I created this game as a place value review for my students.  It supports sol 3.1a, read, write, and identify the place and value of each digit in a six-digit whole number.  In this 4-round game, students work in small groups cooperatively.  After each round is completed, the student takes the recording sheet to the teacher to be checked.  Students shoot a small ball into a trash can, laundry basket, or bucket from lines taped on the floor to earn points for their team.  This game is very engaging and helped my students practice place value and learn to work together as a team. 

I created the Polygons Sort Jam to give my students practice with polygons vocabulary.  Before doing the sort, I have my students practice with drawing polygons and playing games to help learn the names.  I also give them a helpful hints page to help them remember the names and sides of the polygons. This activity supports sol 3.12, identify and name polygons with ten or fewer sides.  

This is a probability assessment to be used at the end of the probability unit and guide further instruction.

Students will actively model a sorting network by using what they know about comparing and ordering numbers to learn how computers use algorithms to sort things.

Learn about the physics of resistance in a wire. Change its resistivity, length, and area to see how they affect the wire's resistance. The sizes of the symbols in the equation change along with the diagram of a wire.

A fun dice game to get students excited about figuring out addition and subtraction problems.  This activity will help children learn to build greater knowledge of addition/subtraction equations and sums/differences.  Studemts are able to exercise and to have fun while building fundamental skills.  This activity can also be adapted to multiply and division.

Counting money is an important life skill.  I created this game to give my students hands on practice with counting money.  This activity supports sol 3.6a, determine the value of a collection of bills and coins whose total value is $5.00 or less.  This game has three recording sheets so that you can differentiate based on the needs of your students.  Students play with a partner to roll a die, write the number under each column, and put coins on the work mat to count.  Before playing this game, we sorted coins and talked about their characteristics.  Students need to be able to recognize the coins and know their value to be able to count money.  While students play the game, I walk around to help students as needed and to assess their counting ability.  This helps to guide my instruction for future lessons.

 This is a fun, quick and easy way for students practice Data Anaylsis. Students will roll a 6 sided cube with each side containing a different St. Pat’s Day image. Students will record their data on a graph. Students will then make a prediction on which image they think they will roll next based on their data. Included is an editable cube so you can choose your own images. It's not limited to St. Pat's Day.

Students will first follow a set of instructions in a buddy-programming setting, then create a game in which sprites move to specific coordinates to capture food items. Then, pairs will use pair-share-think to offer feedback on other games and compare/contrast programming blocks. 

Build coin expressions, then exchange them for variable expressions. Simplify and evaluate expressions until you are ready to test your understanding of equivalent expressions in the game!

The purpose for this podcast is to demonstrate fluency of skip counting to 100 by 10s while incorporating physical activity.

 The lesson is designed to build a classroom transformation theme while integrating computer science SOLs into the core curriculum.  These lessons introduce students to basic algorithms and programming vocabulary they would use every day.  The lessons show how easy it is to integrate computer science with a multidisciplinary approach.  The engaging theme of a snow day allows the students to use real-world situations to learn the necessary standards.  “Snow Day!” is a one-day classroom transformation that integrates all of the content areas with computer science.  Students learn new vocabulary from interaction with prior experiences.  By the middle of first grade, they already know how to retell a story in the correct sequence, plan and write sentences, add and subtract, and cut shapes.  They also already know that snow melts.  They will learn simple computer science vocabulary such as algorithm, loop, and debug. 

After reviewing tips for following instructions, students will use plane figures to create a mystery image using their teacher's algorithm. Unfortunately, the teacher's directions are not very precise. Students will lend a hand by giving detailed feedback to debug and clarify the set of ordered instructions to successfully build a snowman.   

This is a remix of Sort and Count II from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/990 The lesson is about sorting and counting 20 or fewer objects to support sol K.1a.  The purpose of this task is for students to sort the same set of objects according to different attributes and to practice counting a given set of 20 or fewer objects.  Students will play this game with a partner in a Scoot style game.  My students love games or activities that get them out of their seats and moving.  Instead of scooting around desks, students will scoot around the room.
