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.
-
-
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.

-
-
-
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.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.
-
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!

Comparing Fractions to Make One Whole - 1 views

-
CCSS.Math.Content.3.NF.A.3d Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
-
-
-
This activity would be beneficial for ELL students because they could discuss with classmates why the two different parts (represented by the cards) makes one whole. It would give ELL students opportunity to construct own meaning for concepts represented. It could be extended by adding unline denominators, which would require students to simplify or factor to find the answer.
-
-
Students play a card game with fractions. Every card has a fraction on it. The game begins with one card turned over and apart from the pile. Player 1 draws the card that is NOW on top of the pile. If the two cards make one whole, the student takes the pile. If it does not make one whole, place Player 1's card on top of the first card drawn. Player 2 now draws a card to see if it makes 1 whole with Player 1's card.

-
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
One Inch Scavenger Hunt | Fuel the Brain Printables - 1 views

-
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.
