R/LA/L:Read One Grain of Rice stopping at various times to ask questions about the number values in increasing amounts of rice.
IN/G: Explain to the students that now we are going to play a game using place value. Pass out one card to each student:
CM/W/IN: Have students discuss with a neighbor a definition for the ones place. After students have a definition, write a decimal on the board and next to it write ones .
There will be 9 numbers for the hundredths digit = blue There will be 9 numbers for the tenths digit = red There will be 9 numbers for the ones digit green.
IN: Each student will have a piece of paper that is divided into columns and rows. The number of columns dictates how far you want the place value lesson to go, 5 rows goes into the tens of thousand, 3 rows into the hundreds. The number of rows dictates the number of games to be played.
IN/MA: Take quart size Ziploc bags and with a permanent magic marker, draw a line down the middle, and number each bag with a different LETTER sticker.
R/IN/W: Read this sentence in the book, "She had received 511 grains of rice, only enough for a handful." Ask the students to write this number on the chalkboard and underline the digit in the tens place. After students show on their whiteboards, turn to their neighbor and discuss a definition for the location of the tens place. Ask students to share their definitions. Write on the board where it is placed. Continue with numbers throughout the book.
Instruct the students with a red 7, a blue 3, and a green 9 to come to the front of the room.
GA/IN: Start by having students in groups of two or three roll three dice. Using the numbers they rolled, have them make as many three digit numbers as they can. Have the students tell the places of the numbers as they write them on the board. You can ask the students if the 5 (for example) is worth more in this number or this number. Add a dice a day until they get to the1 millions place (7 dice).
RV/CM: After reading the story, review the chart that developed throughout the story. Give students additional numbers and ask place value questions but
Instruct them to make the largest number possible with their numbers (teacher acts as the human decimal. (9.73) Explain to the students that we are going to try a few practice problems so we can get the hang of it. CM/GA: Have students turn to their partner and discuss a working definition for the hundredths place. Change this number so
IN/MA:The teacher has a student roll a dice to see which is the first digit that needs to be placed. Once the digit is revealed, the student needs to decide where that digit should be placed. If the goal is to create the highest number into the hundreds and the first digit rolled is a 1, I would hope the student would not place it into the hundreds column but into the ones column instead. MA: Once all the students have written down where that first digit is located then
Put some 10's and 1's (base 10 blocks) into each bag. Students are to move the 10's to the left side and the one's to the right side, keeping the bag closed. They never open these bags. They determine the proper amount and say it to their partner. The partner checks the key on which the letters are written and the proper answer is written. They take turns and check each other.
G/GA/MA: Keep your dice around for the next game, too. Pairs of students each make four columns on a sheet of paper or chalkboard, labeled "thousands" "hundreds" "tens" and "ones". Then they take turns rolling one die. After each roll, both students must place the number in one of their columns. After four rolls, compare the resulting fourdigit numbers. The high (or low) number winner receives one point, and play continues to a predetermined number. If both students get the same number, no points
also ask students to give how much the digit is worth.
there us a 1 in the tenths place. Give students one last example. Change this number so there is 5 in the ones place.
another student rolls the dice for the next number, and so on until all the needed digits have been rolled. When it is completed ask for someone to tell you what the highest possible number could have been, and see how many created that number.
DA: Give early finishers these definitions: placevalue, ones, then, hundreds, place value model, cube, rod, flat. Have students explain or show each other which model stands for which place value.

have divided a whole piece of paper into two equal parts. IN/MA/CM: Instruct the students to color one of the two equal parts. Ask a student to write 1/2 on the board to show that one out of the two equal parts is now shaded. IN: Introduce the vocabulary words numerator and denominator. The numerator is the number of parts shaded and the denominator is the total number of equal parts. (For those students who have difficulty remembering which is the numerator and which is the denominator, try this memory association technique----In a fraction, one number is UP above the line and one is DOWN below the line. Numerator has an "u" in it and so does up; denominator begins with "d" and so does down.) Repeat the same activity with pieces of paper, demonstrating 1/4, 3/4, 1/3, 2/3, 1/8. Each time, a student should write the fraction on the board and identify the numerator and the denominator.
MA/PA: Now have them refold the same paper and then fold it in half once again. Unfold. How many equal parts now? (4) What fraction is shaded (2/4 or 1/2) Since the amount of shading has not changed, this means that 1/2 =2/4.
understanding of how to compare two fractions by doing examples using an individual set of fraction pieces and then drawing the example on a piece of paper. The students will then indicate if the given sets of fractions are greater than, less than or equal to one another.
IN: Tell students that 1/2 and 2/4 are two names for the same amount. Therefore, they are equivalent. Now have students refold the papers and then fold in half a third time. Unfold. What new fraction have they found that is equivalent to 1/2 and 2/4? (4/8) These three fractions name the same amount.
IN: The teacher will model how to rename fractions using the least common multiple to get a common denominator. By using this method, students will realize that some fractions have denominators that are ideally too large to use fraction pieces or drawings for. Using this method, students will also understand the concept of equivalent fractions.
DA: Advanced learners can divide a string into quarters and explain how much they have. Repeat the exercise, inviting them to create different fractions.
PS: The students will compare given fractions using the least common multiple method of comparing fractions. The students will then indicate if the given sets of fractions are greater than, less than or equal to one another.

MT/MA/PS: Give each child a piece of 1/2 inch graph paper, crayons, and about 20 M&M' s. Demonstrate how to make the X and Y axis, to assign number values, and attributes to them. The children sort the M&M's by color, counting each color grouping as well as the total M&M's. Have students arrange the M&M's by color from the most to the least on the graph paper. Direct the students to convert this data into bar graphs. Tell the students to write number sentences and less than/greater than statements about their findings.
MT/R: The teacher will explain that a fraction is a number that names a part of a whole or part of a group. Have students brainstorm ways to remember that in a fraction, the numerator names the part and the denominator names the whole. For example, students can think of the word POND: Par-whOle; Numberator-Denominator.
DA: Students that have difficulty with fine motor skills can use larger, plastic pieces instead of M&M’s.
MT/LA/R/W: Read Eating Fractions by Bruce McMillian. Discuss how the boys in the book share each whole piece of food by dividing it into equal parts. Have students describe the numerator and denominator of each fraction used in the story. Have students write stories about fractions and food. The stories must include at least five fractions with different denominators.
DAY 94 KK SOL M 3.6 Adding and Subtracting Fractions MT/MA/G/GA: Divide the students into teams. Instruct students to build a pyramid using the sugar cubes. Label each sugar cube on each layer (for example, if it takes 16 sugar cubes to build the bottom layer, label each sugar cube 1/16, pencil does well on the sugar cubes). Whoever labels their pyramid layers correctly and builds their pyramid the fastest is the winner! MT/MA: Each student will receive a plastic plate and a spoonful of pudding. Using their fingers students will write out addition and subtraction problems in the pudding as the teacher models them on the board. After completing the equations students will be allowed to eat a pudding cup.
DAY 95 KK SOL M 3.6 Adding and Subtracting Fractions MT/G/MA:Have students work in small groups preparing sets of fraction cards. Have students write a fraction on the bottom of each card. Then draw a corresponding geometric representation on the top. The students should then cut each card in half with a different, irregular cut. Display the top part and have another group match the bottom part. Then display the bottom portion and have a different group match the top part. Since the cuts are irregular, if a picture does not match a fraction, the two parts will not fit together. Then have the class work as a whole. Name a fraction and have each group that used it show the picture they drew. Students need to know that there are many geometric representations that can be used for the same fraction.
WEEK 20 DAY 96 KK SOL M 3.6 Adding and Subtracting Fractions MT/MA/PS: The teacher or "chef,' will demonstrate the making of a recipe for the class using Cuisenaire rods. A different recipe will then be handed out to each group, containing three to four students. The recipes will consist of a variety of fractions to be represented in the mixture by Cuisenaire rods. This activity will allow students to make a connection between Cuisenaire rods and their fractional value. Students will be encouraged to experiment to find the correct colored rod to represent the fractions found on their recipe cards rather than using multiple rods to represent that fraction.

DAY 113 KK SOL M 3.7 Currency
MT/G: Introduce the following “game” to the class: Alice is trying to create different sums by moving the decimal points in two numbers, 236 and 89. To keep the number of possibilities reasonable, the constraint is added that she can only place the decimal point just before, between, or just after the given digits. Zeros may then be added so long as they do not change the value of the number. Here is her work so far a. 236+89=325 b. 23.6+8.9=32.5 c. 23.6+89.0=112.6 d. 23.6+0.089=23.689 Bill says that the 0 added in problem c is alright, right the 0 added after the decimal point in problem d does not fit the rules. Why is Bill correct? Bill says that Alice could have written the problem 23.60+0.89=24.49. Why does Bill’s problem fit the rules?
MT/SS: Explain to students that each society has their own form of currency. Use pictures and physical examples to show students. Explain that currency can be coins, bills, or a combination of both.

Have students bring in or draw pictures of their items. Students can “buy” things from the lists at each other’s shops, using play coins and bills to pay for them. MT/PS: Have students use play dimes, quarters, and dollar bills to find as many ways as they can to show $1.50. Have students list the coins and bills for each way they find. There are six ways; students can challenge their classmates to find all six ways.
DAY 118 KK SOL M 3.7 Currency MT/R: Review skip counting by 10s, by 5s and by 25s to enable students to count money accurately and efficiently. Then give students random groups of coins and bills for them first to sort, then count, and finally record with a dollar sign and decimal point. DA: Use a number chart for students who have difficulty skip counting. Students can use crayons or markers to color-code 5s, 10s, and 25s. MT/PS: Mock price tags for items students might buy. Guide them to use each price tag as a starting point to count up to the amount paid. Have them model and change with play coins and bills.

DAY 133 KK SOL M 3.9 Time
DAY 134 KK SOL M 3.9 Time
DAY 135 KK SOL M 3.9 Time
MT/SS: The teacher will discuss early clocks such as the sundial and the hourglass. An hourglass takes a set amount of time for the sand in the top glass to run to the bottom. Today small hourglasses are used in cooking and games. A sundial uses the shadow of its blade to tell time. As the sun moves, so does the shadow, showing the approximate time. Students will discuss the types of clocks we use now, digital and analog.
MT/MO/DR: Write times to the hour from 1 o'clock to 12 o’clock on index cards and a number from 1 to 12 on a tag board square. Place the numbers 1-12 in a large circle to form a clock face. Children sit around the clock. Give 12 children each a time card to keep facedown. Two volunteers, one taller than the other, stand in the center of the clock. Ask: Who should be the minute hand? Why? (the taller child because the minute hand is the long hand.) Where should the taller child point to show 1 o’clock? (to 12) Where should the shorter child point? (to 1) Children take turns holding up their index cards. Students tell where the children representing the hands should point to show that time. Repeat the activity until all children have a turn to show the time.
MT/A/MA/G: Have each student make a paper plate clock face. Using a brad fastener, attach tag board or construction paper hands to the center of the plate. These clocks can then be used in various reinforcement activities. For example, as the teacher calls out a time, the students show the correct time on their clocks. This activity can be adapted to a team game. Divide the classroom into teams. When the teacher calls a time, the first person to correctly display his/her clock gains a point for his/her team.
MT/G: Play "Time Tic-TacToe." Prepare blank tic-tac-toe grids and duplicate these for the students. Print Grid Have students write in times on the hour. (The degree of difficulty can be adapted as the students progress.) Display a clock showing a time. If the student has that time written on his/her game board, he/she may cover it with a marker. The first person to complete a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins.
DA: Some clock faces could be pre-made for students who have difficulty with fine motor skills.
MT/LA/R/A: The teacher will tell the students that time is also measured in days, months and years. Share the following poem with students to help them remember the number of days in each month: Thiry days hath September, April, June, and November; All the rest have thirty-one, Excepting February alone, And is has twenty-eight days time; But in Leap Years, February has twenty-nine. Have students work together to construct a calendar for each month of the year using the poem to help.

Together, look for patterns over time.
MT/LA/W: Have children write a diamond-shaped poem about temperature. Explain to children that the first line of the poem is the oneword subject of the poem. (For example, wind.) The second line consists of two adjectives describing the subject (cool, gusty). The third line contains three verbs telling what the subject does (blows, sweeps, howls). The fourth line expresses, in two words, the writer's feelings about the subject (wonderful wind). The last line repeats the first.
DAY 140 KK SOL M 3.10 Temperature MT/MA: Ask children to repeat the four seasons in order; do it continuously several times to help children comprehend the idea that the seasons cycle. Explain that today we are going to investigate the different temperatures of water in the different seasons. The students are to first look at the thermometer and find the temperature to the closest degree. Next, the students are to take their paper thermometers and color it so that it looks just like the real thermometers. Finally, the children will glue their paper thermometer to the season worksheet. Students will then color in the rest of the picture until teacher tells them to move to the next center.
WEEK 29 DAY 141 KK SOL M 3.10 Temperature MT/MA: Using a variety of thermometers students will take the temperature of different items, such as a glass of water and a glass of water with ice in it. Have a few students use a mouth or ear thermometer to take their own temperature. Discuss how on average the human body has a temperature of about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Review what boiling point and melting point are.

The students will collect objects (pebbles, leaves, pinecones, rocks, feathers, grass, seeds, etc.) found along the way and bring them back to the classroom. Sort and classify them on a floor graph (object graph). Discuss the similarities and differences within each group. Order the sorted groups according to attributes (size, shape, color, etc.). Compare the number of objects in each group as a counting activity. Reclassify the groups into living and non-living objects. DA: Students who cannot join the class on the nature walk due to physical problems may use the computer to search for pictures of objects.
DAY 159 KK SOL M 3.13 Organize Data MT/CM: Discuss the words data and survey as a class. Ask students if they have ever taken part in a survey – an organized way of asking questions t many people. Invite them to share their experiences. Explain that the data, or information collected in a survey can be presented in many forms: numbers, pictures, charts, or graphs. MT/LA/R/PS: Read Harriet’s Halloween Candy by Nancy L. Carlson aloud. Brainstorm ways to sort and classify the candy Harriet got. Help students list questions for a survey related to the book. Ideas might include: favorite candy, best hiding place, favorite costume, or best time for a sweet. Have students conduct the survey, present the data, and discuss the findings.

DAY 169 KK SOL M 3.14 Patterns MT/R/DR: The class will read Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed by Eileen Christelow. As a class the students will role-play the story. Afterwards the teacher will discuss the descending pattern in the story. The teacher will also introduce ascending patterns. Students will write definitions for each word down in their notebooks. MT/W: Students will write their own stories that include an ascending or descending pattern. Their patterns must consist of at least 5 items. DA: Students that have difficulty with writing and hand writing skills may use a computer to type their stories.
DAY 170 FIELD TRIP 4 In small groups
students will take a tour of the Virginia Capital and learn about it’s government from past to present. Students who are not on the tour will make a sketch of the building, highlighting geometric shapes, geometric concepts and patterns within the architecture.
WEEK 35 DAY 171 KK SOL M 3.14 Patterns MT/MO/DR: Ask two students (one boy and one girl) to come to the front and have the girl hold a large sheet of paper with the letter "A", and the boy as "B" and arrange them in an AB pattern. Explain that it is called AB pattern because the letters A and B represent when the first pattern changes to a second new pattern. (A is one thing, B is something else.) Bring up several more students and instruct the students to arrange themselves in AB patterns. Write the pattern that is created on the board and instruct that pattern is something that repeats. You will label this as AB pattern.
DAY 172 KK SOL M 3.14 Patterns MT/CM: Explain and show them that patterns can happen in all different areas of life wherever we are, inside or outside; at home or in school, playing in the pool or at a playground. Ask them to think about where they have seen patterns and write them on the board. MT/MO/A: The class will sit quietly outside for 30 minutes and sketch patterns that they observe in nature.
DAY 173 KK SOL M 3.14 Patterns MT: Give each student a copy of a 0-99 Chart and crayons. Ask students to color the numbers that are called as you skip count by 2’s. Direct students to observe and report the pattern that results. Note that columns are formed when the numbers are colored in this counting sequence. Engage students in a discussion about this pattern and why it occurs. Repeat by counting by 3s, 5s, 10s, etc.
DAY 174 KK SOL M 3.14 Patterns MT/MA: The teacher places tiles on the overhead projector in a pattern. The teacher gives the students a few minutes to copy the pattern. Those who wish to predict and build the next step may do so. The teacher then places the fourth step to the pattern on the overhead. While the students are adding steps, the teacher walks around the room and observes. This procedure will be repeated adding new patterns. The patterns are kept very simple at the beginning. DA: Some students may need the tiles on their own desks instead of on the overhead projector.
DAY 175 KK SOL M 3.14 Patterns MT/MA: Make a skip count board by cutting slits in cardboard. Using number cards 0-99, the students are to take turns placing multiples of two in the slits. Have each student make the complete list of twos' on paper. MT: Teacher slides the pattern strip from the sleeve as the students "read" the pattern. The teacher should expose the pattern one object at a time requiring students to re-read the "whole" pattern each time.
WEEK 36 DAY 176 KK SOL M 3.14 Patterns M/MA/A: Students measure and cut six 3" squares from one of the sheets of construction paper. Fold one of the 3" squares and draw a simple design from the fold. Cut out the design from the fold leaving a hole in the square. Using the first square, with cutout shape as a pattern, trace the design and cut out the shapes from the remaining five squares. Begin by placing one of the cutout squares in one corner of the second sheet of construction paper. Arrange the remaining cutout squares on the paper in a checkerboard style. When the position of each square is determined, begin gluing them in place. In the blank spaces,
