This social studies activity is to be used as a performance based assessment. Students should have background knowledge of the Ark and Dove journey in relation to the settlement of Maryland and St. Mary's City. It is to be used in conjunction with My Maryland Adventure textbook, level 4. The finished products look wonderful on the bulletin board.

Students will get lots of practice with math skills and writing skills; organization, ideas, spelling, mechanics. This lesson can be modified to be used with various grades. Students use a model text to create their own stories that include mathematical problems.

This activity teaches students how to identify and apply number patterns. Included is Pascal's Triangle and Fibonacci sequence. Grades 3-5.

It is a good addition to Singapore Math. I have an enlarged version (I used the overhead and a piece of tagboard; then laminate) on my white board, and at the end of class, we fill it in and discuss as a class. You could use "number of the day" concept with this (first day of school is 1, second day of
