partitioning shapes into fractions
Predicting heights of mutliple grades. Measuring ourselves, Kindergarteners and 5th graders to compare data on a line plot. Analyzing what this data tells us.
We review time to the hour, half hour, 15 min and 5 min together and in our workbooks. We play games with real clocks and calculate adding minutes.
We study, interpret and create our own graphs based on our interests.
June - Predicting heights of mutliple grades. Measuring ourselves, Kindergarteners and 5th graders to compare data on a line plot. Analyzing what this data tells us.
One month we examine the amount of red in flags of various countries around the world as an intro to fractions. We also learn about each country and connect to geography during math. Students love it!
2D shapes are named, described, sorted and organized by lines of symmetry
3D shapes are described and sorted by their attributes
Graphing interpretation and number sentences with different parts to solve for
Practicing subtraction and 2 Step word problems
