Classact5

Hand-on activity sorting measurement vocabulary words. Students will sort words according to the measurement system (customary or metric) and whether the words are capacity, mass, or linear measurement terms. Students will first sort cards onto mats. Then, as a class, they can check their answers from the Smartboard activity. The Smartboard activity can also be used alone with the whole class, or by pairs of students in a center.

In this SmartBoard activity, each page has a group of fractions scattered randomly around a shape. Students must find the fractions that meet the criteria stated in the shape. After they have studied the page for 1 minute, they touch the fuse of the firecracker. They then touch as many fractions as they can that meet the criteria. If they are correct, a clown appears. Incorrect answers are marked with a "boom". The firecracker will go off in 30 seconds. Criteria listed include: equivalen

Add fractions with like denominators to create improper fractions. Drag fraction pieces to illustrate changing improper fractions to mixed numbers.

Students find the value of place value blocks when different blocks represent one. For example, what would the number be if the 10's rod represented one? The results are decimal numbers.

Students drag and drop an icon of a boy or a girl to tally their favorite sport. They can then create a double bar graph with the information. A page is also given so the class can create one together.

Students drag and drop a Halloween character to indicate their choices of costumes. The data is then used to create a double bar graph.

Students take turns dragging and dropping an X to plot the letters in their names. You can then find the mode, median, range of the letters of their names. You can also identify gaps and clusters.
