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.

    If you have a child who is balking at fractions, a game of Common Denominator War can help! Finding the least common denominator (LCD) of two fractions is one of the basic skills needed to work with fractions. You can find the common denominator of two fractions by finding the smallest number that is a multiple of both of them (lowest common multiple). This activity will give children plenty of practice in figuring out the lowest common multiple of two numbers.

      5.MD.1 Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
    • Mary Miller
       
      Although I really like how this activity involves all aspects of trip planning, it could be adapted for less-advanced students by simply having them measure rather than calculate out travel time.  Students could still come up with the total distance, but travel time could be turned into a group activity that the class and teacher solve together until students become more confident in their abilities.
  •  
    A more advanced activity which uses maps and measurements and incorporates multiplication and calculation of travel time.  This activity is a great application of real-world skills!

      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 (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums
    • Andrew Todd
       
      ELL and low English speaking students would benefit from the discussion present when solving long addition, subtraction, or multiplication problems with a partner.
    • Andrew Todd
       
      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

  • Operation skills with dice
    • Mary Miller
       
      Students who take a longer time to complete the activity could be given a number board with numbers one through ten on it, rather than one through sixteen.  This would save some time and allow slower students to finish at around the same time as the rest of the class.
    • Mary Miller
       
      3.OA.7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
  •  
    This is a fun game that requires students to fill a number chart (1-16) with chips by rolling three dice and using the operations (add/subtract and multiply/divide) the numbers.  They try to fill all the numbers on the chart, but no number can be covered twice, so they have to think about which operations they are going to use on the dice they roll.

      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.
    • Andrew Todd
       
      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.
    • Andrew Todd
       
      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.

    Next time you bake a cake, consider this. The cake dough is not really a cake, but when it's heated in the oven, a chemical reaction occurs and new bonds are formed. How does heat change things? When it comes to heat changing a chemical reaction, there are two types. One is "exothermic," a reaction that produces heat, and the other is "endothermic," a reaction that takes heat in. When you make a cake, you a producing an endothermic chemical reaction which changes batter to baked!
