      This activity could be adapted so that rather than individual students playing against each other, groups could play the game competitively.  This would take pressure off of those students who are not as fluent in their math facts as others.  It also makes it less stressful for individual students.

      This activity is a great reinforcer for older students who struggle with the concept of greater than and less than, not just kindergarteners and first-graders.  The alligator analogy could really help struggling students to grasp this concept because it serves as a mnemonic device to help them to remember what the sign means.

      This activity lends itself naturally to children who may not grasp the concept very well because it allows them to work in groups.  Heterogeneous grouping for this activity would allow everyone to work together in a fun, non-competitive environment.  The worksheet could be adapted for ELLs by including pictures or changing the wording to simpler words.  I found the wording of the activity sheet to be a little advanced for the age group in general, so ELLs would have particular trouble with it.  Also, it never hurts to read the activity sheet aloud before asking the studnets to fill it out.

This is a really good whole-group activity because it allows everyone to follow along and be interested in what is going on.  It is especially nice for ELLs because by seeing you work on your box simultaneously through the projector, these students are not as restricted by the language barrier.

    The students use card stock to fold origami shapes and make a box, and they will then estimate the volume of the box.  They will test their hypotheses by counting how many marbles, etc. fit in the box after it is complete.  The lesson also incorporates identification of geometric shapes.
