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 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 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 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.
