Let's Analyze and Compute Fractions!
Students will compare fractions with unlike denominators to determine whether a given answer to a real-world problem is correct using context and computational skills.
Teacher during Introduction
Multiplication Matters: Justifying Mathematical Reasoning in Problem Solving
Students solve one-step and multi-step problems, including multiplication and remainders, by engaging in a real-world story problem, using a graphic organizer of their choice.
When Life Gives You Lemons
Students create input-output tables to find numerical patterns and relationships in the real world through the process of making lemonade.
More Super Duper Math
Students will gather objects to compare quantities and justify their answers pictorially and verbally. They will use their vocabulary posters and accountable talk menus to discuss with their partners.
Who Ran the Farthest?
Students determine by using fractions which fourth-grade teacher ran the farthest.
Frontier Days Heros Solve Division Equations to Unite our Nations
Students will be able to creatively and confidently solve one-and two-step problems involving multiplication and division, including interpreting the remainder. In addition, students will be working collaboratively by using critical thinking and activating prior knowledge to solve math operation skills in a real-world situation.
Are You the Rule?
Students will be able to understand how to determine the numerical relationship of numbers in a function table.
Fraction Pizza PART-y
The students will add and subtract fractions with like denominators using a real-world scenario problem about pizza dough.
Can You Multi-Step?
This lesson is designed to allow students to use strip diagrams, standard algorithms (long division), partial product, partial quotient, or area models to solve multi-step equations.
Centers in Subtraction
Students will participate in multiple centers including a guided math center that reinforces subtraction concepts.
Mathematics Achievement Academy: Formative Assessment and Applying the Content Across the Strands, Grades K–1 Trainer Resource
In this training, participants will explore six components of formative assessment and related implementation considerations, and through hands-on activities focusing on measurement and data, make connections to whole number operations and fraction concepts.
Mathematics Achievement Academy: Formative Assessment and Applying the Content Across the Strands, Grades K-1 Participant Resource
This resource contains the materials and documents previously accessed in the Mathematics Achievement Academy: Formative Assessment and Applying the Content Across the Strands, Grades K-1 training.
Mathematics Achievement Academy: Formative Assessment and Applying the Content Across the Strands, Grade 2 Participant Resource
This resource contains the materials and documents previously accessed in the Mathematics Achievement Academy: Formative Assessment and Applying the Content Across the Strands, Grade 2 training.
Organizing Olympic Outcomes
Students will explore frequency tables, dot plots, and stem and leaf plots by creating different representations from a given set of data points.
Teacher introducing lesson
Comparing and Representing Teen Numbers
The students will choose a cup with manipulatives and build that number using a tool of choice. The students will compare their number with a shoulder partner using math language or comparative language and will write in their math journal using a sentence stem and drawing their justification.
Make a Hit with Decimals
Students will compare and order decimals using baseball batting statistics. Through discovery, students will determine the top six out of eleven players to be recruited for the school’s baseball team, present their findings, and explain reasons for their orderings. From students’ explanation, strategies for ordering decimals will be determined and used to adjust subsequent lessons.
