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

Students will use measurement tools to measure the dimensions of the basketball court and calculate the area of the court.

Students will create and solve equations with variables on one side before comparing the equation with another to determine at what rate they will be equal.

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

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 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. 

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

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.

Students will collaboratively practice identifying and graphing slope and y-intercept.

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.

Students will be able to work collaboratively while baking to find the least common multiples of fractions with unlike denominators and create equivalent fractions, then add or subtract.

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 variable two-step equations and inequalities using a variety of materials while working independently and collaboratively in learning stations.

Students will be able to classify 2D figures by analyzing their attributes.

The students will solve two-step equations through modeling, expressing algebraically, and writing out the steps to their solutions.

Students will visit two different stations and work as a group to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

Students use a pan balance model and manipulatives to identify a total that balances two parts. The use of the pan balance will help to develop the concept of equality. Students will develop the language of equality by reading and identifying the following expressions; balances, is the same as, is equal to, and equal before the symbol for equality is introduced. Students will identify an unknown part in a balance situation. Students will communicate ideas, explain, and justify how they solved problems.

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