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

Students will collaboratively solve two-step real-world word multiplication and division problems by using a checklist.  Students will also solve a two-step word problem by completing a hands-on group activity. 
 

The students will engage in group activities to solve word problems with and without models as well as writing equations.

To learn the pattern of the side lengths of a 45-45-90 triangle, students complete a gallery walk, a card sort activity starting with using the Pythagorean theorem, and activity to locate if there is an error in a presented problem and if so to identify what the error is.

The lesson will provide a conceptual basis for illustrating the parallelism between solving multi-step equations and translating literal equations into solutions for specified variables.

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

Students will use strategies to break down steps in a word problem, allowing for an understanding of the vocabulary and processes necessary, to apply correct math operations, maintain correct place value, and analyze solution feasibility.

Students will multiply to compare cell phone plans in order to determine the best deal and to connect the standard algorithm to other multiplication strategies and place value in the real world.

Students will gather data based on a game and create the four types of graphs (pictograph, frequency table, bar graph, and dot plot).

Students Working

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

Students will solve one-step multiplication problems using concrete objects, pictorial models, arrays, and equal groups.

Teachers will engage their students in classifying 2-dimensional shapes through a real-world experience. Students will review, design, and use technology as they classify figures using common attributes.

Students will create planters that meet specific perimeter dimensions. The students will need to determine the number of sides and the perimeter for their planter.

Students will utilize manipulatives to create concrete and pictorial strip diagram representations in order to solve multi-step multiplication and division word problems.

This lesson focuses on multi-step word problems involving division along with addition or subtraction. The students chunk word problems into each individual step and learn how to choose a familiar strategy.

Students will learn how to use an input-output table using real-world examples.

Students will construct a dot plot using data collected on the faces of a cube after it is rolled. Students will then use a key to change the data to represent a larger population.
