This web quest is the perfect enrichment activity for students who are learning about standard measurement units as well as time. What's included: A 10 page slide show. The first 5 pages are the actual web quest and the last 5 slides are the different tasks the students need to complete on their quest.

Uses the Common Core ELA standards to address research, informational writing, and using information to guide students in producing a finished product, either written or digital. Use with individuals, small groups or whole class. Differentiate by allowing students to select topics they are interested in, then present to the class. Allow students to make text to self, text to text and text to world connections based on information learned from research. Terrific extension activity for this age le

For those students who you need to extend and deepen their knowledge of a subject, without making them feel like they are doing something completely different from the rest of the students...why not give them this easy to follow research, block template! It's a great supplement to the Cynthia Rylant story, "Mr. Putter and Tabby Fly a Plane." Can be used for independent, partner or cooperative work. Use the student's research to create a Powerpoint presentation for the rest of the class. It offer

This web quest is a great resource for your students to see the real-life side of a mail carrier. Task 1: Use a graphic organizer to sequence what happens to a piece of mail. Task 2: Watch a video about how much mail is delivered every day. Task 3: Watch a video and answer questions about the daily routine of a mail carrier. Students can work on this activity independently or with a partner. If you have never done web quests with your students, you might want to project it on your big screen

Block format for simplified research Research headings directly correlate with the Houghton-Mifflin Social Studies Textbook Allows for independent research, or cooperative learning groups Could easily be used as a template for students to add this information to a Powerpoint presentation Use in conjunction with The Creek research page Wendy Widis; 2nd Grade Teacher; Roswell, GA http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US Cherokee Indian Research for 2nd Grade by Wendy Widis is licensed

Students will enjoy this fast-paced game of equations, designed to be like the word game of Boggle. The strategy is the same…find two, three, four or more numbers in a row that add up to the given number in each given box on the game board. This is a great way for students to review basic math skills while continuing onto other math concepts. It's very easy to differentiate with this activity and is not a lot of work for the teacher. This could easily be used for multiplication and division as

This is a great book to use to introduce students to a different style of non-fiction writing. I use the book as a read-aloud, then have students apply the writing style to the subject matter in math, in this case, the concept of time. Not only does this integrate math and reading, but uses depth of knowledge to have students analyze terms they may have learned about from the unit on measurement, specifically "Time." Included in this activity are the following: 12 pages total 1 - Title Page "Th

This formative assessment is meant to be used to "check-in" with students at the mid-point of the "Understanding Plane and Solid Figures" Unit. You will need to draw the dotted lines on the 3-D figures (if you think your students need them) and shade the fractional parts you would like to assess for your students.
