K
1

K.10A Compare and order two or three concrete objects according to length (longer, shorter than, or the same)
1.7C describe the relationship between the size of the unit and the number of units needed to measure the length of an object.
2.9A Identify concrete models that approximate standard units of length and use them to measure lenght.

Activities:


  • Use a copy of Michael Jordan's hand and have students create their own handprint to measure objects.  Compare measurements.  Which took more? Their hand of Michael's? 
  • Over emphasize that the smaller the unit used to measure, the more units you will need and vice versa
  • Good opportunity for graphing (student hand vs Michael's hand)


Anchor Activities:
  • Use linker cubes (smaller unit) and large paper clips (big unit), to measure their desk, book, or folder. Over emphasize that the smaller the unit used to measure, the more units you will need and vice versa.

K.10A Compare and order two or three concrete objects according to length (longer, shorter than, or the same)
1.7B compare and order two or more concrete objects according to length (from longest to shortest)
2.9A Identify concrete models that approximate standard units of length and use them to measure lenght.
compare two or more concrete objects according to length (longest to shortest)

order two or more concrete objects according to length (longest to shortes)


compare-


order-




Activities:
  • Have students order objects from shortest to longest and longest to shortest.  Suggestions on objects: belt, ruler, shoe, book, pencil, pen, crayon, pointer, straw, spoon, ...
  • Good opportunity for graphing
  • After students measure, have them write the number on a sticky note place the objects in order of length.  Make sure students notice that the smaller number goes with the shorter object and vice versa.
  • Use different length of strings (yarn) and have students measure using linker cubes or paper clips.  Then they write the number of units it took to measure on a sticky note.  After, the students place the numbers and yarn in order from least to greatest or greatest to least.


Anchor Activities:
  • Use linker cubes, paper clips, sides of color tiles to measure the items mentioned above and then place in order from shortest to longest.  The measurement will be the students' proof as to why he/she placed in a particular order.

estimate length using nonstandard units such as paperclips
estimate length using nonstandard units such as sides of color tiles
measure length using nonstandard units such as paper clips
measure length using nonstandard units such as sides of color tiles

Activities:
  • Race student's heel to toe across the room, see who finishes first (The teacher or the student?)
  • Introduce estimation with an "estimation jar".  You can place balls, crayons, erasors, and have students that are demonstrating good behavior (following the rules) estimate.  Then on Friday or every other Friday you will empty the jar and count the object in groups of 10.  Then you order the numbers that the students estimated from least to greates and find out who guessed - estimated the best.


Anchor Activities:
  • Use linker cubes, paper clips, sides of color tiles to measure length of desk, length of book, length of carper, etc.

model—to plan, construct, or fashion according to a model
                 to make conform to a chosen standard

create—to cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve or that is not made by ordinary process



Activities:
  • Model with storyboards first using vocabulary "join and separate"
  • Use class number line to demonstrate that joining two numbers makes a number grow and separating makes the number smaller
  • Kim Sutton cd and digit cards--student listens to the number that is called and touches the number that is 1 more (+1)  later will say "3 plus 1 equals 4"
  • Decomposing numbers to 10
  • Part Part Whole Chart - you could use the animal plates from Wal Mart, use the ears as the part and the face as the whole
