Counting Around The House - Math Activity - No Time For Flash Cards - 1 views

    • Mary Miller
       
      K.CC.4 Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
    • Mary Miller
       
      This activity could really be adapted for many different ability levels.  For less advanced children, you could keep it simple and focus on easy to identify elements of the house/classroom, such as doors.  For more advanced children, you could have them count things that would come to a fairly high number, such as books, for example.  This would give them more of a challenge and let them practice counting to higher numbers.  The activity lends itself naturally to ELLs because of it's use of a drawing of a house to signify what is being counted.

      3.MD.1 Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
    • Mary Miller
       
      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.

  • For younger children, you could have one of each number card with 55 snowballs to match the number cards 0-10.
  • For the activity, I would have the child choose two number cards, placing the larger number in the space to the left. Then he or she could count out the correct number of snowflakes to place above the minuend as in the photo.As the child counts out the correct number for the subtrahend, he or she could count out and move that number of snowflakes to the area above the subtrahend. After taking away those snowflakes, the child could then count out the snowflakes left and place the number card with the difference in the last space. Continue creating and solving subtraction equations as long as the child is interested.

    • Caitlin Ridley
       
      Standard: K.CC.4, K.CC.5
    • Caitlin Ridley
       
      Expansion: This game could be expanded to use a pair of dice which are added or subtracted to find the body-part number.  Dice with more than six sides could be used to make higher numbers.  
    • Caitlin Ridley
       
      ENL: This activity teaches body-part vocabulary in addition to counting.

    Monsters can be scary, but drawing your own makes them fun! Play this game and create your own silly monster! Build a Monster is similar to the board game Cooties but with an educational twist. Your child will practice numbers as she counts dots on the dice and applies that number to the drawing. She can play with a parent, a sibling, or a friend. This game will put her creative juices to work as she makes multi-limbed, double-headed colorful monster drawings.

      5.MD.3 Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
    • Mary Miller
       
      5.MD.4 Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.
    • Mary Miller
       
      4.MD.3 Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems.
    • Mary Miller
       
      As a child, I loved making origami, and I think origami lends itself naturally to studying geometry, so I love the idea of turning making origami into a math lesson. 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.

      CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.5 Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2). CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.6 Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction
  •  
    Students roll dice and add, subtract, and multiply. Students will work together as a pair. When the dice are rolled, the first person to shout out the correct answer gets the point.

      If students are having trouble coming up with categories to classify the objects under, the teacher could offer suggestions or lead a group brainstorming activity to help the children think of something.  Like most group activities, I believe this activity naturally incorporates all learners and takes advantage of the group setting in order for students to learn from one another, not just the teacher.
    • Mary Miller
       
      K.MD.3 Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.
    • Mary Miller
       
      K.MD.2 Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of" or "less of" the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.
    • Mary Miller
       
      K.MD.1 Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.

Finding Multiples - 1 views

    • Maria Watson
       
      MA.3.3.5 2000 Create, describe, and extend number patterns using multiplication. Extension: Students can write down the facts that equal the multiple.  For example, using multiples of 2's...students place transparent markers on multiples of 2 and write down the number sentence for each multiple. (2x1=2, 2x2=4, 2x3=6...etc)    Adaption: Students who have trouble recognizing the pattern of multiples can use a manipulative like lima beans to count out each multiple.  The student will view the problem like an addition problem (2+2=4, 2+2+2+6, etc...) eventually they will gain the understanding of the connection between addition, multiplication, and multiples.

      Game could be modified or extended for higher grades by allowing the students to draw four cards each, then arrange them in a way to represent a 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication problem. The player with the highest total gets all four cards.
  •  
    Shuffle deck and place cards in a pile face down. Players take turns taking a card until both players have 4 cards (for double -digit addition) or 6 cards (for triple-digit addition) and arrange them to make a two- or three-digit addition problem. The object is to make the greatest sum. When each player is done arranging their cards, they write their problem down and find their sum. Players exchange papers and check each other's addition

      MA.1.1.2 2000 Count and group objects in ones and tens. Extension: Students can use glued sugar cubes for base 10 and single units to show various numbers given by the teacher during an individual activity.  The teacher gives the students a number to make, and students make the number using the sugar cubes as the teacher checks for understanding.  Adaptations: Students who are struggling to understand 1:1 corespondent in numbers can build their own base 10 out of unifix cubes to see that 10 single unit unifix cubes= 1 base 10 block of cubes.  This will help them understand how many cubes it actually takes to make the number given by the teacher.
