Can We Get There?
Students will calculate the rate of change and y-intercept from a real-world problem represented in a graph, a table, and/or an equation. They will then display and present their findings to the class.
Students working in their group
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.
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.
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
Balancing Act
Given a prompt, students will solve a multi-step equation using concrete and/or pictorial models.
Teacher Posing the Task
Demystifying Remainders
This lesson will introduce fourth-grade students to the concept of a remainder and the meaning of a remainder in the context of a word problem.
Breakout with Linear Relationships
Through a collaborative breakout station format, students will access prior knowledge to develop a deeper understanding of the relationships of slope through proportional relationships represented by unit rate and linear non-proportional relationships. A variety of representations will be practiced through scenarios, tables, graphs, and equations.
Let’s Go the Distance!
Students will collaboratively work together to convert measurements with non-standard units, a queen's scepter, within a given non-standard unit system.
Teacher Introducing Lesson
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.
Teacher Introducing Lesson
Running the Race with Equivalent Fractions
Students will relate positions on a relay track to a number line. Through discovery, the students will be able to identify and represent fractions and equivalent fractions on a number line.
Students working in group
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.
Developing Strategies to Multiply by Two-Digit Numbers
Students will use a Three-Act Task structure to collect data, create a frequency table and dot plot, and use the organized information to solve a problem.
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
Avoiding Common Subtraction Errors
Students will perform an error analysis of common subtraction errors related to the standard algorithm.
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.
