      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.MD.A.2 Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps.

      This activity is great for all learners because it takes an abstract concept like mass (weight) and provides a visual for students to think about, in terms of 1 crayon equals 2 erasers in mass, or 2 crayons equal 1 pencil in length). It provides opportunities for ELL and low English speaking students to work with measurement on terms they are familiar with. It could be extended by switching to standard units of measurement such as inches, centimeters, or grams.

      CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l).1 Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.

    Student practice estimating weight and measurement. Students learn to compare different objects and record their weights based on ratios. For example, I crayon euqals 2 erasers (in terms of weight) or 2 crayons equals 1 colored pencil in terms of length.

      Expansion: As kicked balls could take a lot of time to measure, students could throw bean bags or jump.  For jumping they could work in pairs to measure each other's jumps and then report the data.

    "In first grade, students are developing their graphing skills. They're learning how to record, organize, and show data. Of course, all of that can get a little dry. To spice it up, form your own Olympics committee and host The Games, right in your own backyard! Appoint your child statistician, and collecting data and showing the results on a graph will be serious fun! Let the games begin!"

    In class I will share an AIMS version of some Olympic games for estimating and measuring that use a cotton ball shot put, straw javelin, and paper plate discus to practice these skills.

      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.

      Activity is great to add real world context to ELL and low English speaking students. Provides a real world context for students to start thinking about measurement in. Brings items from the household into the classroom. Extend the activity by introducing the concept of adding two different measurements (1/4 + 3/4) together to make one whole.

      This activity could be adapted for struggling students by giving them less advanced story problems with easier to spot unnecessary information.  More advanced students could be given more detailed story problems.  Struggling students could also be given story problems with some of the unnecessary information already crossed out and some of the valuable information pre-underlined, giving them a head start

      This lesson could be extended in all sorts of directions, depending on what stage the children are in their learning.  For example, you could tie the lesson into other sorts of measurement and have students estimate how much the mitten can stretch. This lesson can be adapted for more accelerated students by allowing them to experiment with different mittens and gloves to see which is the most efficient at holding heat. 2.NS.3=Generate questions and make observations about natural processes. 2.NS.5=Discuss observations with peers and be able to support your conclusion with evidence.

    This is a fun lesson that connects literature to science and allows students to think about temperature in a new way.  The lesson involve measuring the temperature of the room, an empty mitten, and a mitten with a hand in it.  Most children will be surprised to find out that the mitten itself is not warm, but mittens keep your hands warm because they insulate your body temperature.

      MA.1.5.1 2000 Measure the length of objects by repeating a nonstandard unit or a standard unit. MA.1.5.4 2000 Measure and estimate the length of an object to the nearest inch and centimeter. Extension: Students in the upper-level grades can practice measuring and conversion.  The teacher can change the scavenger hunt from finding objects 1 inch or under to finding objects 12 inches or less.  Students can then measure items under 12 inches and convert the measurements to the metric units. Adaptations: ELL students can label the object found in Spanish and English or if they do not know the name of an object in English, ,they can write it in Spanish and use a Spanish/English dictionary to translate.

      MA.2.5.1 2000 Measure and estimate the length to the nearest inch, foot, yard, centimeters, and meters  MA.2.5.2 2000 Describe the relationships among inch, foot, and yard. Describe the relationship between centimeter and meter. Extension:  Before starting this activity, the teacher can teach a mini-lesson about the relationships between the different spaces on the tic-tac-toe board.  The teacher can go over different size objects that represent each of the measurement unit spaces on the board.  The teacher can use this time to teach about the relationship in size of different objects.   Adaptations: pictures of each unit of measurement can be copied onto the board.  For example, for the feet space, a picture of a table being measured in feet could show them that a foot (ft) is taller than a crayon, for example
