Description
⭐ Bring learning to life with this 1st grade Dinosaur Measurement PBL with practice measuring, comparing, and estimating lengths. Your students have been hired as paleontologists to measure, estimate, and compare the heights of various dinosaurs! This exciting 1st grade math PBL explores comparing, estimating, and modeling the heights of various dinosaurs. Printable and Google Slides formats make it perfect for any classroom. Students explore dinosaur heights using diverse measurement tools and data displays while engaging in activities that further develop their measurement skills.
⭐ This 1st grade math PBL applies CCSS Measurement & Data math standards, including 1.MD.A.1, 1.MD.A.2, 1.MD.C.4, 1.OA.A.1, and 1.OA.A.2 to real-world scenarios by incorporating measurement and dinosaur heights.
Incorporated Skills:
Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.
- 1.MD.A.1 Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.
- 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.
Represent and interpret data
- 1.MD.C.4 Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many are in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.
Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction.
- 1.OA.A.1 Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.1
- 1.OA.A.2 Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Key Features:
✏️ Printable & Digital Format - Printable PDF & Google Slides formats make this resource perfect for any 1st grade classroom. Digital and printable versions are consistent and can be used interchangeably.
✏️ Educational & Engaging - This math PBL will capture the imagination of your students while they practice 1st grade math skills. Students are hired as a paleontologist to study dinosaur measurement. Their job is to go into the field and use data from paleontologists to compare the heights of various dinosaurs.
✏️ Differentiation - Three challenge activities mean that you can challenge your high-performing students while making the resource accessible to your on-level and below-level students.
