Students create input-output tables to find numerical patterns and relationships in the real world through the process of making lemonade.

Students will compare fractional parts in a real-world situation using play dough as a model for pizza.

As students rotate through engaging learning stations, they utilize concrete objects, pictorial models, mnemonic devices, and strip diagrams to solve real-world, two and three-digit subtraction word problems, with and without regrouping.

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.

Students rotate through four stations, collaboratively utilizing different strategies and manipulatives to analyze, explore, solve, and generate real-world culinary problem situations. 

Students will be able to use concrete and pictorial models to compose and decompose numbers with place value.

Students will work collaboratively to apply and use digits, value, greater than/less than and base 10 knowledge to communicate numbers up to 1200 with a Halloween theme.

Students determine by using fractions which fourth-grade teacher ran the farthest. 

Students will work collaboratively through a fictitious real-world scenario to solve one‐step and multi‐step word problems. The lesson will involve solving addition and subtraction within 1,000 using a variety of strategies based on place value.

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.

Students will be able to understand how to determine the numerical relationship of numbers in a function table.

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.

Teachers will show students a tool to help them understand a problem situation.  The tool called Step into the Problem, will walk students through the steps of comprehending a problem: Read the problem, Turn and Talk, Act it Out, Notice and Wonder, and Reflect. Students will be given a problem situation and will go through the steps to show that they understand the problem situation.

Students will explore frequency tables, dot plots, and stem and leaf plots by creating different representations from a given set of data points.

In learning stations, students prepare for a birthday party by using their knowledge of place value to compose, decompose, and represent numbers using standard, word, and expanded forms.

Students will work in groups and solve one-step word problems using a protocol to guide their thinking.

Students work collaboratively with a variety of different manipulatives to compose and decompose numbers in more than one way.

Students will use division to create a remainder scenario using materials provided.

Students will solve division word problems including problems where they are required to interpret a remainder.

Students will work collaboratively in small groups to create number lines, and then use those number lines to model a real-world situation.
