      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.2

      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.

      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.

    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.

      CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.5 Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2). 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

    Students roll dice and add, subtract, and multiply. Students will work together as a pair. When the dice are rolled, the first person to shout out the correct answer gets the point.

      Game is great for ELL learners because it requires no English proficiency to complete the online tasks. Students can log into the program and begin working immediately, discovering the relationships between different 2-dimensional plane shapes on their own. Activity could be extended by bringing in physical tangram sets for students to complete during down time.

      Bodily Kinesthetic learners benefit from this type of instruction because it utilizes movement and patterns to teach skip counting and multiplication. ELL and low English speaking students get practice counting by pattenrs. The physical mats help students visualize the jumps they are making during skip counting.

      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.
  • Andrew Todd on 02 Feb 13
     
    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

      This activity is great for students who are struggling with the concept of division. The activity is especially helpful for students who need to visualize the statement before properly solving the problem. Again, these visual representations will make it easier for ELL and low performing English students to understand the concepts behind division. It could be extended by having students determine the number sentence from a story problem.

      MA.6.5.7 2000 Construct a cube and rectangular box from two-dimensional patterns and use these patterns to compute the surface area of the objects. MA.6.5.1 2000 Select and apply appropriate standard units and tools to measure length, area, volume, weight, time, temperature, and the size of angles. MA.6.5.2 2000 Extension: After cubes are made, students can decorate them as they please and they will be hung from the ceiling the following day. Before the cubes are hung, the teacher can review lessons on correct units to use when measuring the volume, area, and various shapes on the planes of the cube.    Adaption: Print directions bi-lingually for ELL students and allow students to write the correct units of measure on their cubes to help them remember.

    My sixth graders enjoyed making origami shapes. In addition to the math concepts it helped with reading and following directions. We used to recycle greeting cards to make boxes as well. It can be a little harder to make the folds, but it was a good use of resources.
