1st Grade - 2nd Grade

Objectives Operations & Algebraic Thinking Making estimates about the number of objects in a group and comparing the estimate to the actual amount Measurement & Data Organizing, representing, and interpreting data with up to three categories; asking and answering questions about the data points Drawing a picture graph and a bar graph to represent a data set with up to four categories; solving simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information from a bar graph Materials Needed Read-aloud math picture book, such as Betcha! by Stuart J. Murphy or Math Curse by Jon Scieszka Small box of candy conversation hearts for each student Graph Your Heart Out worksheet Hearts Graph pencils Introduction Capture students’ interest in estimation, counting and thinking about math by reading aloud Betcha! by Stuart J. Murphy or Math Curse by Jon Scieszka. Ask students, “What is the difference between counting and estimating?” Guide them in understanding that estimating involves making a reasonable guess, and counting is reaching an exact answer. Explain that counting sometimes takes longer than estimating, but both methods can be used to help you figure out answers to math questions.

Our Wonderful Water Cycle

1st Grade - 2nd Grade

Objectives Students will identify and explain the stages of the water cycle. Students will understand evaporation, condensation and precipitation. Materials Needed Slow cooker with lid Water Posterboard or chart paper Marker Water Cycle Spinner Crayons Scissors Metal fasteners Introduction Set up a slow cooker in the front of the room (out of reach of students) and pour water into it. Set the temperature on high and ask students to observe what happens when the water heats up. (They will see steam rising.) Next, place a lid over the top and ask them what they think will happen to the water that is rising. (It will gather together on the lid.) Finally, ask students to predict what will happen to the water droplets on the inside of the lid when you lift the lid off of the pot. (They will drip downward.) Tell students that you have just demonstrated a process called the water cycle.

"How Many Bones Long?" Math Measurement

1st Grade - 2nd Grade

Objectives CCSS Math/Measurement & Data 1.MD.A.1: Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object. 1.MD.A.2: Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps. 2.MD.A.1: Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes. Materials Needed How Big Is a Foot? by Rolf Myller Area Tiles 12-inch ruler Measuring Bones template “How Many Bones Long?” record sheet “Big Fish” file folder game Introduction Read aloud How Big Is a Foot? by Rolf Myller. Point out that in the story, they measured “feet” to find out what size to make the bed for the queen. Explain that there is a difference between the length of one person’s foot and a foot-long standard unit of measurement. Hold up a 12-inch ruler and say, “In standard measurement, a foot is the same as 12 inches. Do you think your foot is longer or shorter than this ruler?” Invite a few students to compare their feet to the ruler so that they can see that the ruler is longer. Explain that unlike a foot in standard measurement, people’s feet are different sizes. This is why the king had trouble getting a bed that was the correct size for the queen. Finally, tell students that they are going to practice measuring things using nonstandard units of measurement.

Pronoun Practice

1st Grade - 2nd Grade

Use personal, possessive and indefinite pronouns (e.g., I, me, my, they, them, their, anyone, everything). Materials Needed: pronoun cards, board, flip chart or document camera; The Fire Cat by Esther Averill; Pronoun Search practice page; pencils or highlighters; index cards. Introduction: Display the pronoun cards on a board or document camera. Tell students that you are going to read aloud The Fire Cat by Esther Averill. Before you read, ask students to help you identify different pronouns as they come up in the story. Explain that the names of the characters are proper nouns (e.g., Pickles and Mrs. Goodkind), but the author often refers to them again by using pronouns, such as he, she, her or him. The author also may use possessive pronouns, such as hers or his, to explain that something belongs to a character. In addition, Mrs. Goodkind refers to Pickles by using the pronoun you instead of always calling him by name.

What Is Equal?

2nd Grade

Objectives Students will recognize and define the equal sign. Students will demonstrate that both sides of an equation are equal in value. Materials Needed Whiteboard or chart paper Marker “What Is Equal?” work mat Dry beans “Three In a Row” game board “Three In a Row” playing cards “Three In a Row” game markers Introduction Write the following number sentences on the board or on chart paper: 7 + 6 = 13 13 = 13 12 = 2 + 10 5 + 5 = 7 + 3 10 - 2 = 4 + 4 2 + 1 + 3 = 2 + 4 Point to each expression and ask students to put their thumbs up if the equation is true or their thumbs down if the equation is false. Ask students to explain their choices. Students may be surprised to learn that all of the equations are true. Explain that the equal sign does not just mean “this is the answer.” It means that one side of the equation is equal to the other—the value on the right side is the same as the value on the left side.

Mystery Coins

1st Grade - 2nd Grade

Objectives Number & Operations in Base Ten Understanding 10 as a bundle of ten ones Skip-counting by 5s, 10s, and 100s Measurement & Data Solving word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols Materials Needed Plastic coins (or paper coins reproducible and scissors) Coin Values reproducible Mystery Coins reproducible Chart paper Marker Introduction Hold up each coin and review its name and value. You may want to print out and display the Coin Values reproducible for students to use as a reference. Be sure to show students both sides of each coin, and remind them that larger coins do not necessarily have greater values.

Bundles of Beans: A Place Value Lesson

1st Grade - 2nd Grade

Objectives Students will understand place value. Students will explore the relationship between ones, tens, and hundreds. Materials Needed Place value work mat Spinner template Large dried beans (over 100 for each student) Craft Sticks (10 for each student) Glue Paper clips Pencils Introduction On chart paper or a chalkboard, draw a chart with three columns. Label the columns from left to right: hundreds, tens, and ones. Hold up a bean and ask students, “How many beans do I have?” Then write the numeral 1 in the ones column on your chart. Say, “If I add two more beans, how many will I have?” Write the numeral 3 beneath the 1 in the ones column. Explain, “When we have a number that is less than 10, we can show it by writing it in the ones column.” Then ask, “But what if I have 14 beans? Each of these columns can only hold one numeral. So how can I show 14 on my chart?” Write a 1 in the tens column and a 4 in the ones column. Reinforce the concept by pointing to each numeral and saying, “This means I have one ten and four ones—14.”

Rolling for Number Sense: Even and Odd Numbers

1st Grade - 2nd Grade

Objectives Students will classify numbers as even or odd. Students will recognize that even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 and odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. Students will add numbers with sums up to 12. Materials Needed Dice Manipulatives Paper and pencils “An Odd Valentine” reproducible Red and blue crayons (one of each for each student) Introduction Introduce the concept of odd and even numbers. Tell students that even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. Odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. To help students understand the concept, explain that an even number of objects can be divided equally between two people. Say to students, “If there are four cookies on a plate, two friends can divide them equally—each child can have two cookies. Four is an even number! But if there are three cookies on the plate, the two friends cannot divide them equally. Each child can have one cookie, and they would have to break the third cookie in half. Three is not an even number.”
