This classroom tried and tested data and statistics activity helps students to see the benefit of gathering their own quantitative and qualitative data to make real-life choices. We have all wondered - which water container should I buy? Are the expensive water containers really that much better? Students compare 4 water containers quantitatively for how effectively they keep water warm and cold. They also compare them qualitatively, looking at price, durability, design and other subjective measures.

This resource works great as ...

• a task
• a class project (it takes roughly a week)
• distance learning
• math centers
• constructive group work when introducing the topic of data and statistics.

And, Now with the Olympic Games just gone by, you must get these other activities for Data and Stats as well!

Are you looking for a fun way to assess angles, lines, using a protractor to draw angles, and angle relationships? Then look no further! This fun math activity provides students with an opportunity to be an Urban Planner. They will use list of instructions to create their own Seasonal Town (Falling Leaves Town, Winter Wonderland Town, Spring Showers Town and Summer Sun Town). Each project has the same set of instructions but the street names are different to reflect the appropriate seasonal town name. This will allow you to pick a season or even create the four seasons in your classroom.

This project helps students demonstrate their knowledge in the following:

• parallel lines
• perpendicular lines
• transversal lines
• acute angles
• obtuse angles
• scalene triangle
• equilateral triangle
• isosceles triangle
• quadrilaterals
• z, c, and f patterns creating from transversal lines
• relationships between intersecting lines

There is also a rubric included for assessment purposes. I have used this project with my students and they have always enjoyed it and its quick to mark. Bonus! Students will likely need a couple of classes to complete this assessment and I would recommend having them complete a rough copy first to plan out their town.

Enjoy!

Help your students practice decomposing numbers to 10 and writing the corresponding addition number sentences. This is a fun and engaging craft that gives students chances to write turn around facts and finding ways to make numbers to 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 using addition.

Give your students practice writing number sentences to match a picture using these no prep, print and go, cute winter penguins. First, students will practice decomposing numbers to ten by coloring the fish with 2 different colors. Students will then practice the commutative property and writing equations to match pictures by writing the equation that matches their penguin's belly, along with the turn around fact. This file includes 6 different penguin bellies full of either 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 fish. There are also 3 different penguin wings included for differentiation- no guides, line and box guides, or symbols already written.

This is a great project before or after winter break and looks great hanging on a bulletin board or up in the hallway!

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.

Easy way to practice fractions of a set & comparing fractions with students? Use this easy no prep digital activity! Designed for use with Google Slides.

Each student will need a small pack of either a fruity candy or chocolate candy. There are options for both google slides with the traditional colors of each in the paid download.

Students will drag and drop to show their set. They will then review the vocabulary numerator and denominator before creating fractions for each color of candy.

Alternately, you can also have students just create a set of "candies" using colors of their choice, without giving them any actual candy.

Students will also review the rules for comparing fractions with the same denominator. Students will drag and drop inequality symbols to compare the amounts of different colors of candies in their set.

The no prep digital Google Slides activity is embedded as a link that will create a new copy for you in your Google Drive. It can then be shared with students or posted on Google Classroom.

Please note a Google account is needed to access the Google Drive version. Please reach out with any questions!

PLEASE NOTE THIS ACTIVITY IS ONLY DIGITAL. NO STUDENT USE PRINTABLE PDF OPTION IS INCLUDED.

Hello and welcome!

Are you math teacher and have been thrown into teaching a computer science course? Now you have NO IDEA where to start! Have you taught computer science, but want to try something else? Math and computer science are related, but are not the same!

I have your back. I've been teaching math and computer science, including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Structures for almost two decades. I also teach an introduction course. This is part of the course I made up for my intro students. I have a BS in computer science and know what students need to know.

This is part 6 of an introductory Programming in Java course. These lessons are meant to be done over a few days; the idea is to get students doing cool stuff as fast as possible. With Java, that is NOT an easy task.

Topics:

Programming in Java 6: Conditional Logic- if Statements

How to make and use an if

the else statements

the else if statement

nested if and compound logic

pseudocode and logic errors

All lessons will come with the following:

a pdf slideshow

a pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors

an assignment, differentiated with three different levels!

an answer key in pdf form

an answer key in .java form

Depending on your style, you could go over the slides as a group, then let students play around. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them go.

Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error and collaboration.

Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!

This resource would be a fun, engaging way for students to practice using area concepts with basic multiplication to create the best layout for the interior of a leprechaun house. The goal is for students to include the four required pieces (bed, couch, table and two chairs), and to then include as many of the optional extras as possible to create the most magical leprechaun home that they can.

This resource would be a fun activity to do on or near St. Patrick's Day. It could be used as a whole group activity, center work, a time filler, an activity to leave for a substitute, etc.
