This lesson focuses on the concept of expressing time as fractions thus addressing one of the real-life application of fractions. The lesson is designed as an exploratory lesson where students explore the answer to the question - How can we express minutes in an hour as a fractional number? This lesson consists of detailed instructions for an Engagement, Exploration, and Explanation. In the Engagement the teacher first check on students’ prior knowledge and understanding of being able to read a

This lesson was designed for students learning to perform simple multiplication tasks. The Halloween theme enables students to relate to a real-life situation where multiplication is considered to be a necessary skill. The learning objectives for this lesson are: **Demonstrate use of addition of single digit and double-digit numbers **Interpret products of whole numbers **Solve problems involving multiplication This lesson includes - a detailed lesson plan based on the 5E model incorporating an

This is a package of five lessons based on the real world application of fractional numbers. The lessons are based on the application of mathematics in a real-world problem solving. So each lesson begins with a scenario. The main idea for these five lessons is based on a landscaping company hired to landscape areas of a town where students are applying their knowledge of fractional numbers, area, perimeter, decimal numbers, and degrees in a circle The lessons are planned as follows: Lesson 1—st

What do scientists mean when they say they make observations?What exactly do they mean by the term ‘observation’?Are they simply looking at something or is there more to it than meets the eye? The biggest misconception students take on with respect to making observations is that looking at something using just their sense of sight is ‘making observations.’ This package consists of two lessons. In the first lesson students will learn how to use their senses of sight, touch, and smell to colle

This is a bundle of four lessons designed to teach students how to construct picture graphs and bar graphs. The lessons are based on the Common Core State Standards Grade 2 Measurement & Data: Represent and Interpret data. The lesson design uses a Learning Cycle that incorporates a three-phase model to encourage meaningful learning, particularly found to be effective for activities involving data collection and analysis. The theme running through the four lessons is ‘Day at the Beach’ where a

This product is a bundle of three lessons on the application of fractions in a real-world situation, which works nicely as a part of a unit or as an extension or review activity after teaching fractions. It begins with a lesson showing students that cutting a circle in two is not the same ad dividing a circle into two halves. The lesson then extend students' understanding of this concept by a series of problems where students learn to divide circles into fractions. Lesson 2 sets the scenario to

This is a lesson exploring area and perimeter. In this lesson the students use area and perimeter calculations to test a statement. Hence they go through the process of collecting evidence and identifying patterns in the data to come up with a conclusion. The lesson is organized in the 5 E format starting with a very short Engagement. Exploration is finding the answer to the question, Explanation is led first by the students explaining what they had found, and then by the teacher revealing the

This lesson requires students to use their prior knowledge of addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Students are encouraged to use manipulatives to solve problems. The problems are word problems that students have to turn into illustrations or models and then into an equation and finally solve. The problems are set out as a story with a Halloween theme, and the students can work at their own pace to finish the story. Seven Problems included with templates t solve the problems.

This lesson is on multiplication, but it allows students to explore multiplication through modeling. It can be used as an introductory lesson or an extended engagement to a unit on multiplication. The lesson includes ideas for using manipulatives and worksheets that you can print out and use.

This lesson allows students to test out statements to either support or disprove these statements. Prior to his lesson, it is recommended that students have some prior knowledge in calculating area and perimeter of squares and rectangles as students will e exploring the relationship between area and perimeter. The main purpose of this lesson is for students to observe patterns and describe the relationship between the two. They come up with a law and use this law to make predictions. This produ

This is lesson to introduce or to extend students' application of sorting, tabulating, and charting skills. The lesson utilizes the Halloween theme, so you could run this as a timely activity. The learning objectives for this lesson are for students to: **Identify and name two-dimensional shapes **Sort objects by given attributes **Organize data into tables **Represent data using bar charts There are two sets of Pumpkin People given for this activity—Faces and Faces with Legs. Each Pumpkin Pers

This is an exploratory lesson where students explore patterns in addition and subtraction through making models. The models allow students to relate to an abstract concept and see that there are multiple ways of making a number. The lesson includes worksheets and instructions for the teacher.

This is a lesson on addition that can be used as a review lesson or the last lesson in the unit on addition. The lesson is divided into three parts: EngagementExplorationElaborationThe lesson consists of an engagement activity to determine students' comfort levels with representing addition. The exploration part involves students identifying patterns in addition by completing addition tables. The elaboration part involves students determining different ways of using addition to represent one o

This product is designed to provide students with the practice of adding fractional numbers that are equivalent. There are three activities and within each activity there are four problems. Each problem involves shading in sections of the fraction number tablet. Spare printable tablets are also included for you to make up your own problems

In this lesson students will be exploring mixtures of solids. The lesson is designed as a math-science lesson. This means the concept of mixtures is explored through use of and representation of fractional numbers. The equipment list given for the exploration is for students to use to make the problems more tangible. The mathematics involved in this lesson is representing parts of a mixture as fractional numbers. The lesson introduces the term ‘alloy’ as a mixture of metals with other elements

This lesson explores multiplication by representing and solving problems by introducing students to carry out multiplication through grouping. The problems in this case are associated with a day out on the farm, You will need to set the scene and use the PowerPoint slide presentation to guide students through the problems. Students work out the problems on the accompanying workbook.

Well developed skills in measuring are essential for making quantitative observations, and comparing things, and communicating effectively to others. This package is designed to test how effectively students can use the metric system to measure length, volume, and mass. It is not a lesson to teach the metric system, but to assess what students already know about the metric system. The Instructor Notes provide details of how to set up the classroom as stations so students can move through the as

This lesson is about representing numbers, which is an intro to how to multiply. Students find different ways to represent given numbers and what they are doing is grouping and multiplying. This lesson is about representing numbers.
