Math Year Plan 2B

By April Brown Harry Balfour School September Week 1 Task/Outcomes Chrysanthemum Create names, sort by 1 & 2 attributes, measure objects & ourselves with our names, compare names, graph names according to number of letters What is Math? Geometric Solids (Cones, Cubes, Cylinders or The Shape of Things) Sort 2D shapes Sort & name the sort by 1 & 2 attributes Resort again to see if they can find other ways of doing it Trace the sorts to show the attribute Name the 2D shape within the 3D object Cuisenaire Rods Play & explore, establish colors and their symbols Could you sort the rods any other way other than color? Read My Little Sister Ate One Hare Use the rods to show what might be happening? Using this model, have them find some relationships between the rods. (I want them to match the rods together to create the equations, 1 +9, 2+8, etc) Name the relationships (y + y) Mystery Bags Build to 18 using two colors Guess amount in bag, put blocks together, write down their amount, and the equations it makes, pass to anther person, odd/even Start with 10 work towards 18 Share equations, inverse equations, sort equations Sort numbers according to 1 & 2 attributes Return to My Little Sister Ate One Hare Solve problem in story after doing Mystery Bags with equations that make 10 Continuation from end of September Mystery Bags Building bags with differences of 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, from different starting points e.g., 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 or 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 (Are any patterns forming?) Skip counting forwards and backwards Build, name, compare, place value cards, represent with numbers, 10 x 10 grid, number line Sort the numbers Use Literature:

How Many Feet In the Bed? The Foot Book One Is a Snail Ten is A Crab Or any others that might fit Owen Work with squares, cut them apart, trace, build a shape, glue to construction paper, trace Squares (2), cut into triangles, use vocabulary, create different patterns Pick favorite design and create a larger quilt on construction paper Use triangles to pattern with Which rectangle is bigger activity? Art (create a 4 sectioned pattern piece that will be used to create a larger quilt) Mystery Bags continued from week 6 Pocket Problems Count and show how many pockets are in your group, the class Sixteen Runaway Pumpkins Problem with pumpkins Art create pumpkin faces, display and do some math problems with them Chrysanthemum Compare our names with Chrysanthemum, Delphinium Mystery Bags Compare different numbers larger than 20 with & without blocks Still estimating, building, representing with numerals, on grid, or number line Sorting of numbers, equations, inverse operations What strategies are starting to emerge? Kings Commissioner Place value Mystery Bags continued Cuisenaire Rods continue Equality and inequality - Balances What relationships can you find? Complete the blank e.g., y + y = lg + ? Geoblocks and Geometric Shapes 2D shapes & 3D objects Sort by 2 attributes The Greedy Triangle Draw structures from different view points caterpillar, giant, you Trace their rule, if possible Graph the shapes we have Create a cover for your shape Do all the nets look a like? Sort the nets according to 2 attributes How many different looking nets can you create for one 3D shape? Name the characteristics of your shape. Pick different objects to work with each day Match the nets with the 3D shapes.

Construct nets from larger 3D objects in the classroom 365 Penguin Investigation Graphing Patterning Problem Solving What does good problem solving look like, compare samples Months of the year, Days of the week. Final Task Create a box that will hold the penguin and keep it cold Integrated with the hot and cold, liquids, and social units Mouse Counts What patterns can you create? Foot Investigation Build, measure our feet, measure other objects & ourselves with our feet. Graph the different treads on the bottom of our shoes Measure with cubes Danger Tape Investigation Compare the difference and tell how you know it to be? Band-aid Investigation Poem Problem solving Measuring ourselves, objects in room, around ourselves Graphing Looking at the box and seeing the 2D shapes in a 3D object Which band-aids stick better? Packing Problems 10 Little Rubber Ducks Pocket Day Problems Candy Store Investigation Mass Number Equality & Inequality Create a poster deciding how you will be selling your candy.
