Identifying and describing parts of a circle and the relationship between the parts. Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the  Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Identify, describe, and represent points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, and intersecting, parallel, and perpendicular lines. Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Applying formulas to measure attributes of shapes Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This lesson allow for students to begin exploring with tangrams. The hands-on activity makes connection between math vocabulary and visual manipulatives. The experience gives students time to develop deeper knowledge of shapes and what parts can make up a shape.. The book allows student to get engaged in their learning of tangrams while exploring shapes and designs. This remix provides a slight bit of scaffolding for students about tangrams before moving into the activity.

This lesson integrates computer science through discovering graphing on a coordinate plane for 6th graders all the way to a review for 8th graders with extensions that include slope.

Comparing two objects, using direct comparison, according to weight  (heavier or lighter).Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.  

Determining elapsed time -- Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom. 

This resource is a remix from Illustrative Mathematics (https://goopenva.org/courses/3-md-how-heavy). This resource encourages student collaboration and allows students to have a mathematical dialogue as express their understanding of units of measure. Teachers can use objects found around the house to demonstrate mathematics in the real world. I like how this resource adds flexibility in instruction, as it allows teachers to creatively add diverse manipulatives or real-life items on the balance scale. This activity scaffolds the learning process allowing students an opportunity to experience active hands-on learning to strengthen their understanding of mathematical concepts, which provides a diverse learning experience. This resource is a valuable part of building background when introducing units of measure or equations in the early elementary years of mathematics education as it provides students a concrete example of building an equation with concrete objects.  Suggested Modification - A student recording sheet with illustrations has been added to the resource to allow all different types of learner to learn from a concrete idea to strengthen conceptual learning about building an equation. 

Comparing two objects, using direct comparison, according to length (shorter, longer)Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Measurement weight in poundsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Measuring and comparing volume using nonstandard unitsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Students will do elapsed time in a 12-hour period.  The teacher will encourage students using different strategies to solve practical problems.  Social learning will be modeled as students play a game in pairs.

This lesson is a remix from Illustrative Mathematics.  This lesson uses manipulatives to demonstrate how to solve for area.  Connections are also made to multiplication.https://goopenva.org/courses/3-md-india-s-bathroom-tiles

This resource is a remix of the original lesson from Illustrative mathematics https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/3/MD/C/7/tasks/1990. Suggested Modifications- I like the original activity in the lesson plan on India's bathroom tile, however, it is crucial to allow students to explore and have a mathematical dialogue as part of the scaffolding process to activate their background knowledge on the content, instead of asking them to directly dive in the computation process. The modification will allow students to have a mathematical discourse about the topic, providing them an opportunity to work in an interactive learning environment with math manipulatives. 

Applying deductive thinkingMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the  Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This is lab serves to introduce the congruent triangle theorems (SSS, SAS, ASA, HL, and AAS).

Telling time to the nearest minute -- Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the  Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom. 

Students will use a hands-on activity in a real life situation to help them determine that a glass can be misleading.  Students will discover a larger glass does not necessarily equate to more volume.  Students will discover in a hands-on fashion the meaning of volume.
