Elementary School Gifted and Talented Independent Work Packet

Pump up and motivate your strong math students with this engaging, hands-on project-based learning which will have them discovering the history of constellations, measuring constellations, working on challenging math problems and creating their own constellations.

Do you teach a math enrichment class, or do you have students in your grades 5 and 6 classrooms who are on enrichment programs? Particularly when it comes to multi-levelled classrooms, the focus tends to be on the students with academic struggles, but our strong students need opportunities to push themselves and to stay engaged.

In this document, you'll discover 32 pages of activities, projects, research and artistic activities in line with geometry and angles which will have your students keeping busy while your grade-level and below-grade level students can have you in other ways.

You'll find:

- 60 Constellation cards and a guide on how to use them.

- A second set of 60 constellation cards with "lettered" corners (i.e. ∠ABC).

- A set of response pages to measure all corners in the 60 given constellations.

- A reading comprehension piece on the history of constellations and astronomy.

- 2 pages of questions and an answer key for the reading comprehension piece.

- "Les symboles du Zodiac" - An activity sheet on naming the different constellations of the zodiac.

- A research project on a constellation:

• success criteria + detailed explanation of components;
• worksheets for research information.

- "Des calculs célestes" - 3 pages of challenging word problems with an answer key.

- "Crée ta propre constellation" - A following directions activity on creating constellations with specific angles and shapes within them.

- "Crée ta propre constellation" - An activity on creating a unique constellation.

- "Art de constellation" - An art project suitable for your enriched students and your entire group as a final activity.

This is the first of (hopefully) many enrichment projects for math. Stay tuned!

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun.

Kaitlyn.
