      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 could be made more difficult by adding negative numbers and turning it into an actual plane (x and y axes).  For example, points would be identified as (-3,4) rather than A2

      5.MD.3 Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement. a. A cube with side length 1 unit, called a "unit cube," is said to have "one cubic unit" of volume, and can be used to measure volume. b. A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.

    This activity is really great at reinforcing how to graph on an x and y axis.  It forms the foundations of charting numbers.

      Mary Miller on 01 Feb 13
       
      This game can be adapted for whichever skills a particular student needs extra work on.  For example, you could multiply the cards rather than add if that is what needs worked on, but addition also works really well with the cards.  Students struggling could have half of the cards removed so they are only playing with a few numbers.  Then the rest of the deck could be added in as they advance and grow more confident.

    Use a deck of cards to create a fun addition game for students.

      This activity could be adapted to many themes based on the interests of students in your class.  The point is that they are using geometry for real-world (or in this case, fantasy-pretend-world) applications.  Also, it could be made easier or more complex depending on the age and ability levels of your students.  For example, struggling students could just focus on one aspect, such as wands.  More advanced students could run the whole store.  It really has a lot of room for creative interpretation.

    This activity incorporates Harry Potter theme into learning about math.  The children get to pretend they work for a store on Diagon Alley, and they use their knowledge of geometry to plan a cost-effective sale plan.

      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

      4.OA.3 Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

      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.

      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.
  • Mary Miller on 30 Jan 13
     
    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.

      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.
  • Mary Miller on 30 Jan 13
     
    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.

      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.

  • 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.
