HKSOL-M-4.13 Measure area The students will be given a layout of the classroom floor (with the same number units as tiles). The students will have to find the area of the classroom. After finding the area of the classroom and discussing how it was found, the students will be introduced to the formula for finding the area of a square and a rectangle (length x width) and participate in practicing with the teacher using the formula for area.

The teacher will prepare multiple shapes on grid paper. The teacher will also model which units the students have to count to find the area (all of them). Before letting the students off on their own of finding the area, the teacher will find the area of a couple of the shapes with the help of the students. Maletsky, p. 630

The teacher will draw out the floor layout and make copies for each of the students. The teacher will just simply tell the students that they need to find the area and see if the students remember from yesterday how to do so. After the floor plan is finished, introduce the formula for finding the area for squares and rectangles. Practice using this formula with the students with several shapes.

The students will be given rulers and asked to measure the length and width of five different items (squares or rectangles) in the classroom and find the area. The students will have a list from the teacher of the five things that they are to find the area of in the classroom. Once they have the measurements of the sides, they are to return to their seats to find the area. Some students may have to find the area of some of the same things.

The students will be given a page from the math book with rectangles and squares that have measurements on the sides. The students will have to find both the area and the perimeter. Before getting started on the work page, the students will have to tell the teacher the difference between the area and the perimeter of an object.

The students will go on a scavenger hunt through the classroom looking for examples of points, lines, line segments, and rays that were either already in the classroom or placed especially for this activity by the teacher. The students will have to find three examples of each term. They may work in teams of two. They will have to draw the thing that they found along with correctly identifying each thing.

The students will be shown lines, rays, and line segments that have points on them along with letters above the points. They will be shown how we come up with the name of a ray, line, and line segment. They will also find out that this type is helpful when there are more than one rays, lines, or line segments in a set. The students will practice naming the rays, lines, and line segments.

The teacher will show the students how to measure items in the classroom with the ruler and how to find the area using the formula that was given yesterday. The teacher will have made a listing for each student of the five things that the students are to find the area of in the classroom. The teacher will also supervise all of the activity along with offering help that is needed by any student.

The teacher will ask the students for the difference between the area and the perimeter. The formulas for each will be reviewed before giving the students the work page of having to find both the area and the perimeter of the shapes with measurements. While the students are working on the work page, the teacher is to be available for anyone who needs help. Maletsky, p.635

The students will investigate and describe relationships between and among points, lines, line segments, and rays. They will be shown toothpicks that have been made in the form of lines, line segments, and rays. After going over the preview of the toothpicks, the students will be given toothpicks and play dough to make their own points, lines, line segments, and rays. DA: The play dough will help improve motor skills and exercise hands. This is also a good hands on activity for kinesthetic learners. The teacher will prepare ahead of time the toothpick/play dough points, lines, line segments, and rays to show as a model to the students. The teacher will also provide the students with toothpicks and play dough. The teacher will model the making of the points, lines, line segments, and rays.

The teacher will place things around the room for the scavenger hunt. There will be an instruction page for every group. The teacher will inform the students that each person has to participate and turn in their own paper but they can work with their predetermined partner throughout the activity. The teacher will be available for any help that is needed and observe the students at they work to ensure that everyone is carrying their own weight.

The teacher will provide the students with examples of lines, rays, and line segments with points that have letters above them. The teacher will also show the students how to name a ray, line, and line segment. Along with showing how to name them, the teacher will show the importance of being able to name the rays, lines, and line segments when there are more than one in a set. The teacher will also provide an opportunity for the students to practice naming rays, lines, and line segments as a whole class.

Day 116 HKSOL-M-4-4.14 Points and parts of a line The students will be given a worksheet of rays, lines, points, and line segments as a review. They will have to correctly identify each problem. They will also have to correctly name each point, ray, line, and line segment. DA: Allow the students who have a diagnosed problem with memory use a word bank.

The teacher will put together a worksheet for a review of points, rays, lines, and line segments. The teacher will model the first problem. The teacher will give the students directions of identifying each problem and assigning each the correct name. The teacher will also be available to any student who needs help.

Laura Hostetler and Ava Kelley: 4th Grade Math: Week 24 Character Trait: Reliability Day 117 Day 118 Day 119 HKSOL-M-4-4.15 Drawing parts of lines and angles The students will participate in a ‘drawing bee’ for points, rays, lines, and line segments. The students will come up two at a time. After the teacher has said what should be drawn, the student who correctly draws and labels what is being asked of the students wins that round.

The teacher will administer the ‘drawing bee’ of points, rays, lines, and line segments. The teacher will have two students come up at a time. The teacher will say ‘draw line segment KL’ etc. The teacher will have to judge who draws the asked problem the fastest and correctly wins that portion of the ‘bee’.

HKSOL-M-4-4.15 Drawing parts of lines and angles The students will be show a square. They will be shown the different parts of a square, including the line segments and the angles (right angles). They will also be shown other angles along with the different names of the angles. The students will identify the points, line segments, and angles of squares.

The teacher will provide the student with a square that has the points, line segments, and angles marked (easy identification in explanation). The teacher will show the students how to identify angles. The teacher will also give examples and names of different angles. After the explanation the teacher will provide the students with a worksheet of squares where they have to identify the points, line segments, and angles.

HKSOL-M-4-4.15 Drawing parts of lines and angles The students will look at different things that make angles (open book, open door, scissors etc.). They will also look at their book and desk and identify the type of angles that they see. They will be introduced to the protractor. The students will be shown how they can draw angles using the protractor. They will be given a chance to experiment with the protractors. The teacher will show how different things make angles. The teacher will also help the students to identify the different types of angles that are throughout the classroom. Then, the teacher will introduce the protractor and show how it is used. The teacher will also give the students time to experiment with the protractors.

Day 120 HKSOL-M-4-4.15 Drawing parts of lines and angles The students will once again be given the protractors. They will have a list of angle measurements that they will have to draw. They may work together, but each person will have to turn in their own work on a separate paper. They may use their rulers as a straight edge to help draw the sides/rays of each angle. They may also ask the teacher for help if they need to do so.

The teacher will make a listing of different angle measures along with the bottom side/ray of the angle already drawn for the students. The teacher will do the first two with the help of the students. The teacher should make her/himself available for help is any students needs assistance drawing/measuring the angles.

Two students will come up to the classroom. The two students will be asked to walk to the back of the classroom but they will have to take different paths. One student will walk straight to the back of the class and the other will walk zigzagged and around desks to the back. The students will participate in a discussion about who took the shortest distance to the back of the classroom. DA: Have the kinesthetic learners do this so that they have a chance to move around. The teacher will have two students come to the front of the classroom and tell them two different paths for each of them to take to the back of the classroom. The teacher will guide the students through an active discussion about which student took the shortest distance to the back of the classroom.

The students will be in two groups. One group will go with the teacher and the other group will go along with a parent volunteer. Each group will be given a different map to the same destination in the school. Each group will have to count the number of steps that they take to the destination. When everyone comes back together, they will discuss who took the shortest distance to the destination.

The students will be given three maps with a destination on each. They will have to choose the shortest distance from a particular point on the map and mark the shortest path.

The students will draw a map of their own marking a starting point and a particular point on their map. After creating the map, the students will exchange maps with another student. Then they will have to find the shortest path for their classmate’s destination on their map.

The students will be shown the different groupings of lines. They will also be shown the different names for the groups of lines (parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting). They will also be shown why they are called different names and told the different definitions of each. After going over the different types the students will have to identify different groupings of lines that the teacher presents to the students.

The teacher will provide a map for the two groups. The teacher will also arrange for a parent to come in to help with this activity. The teacher and the parent will guide the students on the walk to the same destination according to their own map, counting their steps along the way. The teacher will conduct a discussion about who went the shortest path.

The teacher will provide the students with three different maps with a starting point marked. The teacher will also mark a specified destination on each map. The teacher will guide the students with an example map of how to choose the shortest path.

The teacher will guide the students in making maps. The teacher will advise the students not to mark the shortest distance for their map because they are going to trade maps with another person in the class. The teacher will decide who exchanges maps. The teacher will also observe the students will they work and make self available for assistance if any is needed.

The teacher will show the students different types of lines along with the names and definitions. The teacher will also explain the differences between each grouping of lines. The teacher will hold up different examples of each for the students to practice identifying each grouping.

The students will practice drawing the different groupings of lines. They will be given a worksheet of the different names listed at least three times each. They will have to be able to draw the correct grouping of lines with each name.

The students will have toothpicks and the play dough again. They will use the toothpicks and play dough to make each type of lines correctly. As the students are working, they will be asked what types of things that they can think of that have these types of lines in them (streets, cross, letters etc.). They will have to draw their favorite thing that has one of the types of lines. DA: Play dough will help with motor skills. The teacher will provide the students with the toothpicks and play dough in order for them to make the three different types of lines. The teacher will model how to make each type of line. While the students are making the types of lines on their own, the teacher will ask the students what types of things that we see have these types of lines in them.

The students will be given a map of a ‘community’. The students will inspect for the different types of lines. After identifying the different types of lines in the map, the students will play a game of memory of matching the types of lines with the name, and drawing. Each student has to participate.

The students will view and hold different 3 dimensional shapes. The will take note of the shapes that they see in the 3D shape. After viewing the shapes they will be given a flat piece of paper and will have to figure out which 3dimensional shape the flat paper belongs to. After deciding which shape the paper belongs to, the students will use that paper to make that particular shape.

The students will be given two 3 dimensional shapes. They will have to explore the different shapes. While investigating the shapes, they must write down the differences and similarities of each of the shapes that they were given by the teacher. They will also have to name all of the shapes that they see in the 3 dimensional shapes.

The teacher will find a simple map of a ‘community’ with the streets clearly visible and show the students one way on the map how there is one of the types of lines and then having the students identify the rest. After finishing with the map, the teacher will lead the students in a game of ‘types of lines’ memory.

The teacher will gather multiple 3 dimensional shapes for the students to explore. The teacher will also tell the different names for each of the shapes. In advance the teacher will prepare the flat paper for the different shapes. The teacher will assist the students in making the 3 dimensional shapes after they have identified which shape they have in front of them.

The teacher will provide the students with different three dimensional shapes. The teacher will also provide the students with a chart for them to record the differences and similarities that they see in each shape. The teacher will model finding differences and similarities in two shapes. The teacher will observe the different thing that the students recognize and are finding in the different shapes.

The teacher will model drawing each of the types of lines for the students to see how to draw each. The teacher will also give the students rulers to assist them in the drawing of the lines. The teacher will observe how well each student works and draws each type of lines.

Day 131 HKSOL-M-4-4.17 Compare properties of shapes The students will go on a three dimensional shape scavenger hunt around the classroom and their room at home(homework). They will be given a listing of different shapes that they have to find. They will find the different shapes in the classroom (recording what they find). They will also get another listing of shapes for them to find at home.

The teacher will make a listing of the different shapes for each of the students to find while in the classroom and at their home. The teacher will also provide a record sheet with the names of the different shapes for the students to record their findings throughout the classroom and home.

The students will be shown three of the same shapes: one will be smaller and two will be the same size. They will be given the definitions of congruent and similar. After hearing the definition of congruent and similar the students will then try to pick out the pair of similar shapes and pair of congruent shapes. They will have to draw congruent shapes along with drawing similar shapes with each correctly labeled.

The students will watch the teacher draw congruent figures and listen to the explanation of why they are congruent and how to make sure that you draw congruent figures. The students will have dot paper and have to draw shapes that are congruent. Along with drawing the congruent shapes, the students will have to explain why the shapes that they draw are congruent.

The students will watch the teacher draw similar figures and listen to an explanation given as to why these figures are similar and not congruent. The students will then have to draw similar figures on dot paper along with writing an explanation of their own as to why their figures are similar and not congruent. There may not be any congruent shapes drawn, since that was yesterdays concentration.

The teacher will show the students three shapes (as mentioned above). The teacher will also give the definition of congruent and similar figures along with explaining the definitions and helping the students to identify the shapes as congruent and similar.

The teacher will have dot paper(overhead). The teacher will model to the students how to draw congruent figures and explaining to the students why the shapes that were drawn are congruent. The teacher will also have the students to the same, have the students draw five different congruent shapes with explanations as to why their shapes are congruent.

The teacher will draw similar shapes on the overhead dot paper. After drawing the similar figures the teacher will give the students an explanation as to why the figures are similar and not congruent.

HKSOL-M-4-4.17 Congruence of plane figures (flip/slide/turn)

The students will be given a worksheet as a wrap up of this section of similar and congruent figures. They will have to correctly identify the groups of figures as either similar or congruent. There will also be shapes that they will have to either draw a similar or congruent figure to the one that is provided.

The students will become familiar with the terms: transformations, translation, reflection, rotation, and line of symmetry. The students will also be shown shapes that are examples of the terms and will have to identify which example goes with which term. The students will then be assigned a term and will have to draw a picture of the term that they are assigned on dot paper. DA: Have some of the kinesthetic learners actual perform the task of flip, slide, and turn. The teacher will have the definitions written on a poster board and display one definition at a time. Along with the definition, the teacher will provide an example before having the students identify the examples to the terms. The teacher will also provide the students with dot paper and their assigned term.

The student will be asked orally to give the definition to transformation, translation, and reflection. They will also actively participate in the activities making translations and reflections. To make translations the students will slide concrete objects over a string or tape on the floor. They will then explore the world of reflection using mirrors. The students will have to identify the difference between translation and reflection.

The students will review the concept of reflections. They will be asked orally to give the definition of rotation. The students will make a ‘spinner’ to attach and shape to and practice doing rotations with different shapes. They will also make/cut different shapes that they can do rotations with along with different spinner bases to go along with a specific shape.

The students will review the concept of rotations. They will be asked orally to give the definition of line of symmetry. The students will explore different shapes that are in the classroom to find the line of symmetry. They will have to remember that not all shapes have a line of symmetry and that some do have multiple lines of symmetry. While exploring the classroom for lines of symmetry the students will keep a running record of what they are checking of the line of symmetry and how many lines of symmetry are in that shape.

The teacher will provide the concrete objects, mirrors, string or tape. The teacher will also provide/model examples of how to make translations and reflections. While the students are practicing making translations and reflections the teacher will walk around to observe how the students are working and making the translations and reflections.

The teacher will provide the necessary materials for the students to make at least three spinners for them to practice the rotations. The teacher will also have an enlarged spinner to show the students what they are making and how the spinner will work and help them to do rotations.

The teacher will give the students examples of shapes that have lines of symmetry and also shapes that do not have lines of symmetry. The teacher will walk around observing the ways that the students are trying to find the lines of symmetry and will make self available for needed help and to maintain classroom control. The teacher will provide the students with a chart that the students can keep their record of things that they are exploring and searching for lines of symmetry in.

The teacher will provide the students with the instructions of the worksheet. The teacher will observe the students as they work to ensure that students stay on task and are getting the worksheet done. The teacher will also make self available to any student who has a question or needs assistance in figuring out the relationship between the shapes.

HKSOL-M-4-4.18 Points on Graphs The students will be introduced to coordinate graphs. The students will also learn that for a coordinate graph you have to have an ordered pair (coordinates) for each point that is on the graph. The students will also learn how to locate a point by using the coordinates.

HKSOL-M-4-4.18 Points on Graphs The students will have to find specific points on an enlarged coordinate graph of a fair that is on the board. They will have to work together to make a plan for how they should plan their visit to the fair using the coordinates saying where they should go and in the order that they should go to those points.

The teacher will show an example of a coordinate graph. The teacher will also show how a person can find out the coordinates of a point along with how to follow the coordinates to find the point.

The teacher will have the enlarged coordinate graph of the fair prepared ahead of class time. The teacher will also have each location listed by either name or coordinates and the students will have to find the missing part before making the plan for the fair. Clements, 126

HKSOL-M-4-4.18 Points on Graphs The students will explore another type coordinate graphs. The previous type is like a map. This type is a line coordinate graph. The students will look over a coordinate graph with just a line of points. They will understand that this graph also needs coordinates to locate and make points on the graph. The teacher will show examples of the line coordinate graph along with explaining what has to be done to make a line coordinate graph. The teacher will also show and work through how to make coordinates using algebra. Clements, 228

Day 145

HKSOL-M-4-4.18 Points on Graphs The students will practice using algebra to find and plot points on the graph. They will each be given three equations and will have to plot the points that come from that equation.

HKSOL-M-4-4.19 Predictions The students will be given a spinner that has different colors in different proportions. They will have to predict which color they think the spinner will land on. Then they will spin the spinner and see if their prediction was right. DA: Cutting the spinner material out will help with fine motor skills.

Before the students practice plotting points from algebraic equations the teacher will review with the students how to plot the points from an equation and show them how their graph should look as they are plotting the points. The teacher will assign each student an equation to plot points from onto their graph.

The teacher will provide each student with spinners with colors in different proportions. The teacher will explain the type for predictions. The largest number or grouping has a higher chance of occurring or being chosen.

HKSOL-M-4-4.19 probability

The students will participate in an experiment. Before the experiment can be conducted they will have to predict what they think will happen at the end of the experiment based on an overview of information provided by the teacher. They will participate in an experiment of seeing how many popsicle sticks we can stack on top of each other before they all fall.

The students will each be given a dice. They will be asked to predict whether they will roll an odd or even number the most and record their prediction on a chart. After their prediction, they will roll the dice 10 times and record the number that they roll. When they are finished they will add the number of odds and evens that they rolled and compare to their prediction.

The Students will collect data for graphing of different characteristics of rocks (like color, shape, the appearance of texture) while acting respectful on the field trip.

The students will be introduced the probability through doing a review page. The students will review important concepts that are needed when doing probability. They will compare parts of a whole and use the tally system to record results from using a spinner. They will also look at the terms of probability, certain, likely, unlikely, and equally likely.

The teacher will record each student’s prediction on the board. Before taking the predictions the teacher will show the students that at least 10 popsicle sticks can sit on top of each other without falling down. The teacher will also provide the sticks and have one student at a time come up to stack one popsicle stick. Once the pile falls the teacher will check the predictions and ask the students why they think the sticks fell when they did.

The teacher will provide the students with one dice per student and a chart for recording their predictions and the actual events with the dice. The teacher will show that there are three odd numbers and three even numbers. The students will be asked whether there is an equal chance or if one is more likely than the other to be rolled. The teacher will oversee all of the rolling of the dice to make sure that there is no unnecessary playing. (The students will be given a chance at the beginning of the lesson to just play with their dice for 1 minute.)

The students will each be given a bag of marbles with different amounts of each color (there will be different amounts of colors in each bag). They will be given a listing of the number of marbles and of what color is in their bag. They will have to predict which color they will pull from their bag. Then after each prediction they will have to pull out a marble and record their prediction and the actual color that they pulled until the bag is empty. The teacher will prepare a bag of marbles for each student with different amounts of each color and each bag being different. The teacher will also model to the students what they are to do. There is also a record sheet that needs to be provided by the teacher for the students to record their predictions and the actual events of pulling out of the bag.

DA: Field trip is an excellent way for all learners to have a hands on experience for all of the core content areas.

The teacher will have parents to help chaperon the field trip. The teacher will also take pictures of the different rocks to be used when graphing the data that the students record.

The teacher will guide the students through the review page of important information to remember for probability. The teacher will also do the spinning of the spinner for the last activity for the review while the students record the results of the spinning. Maletsky, 3rd grade, 487

The student will be given an instance and they will have to decide whether it is likely, unlikely, or certain that it will happen. An instance could be you will get wet if you jump in the swimming pool or you will have a conversation with a talking fish. The students will also have a spinner of their own with different shapes. Some of the spinners will be different. They will have to decide by just looking at the spinner which shape the spinner is likely to land on and unlikely to land on.

The students will participate in a class activity that has to do with painted beans in a bag. The students will be asked a variety of questions that have to deal with the colored beans. There will be a different number of beans for each color. They will be asked questions like: Which color has the greatest chance of being pulled out of the bag? Which color has the smallest chance to be pulled out of the bag? After answering these questions the students will pull 10 beans out of the bag and record the colors that they pull. The teacher will have painted the beans ahead of time and separated the beans into bags for groups of two or three students. The teacher will also show the students how they should answer the necessary questions. While the students are answering the questions, pulling out beans and recording their findings, the teacher will make self available for any help that is needed.

The students will do a similar activity to the activity that was done yesterday. The activity today will involve the students collecting data from their surroundings. The students will have to decide the likelihood of someone with a specific hair color being drawn from a hat. The groups being red hair, brown hair, black hair, and blonde hair. Once the students have agreed on the likelihood of the chances for person in a specific hair color group to be drawn, there will be a drawing to test their decisions. The teacher will have columns prepared and labeled with each hair color. The teacher will listen to the students as they say where each student is suppose to go and what they think the likelihood of someone being drawn with a specific hair color. After this is done, the teacher will call one student at a time to pull a name out of a hat/bag. The class together will compare the actual results to their decisions.

The students will be introduced to three new types of graphs: pictograph, line graph, and bar graphs. The students will be shown examples of pictographs and see that with these graphs the information is presented with pictures. The students will practice reading the information on pictographs and answering questions concerning the information on the graphs.

The students will be asked what a line graph is and how the information is represented. They will again be shown examples of the line graphs. They will see that this is very similar to the coordinate graphs. They will practice drawing and reading line graphs. They will also have to use the information on the graph to answer questions that are asked by the teacher. DA: Drawing the graphs will help the visual learners to grasp the concept.

The teacher will prepare several pictographs for the students to draw conclusions from to answer specific questions. The teacher will also clearly explain to the students how to read the information that is on the graphs and model reading the information.

The teacher will prepare examples of line graphs. The graphs will also be made available for the students to use for answering the questions. The teacher will also model reading and drawing a line graph. The teacher will also show the students the similarities and differences between the line graph and the coordinate graph.

The teacher will provide the class with instances that they have to say likely, unlikely, or certain that the particular event will take place. The teacher will also have several spinners made (1 per student). The teacher will instruct the students on what they are to do with the spinners. They are to look at the shapes on the spinners and decide which shapes are likely and unlikely to be spun. Maletsky, 3rd grade, p. 488

HKSOL-M-4-4.21 Forms of number

Field Trip: news station weather (review measuring temperature)

HKSOL-M-4-4.21 Forms of number

The students will be asked if they can say what a bar graph is and how the information is presented in a bar graph. They will be shown examples of bar graphs and will pick out some of the information that is on the graph. They will be shown how to read the information and how to draw a bar graph. The students will be given a handful of jelly beans. They will have to make a bar graph of the colors of the jelly beans that they are given. Each graph will be different. The teacher will show the students examples of bar graphs. The teacher will also show how to read and draw bar graphs. The teacher will also provide each student a handful of jelly beans and record the amount of each color that is given to each student, so that each graph can be graded accurately.

The students will be given their information that they collected while on their field trip to Dixie Caverns about the different rocks that they saw. They will have to make a graph (any) and record the data that they collected. Their graph will either deal with information of the color of rocks, shape, size, or texture (not a mixture of information).

The students will be introduced to the four ways that numbers can be expressed: standard, word name, short word name, and expanded form. The students will match each form with the correct example.

The students while acting respectively on the field trip to the weather station, they will practice reading temperatures and adding and subtracting their measurements. Once back at school the students will make a bar graph record the temperatures that each student read.

The students will work on comparing and matching the standard form to the word name of that number. Before getting into comparing to the word name the students will explore and learn word names so that they will be able to correctly identify the word name and write the word name for the standard form. They will also practice writing the name for the standard form.

The teacher will provide the students with their information that they collected while on the field trip and the materials needed for the graph that they choose to make to record their findings on. The teacher will also review quickly with the students how to make the specific graphs and be available to each student as help is needed.

The teacher will provide the definitions and examples of each number form. The teacher will also ask the students which form they think is used the most and where they think that some of the other forms are used in everyday life.

DA: Field trip is an excellent way for all learners to have a hands on experience for all of the core content areas. The teacher will chaperon the students along with the help of the parents. The teacher will also record the different measurements of temperature with the students’ name of who read that particular temperature. Once back to school the teacher will guide the students in making a class bar graph of the temperatures that were read on the field trip.

The teacher will provide examples of the standard and written form. There will also have to be sentence strips made of each number word name that will be used in class. These may stay on the board while the students are working. The teacher will write on the board the standard form and the students will have to write the word name on their white board, waiting for the teacher to come check their board before they can erase their answer.

HKSOL-M-4-4.21 Forms of number

HKSOL-M-4-4.22 Numbers in expanded form

The students will be given examples of the short word name. They will also have to compare this to the standard and word form. They will have to correctly match each form. They will also have to write each form. They will be given one form and they will have to write every form that they know.

The students will participate in a game of Memory. They will have to correctly match two forms of numbers. After doing this as a class the students will break up into groups of two and continue the Memory game. DA: Game for kinesthetic learners to be able to get up an do something rather than just sitting.

The teacher will provide the students with examples of the short word form. The teacher will explain that this form is very closely related to the word form. The teacher will also give the students a worksheet with examples from each with different numbers requiring the students to write each form for that particular number on their worksheet.

The teacher will prepare the Memory game well in advanced. There needs to be a class example game and games for groups of two students. The teacher will provide the rules and oversee all of the game playing. While overseeing the game playing the teacher will be observing accuracy of the matching of forms.

The students will be introduced to a new form of expressing numbers: the expanded form. They will be shown an example of the expanded form and asked which example of one of the other forms can be matched with this specific expanded form. The students will also be given a rule of thumb for writing the expanded form. In the expanded form you have to write it as 100+20+3 not 110+5+8. It has to be separated by place value. The teacher will provide examples of the expanded form along with the other forms for the students to compare the expanded form to help with comprehension. The teacher will also make a poster board with the expanded form and the correct examples and one incorrect example (clearly labeling which example is correct and incorrect).

Day 175

HKSOL-M-4-4.22 Numbers in expanded form The students will make a chart of the forms of numbers. They will have a row of the matching forms. The students will have to have a minimum of six different numbers in the four different forms: standard, word, short word, and expanded form.

HKSOL-M-4-4.22 Numbers in expanded form The students will make their own review game of the different forms of numbers. They can work in groups of two on their games. They can make games of Memory or Bingo. While making their games, they will have to include three examples of each form.

The teacher will provide the students with an example of what their chart should look like with the four forms of numbers. The teacher will help the students get started by helping them complete the first number that they have in their chart. The teacher will also observe the students as they work on their charts. Maletsky, 68

The teacher will provide guidance and the materials that are needed for each person to make their own game to review the different forms of numbers. The teacher will also assist the students in making their games as needed.

Day 176 HKSOL-M-4-4.22 Numbers in expanded form The students will remain in their groups that they made their games. They will play their games as a review of the four different forms that we have gone over the past week. They will also rotate games to get practice in another form using a different game.

The teacher will oversee the game playing and will observe for accuracy in the matching of forms. Also the students who made Bingo, will be with the teacher, as the teacher will be the one who calls out the number form. This will help the level of comprehension of the forms to be shown to the teacher.

Laura Hostetler and Ava Kelley: 4th Grade Math: Week 36 Character Trait: Citizenship Day 177 Day 178 Day 179 HKSOL-M-4-4.23 acute/obtuse/right angles The students will be introduced to ‘right angles’. They will also be asked to mention things that are every day thing that have a right angle. The students will then have to draw a right angle using a protractor and draw at least two things that have right angles.

The teacher will have the definition along with an example of a right angle on poster board, large enough for every student to be able to see it. The teacher will also draw examples of different right angles. While the students are drawing their right angles, the teacher will be available to any student who needs assistance.

HKSOL-M-4-4.23 acute/obtuse/right angles The students will be introduced to ‘acute angles’. They will be shown the difference between a right angle and an acute angle (right=90 degrees and acute=0-89 degrees). The students will have to draw two acute angles. They will also have to point out the differences between acute and right angles on paper. The teacher will have the definition along with an example of an acute angle on poster board. There will also be a poster board comparing and contrasting the right angle to the newly introduced acute angle. The teacher will also provide a worksheet of right and acute angles mixed where the students will have to correctly identify each angle.

Day 180

HKSOL-M-4-4.23 acute/obtuse/right angles The students will be introduced to ‘obtuse angles’. They will be shown examples of obtuse angles. They will also be shown the differences of the three types of angles. They will also have to be able to identify the different types and to draw an example of each using their protractor.

HKSOL-M-4-4.23 acute/obtuse/right angles The students will bring in round snacks. They will have to measure the angle of the pieces of the snacks that are brought in: cookies, pizza, pies, etc… DA: Great hands on activity for visual and kinesthetic learners.

The teacher will again have the definition with an example of an obtuse angle. Also there will be a poster board comparing all three angles (right, acute, and obtuse). The teacher will also provide the protractors that the students will have to use when drawing their angles and correctly labeling them.

The teacher will have the definitions of a right angle, acute angle, and obtuse angle displayed throughout the classroom. The teacher will also bring in the pizza for the angle party. After cutting the round snacks, the teacher will have each student come up one at a time, and measure the angle of different items (one per person) and naming the type of angle. After all of the angles have been measured and identified, the snack s may be eaten.
