🦁 Build a Zoo is a project based learning unit based around building and maintaining a zoo. This resource contains a standards-based unit in both printable PDF and Google Slides versions - so it's the perfect activity to increase engagement and interest in any classroom. Students follow instructions to choose animals, build exhibits (area & perimeter), design animal habitats (research, science, money), organize feeding times (research, science, multiplication, fractions), develop a zoo brochure (writing), and monitor zoo attendance (money and comparison). Additional "challenge activities" engage students and develop further understanding of the concepts and skills.
- Standards Addressed:
- 4.OA.A.3 Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations.
- 4.NBT.A.2 Compare two multi-digit numbers based on the meanings of the digits in each place.
- 4.NBT.B.4 Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
- 4.NBT.B.5 Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number.
- 4.NBT.B.6 Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors.
- 4.NF.A.2 Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators.
- 4.MD.A.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money.
- 4.MD.A.3 Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems.
🧁 Cupcake's Galore is a project based learning unit based all around preparing cupcakes for a bake sale to raise money for new playground equipment. This resource contains a standards-based unit in both printable PDF and Google Slides versions - so it's the activity to increase engagement and interest for the classroom or distance learning. Students follow instructions to plan and and bake various cupcake recipes using the ingredients they have. Additional "challenge activities" engage students and develop further understanding of the concepts and skills.
- Standards Addressed:
- 4.OA.A.2 Multiply and divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparisons.
- 4.OA.A.3 Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the 4 operations, including problems with remainders.
- 4.NBT.B.4 Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
- 4.NBT.B5 Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
- 4.NF.A.1 Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction
- 4.NFA.2 Compare 2 fractions with different numerators and denominators.
- 4.NF.B.4 Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.
- 4.MD.A.1 Know the relative sizes of measurement units within one system.
- 4.MD.A.2 Use the 4 operations to solve word problems, including problems involving single fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as a number line that features a measurement scale.
🧵 Measure Twice, Cut Once is a project based learning task that involves using Measurement and Geometry to solve problems related to quilt making. This resource contains a standards-based unit in both printable PDF and Google Slides versions - so it's the perfect activity to increase engagement and interest in the classroom or distance learning. Students follow instructions on quilt making while measuring lengths, reading clues, counting and drawing lines, dividing into equal square units, and more. Additional "challenge activities" engage students and develop further understanding of the concepts and skills.
- Standards Addressed:
- 4.MD.A.1 Know the relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a 2-column table.
- 4.MD.A.2 Use the 4 operations to solve word problems, including problems involving single fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as a number line that feature a measurement scale.
- 4.MD.A.3 Apply area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems.
- 4.MD.B.4 Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit. Solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of fractions by using information presented in line plots.
- 4.MD.C.5 Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed by 2 rays that share a common endpoint and understand concepts of angle measurement.
- 4.MD.C.6 Measure and sketch angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor.
- 4.MD.C.7 Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.
- 4.GA.1 Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, and perpendicular/parallel lines. Identify these in 2-D figures.
- 4.G.A.2 Classify 2-D figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines or angles. Recognize and identify right angles
- 4.G.A.3 Recognize a line of symmetry for a 2-D figure as a line across the figure, such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify and draw lines of symmetry.
