My Dream Room
Students will design their dream room, transfer their representation onto a poster, and determine the area of each piece of furniture.
Teacher doing Introduction
Telling Time to the Minute
The lesson requires students to match times to the nearest five-minute interval using an analog clock, digital clock, and time written in words. Students will sing a song, show and write the time to the nearest minute, and tell time using analog watches.
Camping with Fractions
Students will create equivalent fractions using measuring cups to make a trail mix and use the fractions to find the total amount of different ingredients.
Teacher during Introduction
Messy Box Madness
Students will have the freedom to measure different items with nonstandard units. This will allow them to practice measuring with the same units, as well as estimating with the most efficient tool.
Modeling and Solving Inequalities Using Multiplication and Division
Students will work collaboratively to model and solve inequalities of real-life situations.
Teacher giving instructions
Explain Your Thinking!
Students will use numberless and numbered logic problems as well as a rubric to practice self-reflection and justify their thinking.
Shop 'til You Drop
Students will identify the value of coins and determine the total value of a group of coins to select items to purchase from a given list.
Students working in group
Hopping into Real-World Ratios
Students will listen to a book read aloud called If You Hopped Like a Frog that introduces students to proportions. Students will then create word problems for the different animals and their proportions in the story.
Solving Multi-Step Word Problems with Rational Numbers
Students will apply strategies and the use of an analysis tool to break down steps in a word problem to understand the vocabulary and processes necessary to apply correct math operations and analyze solution feasibility.
Composing and Decomposing 3- and 4-Digit Numbers
Using hands-on and interactive activities, students will use concrete and abstract models to compose, decompose, solve, and justify solutions to problems involving three- and four-digit numbers.
Ravaged Robot
Students will learn the concept of area by building a robot using manipulatives and transferring the representation onto grid paper. Then, students will determine the area of each designated body part on their think sheet.
Students working on the project
Fraction Division is Sweet
In learning stations, students use concrete objects, pictorial models, and digital models to represent and divide whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers.
Shapin’ Up Our Conversation!
In this lesson, students will classify and sort two-dimensional shapes based on given attributes using mathematical language in more than one way. They will view their peers’ sorting of shapes based on attributes and provide feedback to peers.
Mi Queso Es Su Queso
Students will work collaboratively and individually to apply their knowledge of place value and base 10 blocks to solve the traditional algorithm.
