      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

  • 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.

      Adaptations for younger children also work for those students who are not working at the same level as the others in their class, but are not necessarily younger.

      Expansion: This could be done both inside and outside.  Students could begin with objects in their desks and discuss their comparisons with their peers, allowing for more communication.

      ENL: ENL students can work with peers who can help them translate and understand description concepts.  Practicing describing vocabulary is useful not just for their math understanding, but for their understanding of English. 
  • Caitlin Ridley on 26 Jan 13
     
    In this simple and social activity, children use size comparison skills to find objects in nature that are bigger, smaller, longer, shorter, taller, wider, and narrower. These concepts are not only important for kindergarten math, they also encourage children to become better scientific observers. So find a space to roam-a sandy beach, a wooded park, or a lakeside shore, all offer ample materials to help your child understand size comparison words.

    We all know that the Moon has different phases, but if you thought these phases had something to do with the shadow of the Earth (like many people think), you'd be wrong. Try this activity to see how the Moon's phases really work:

      This game could benefit those students who are struggling with the concept of adding and taking away from a number and how that changes the value of something. Particularly helpful for ELL students who might lose understanding in the translation. One way to extend this game would be to include positive and negative numbers to demonstrate how negative numbers work.
  • Andrew Todd on 02 Feb 13
     
    Students roll a dice with -3 through +3 marked on the six sides. Students move forward or backward according to the dice. Game is over when student has reached a predetermined ending point.

      Standard: 3.NS.2 Identify fossils and describe how they provide evidence about the plants and animals that lived long ago and the nature of their environment at that time.
    • Andrew Todd
      Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
       
      Extension: Students could create an fossil then research that prehistoric animal. Students could find out when they lived, how common the fossils are, and how they became extinct.
    • Andrew Todd
      Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
       
      Adaptation: Students could work together in groups to make fossils if resources were limited. Students might make their own fossils, but then work in groups for the research component. This way the ELL and lower English speaking students could handle the research part of the activity.
  • Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
     
    Fossils are created when something is preserved over many years resulting in an impression or outline in or on a rock. Some fossils are over a million years old! In this fun activity, kids learn how to make fossils of their own, and get lots measurement and fine motor skills practice along the way.

    I do a similar activity with store bought Play Doh, but these look more authentic and I like the practice with measurement.

      Standards: 2.DP.2 - Day to day and over the seasons, observe, measure, record and recognize patterns and ask questions about features of weather. (2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6) Investigate how the position of the sun and moon and the shape of the moon change in observable patterns. (2.2.7, 2.2.8, 2.2.9)
    • Andrew Todd
      Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
       
      Extension: Students could use this activity as a stepping stone to study the phases of the moon in greater depth. The next step could be to model the changes of the moon as it rotates the earth by using a flashlight as the sun.

      Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
       
      Adaptation: This is a great physical representation to descripe words that may have no meaning to ELL students. Students are more likely to remember the phases because there is food involved and it was studied in a casual setting.
  • Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
     
    Students can learn the phases of the moon as they enjoy a tasty snack. Students open Oreos up and remove ice to make the different phases of the moon.

      Adaptations: Students could write reports on the effects of coal mining and other human practices on the earth and our resources. Students could give presentations on other harmful practices that humans participate in, explaining why, despite the negative effects, we still make these decisions.
  • Andrew Todd on 15 Feb 13
     
    Students will "hunt" for coal by digging chocolate chips out of chocolate chip cookies with tooth picks. Students will not be able to break cookies or take bites to get chocolate out of the cookies. Students will understand the affects that mining has on its environment.
