Students will work collaboratively with a partner to discover what is a line of symmetry.

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

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. 

In this lesson, students will learn how to compose a number with base 10 blocks, decompose a ten, and then compose the same number a different way.

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. 
 

Students will participate in multiple centers including a guided math center that reinforces subtraction concepts.

Students will represent fractions in multiple ways, such as pattern blocks, fraction strips, and number lines.

The teacher will introduce Fact Families through literature. Students will create and represent various Fact Families within 10.

Students will work collaboratively to solve six real-world multiplication problems and earn puzzle pieces they can put together to reveal a phone number they can call to escape the classroom.

In this activity, students will consider a real-world scenario requiring them to compare two fractional amounts using a number line. Through the use of the number line and peer collaboration, students will recognize equivalency in the two fractional quantities and effectively communicate their understanding of this concept.

Students will use number bonds to compose and decompose numbers to 10.

Students will make connections between real-world objects and the attributes of two-dimensional shapes.

Using a pet store theme, students will work in groups to solve real-world problems to grasp the concept of multi-step multiplication and division word problems.
 

Students will explore and create picture graphs through collaboration and group work.

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 apply addition strategies as they complete four different station rotations to help understand that the equal sign represents a relationship where the expressions on each side of the equal sign represents the same value.

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.

Students will experiment with choosing tools to measure around a previously created pet habitat in preparation for choosing appropriately sized food bowls. Students will use a graphic organizer to record tools chosen and to explain why those tools were or were not a good choice for continuous measurement.

Students will listen to the story of Humpty Dumpty and share what they know about the nursery rhyme character. Then, they will help solve the math mystery of Humpty Dumpty and determine the number of broken eggs by finding the missing addend.
