco, 1 cup 2 large zip-lock bags Bucket for ice and water Fill the bowl with ice and water. With one bag filled with the shortening, the child places his hand in the other zip-lock bag, used as a glove. He then slides it into the bag of "blubber". Seal the edges on each side as close to the child's hand as possible. Help the child to swish the shortening evenly around his hand, then dip it into the bucket of ice water. As the child tests the ice water with the other hand, ask to compare how it felt with and without the "blubber glove". Make a chart to record the student's observations, with and without the "blubber". Explain that the polar bear has up to 4 inches of blubber that insulates his body to keep him warm.

      While this game doesn't have word problems itself, the skills used in the game are the same skills needed to solve multi-step word problems.
  • Creativity is the key!
  •  
    A great game for working on operations, mental math, and/or PEMDAS.

      We have a Dr. Seuss unit at Lowell.  The first graders have a parade with homemade floats and everything!  This would be a cute Kindergarten math activity for counting or adding during Seuss time.
