Students determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or pull by designing and creating a ramp.  They test their design, make improvements and redesign their ramp before retesting.  They graph their data to determine which ramp makes their ball hit their intended target.

Comparing two sets using the words more, fewer, and sameMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 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 the base ten blocks to build the number given. Teachers may use this to introduce, model, as guided practice or as an independent activity for students to show what they know.

Students will play the Game “Cheese Chase” where they learn about moving horizontally and vertically on a grid, which will be followed up by a variety of 40 gameboards where the students learn about naming cells in a spreadsheet. There are five activities where the students make bar graphs after interpreting data from a spreadsheet.

This lesson is part of the Virginia K-12 Computer Science Pipeline which is partly funded through a GO Virginia grant in partnership with Chesapeake Public Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools, and the Loudoun Education Foundation.  During this lesson, students will program a Bee-Bot (or similar robot) to locate fraction models. 

Students will use Bee-bots to code the robots to a value matching their selected coin card. They’ll count the coins, create a code with arrow cards, and navigate the Bee-bot from the start box to the designated value. After reaching the target, they’ll explain their coding and counting choices. Then, they’ll return to start, allowing their partner to take a turn. This activity is also compatible with the Learning Resources Code and Go Mouse.

Introducing Data collection and Analysis:
This activity include a data collection sheet and questions to analyze the data.
The activity can be done as a whole group, small group, or by individual students.
Estimated time from start to finish is 30-45 minutes based on prior knowledge.

In this lesson students will collect items in nature. They will then count, graph, and analyze the data they collected. The lesson is set up to use a bar graph, but any graph can be used.

This is a remix of Color Week from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/1110.   The purpose of this activity is to give students practice in collecting data and answering questions related to the gathered data that is displayed in a picture graph to support sol K.11a and K.11b.  Students wear a different color shirt each week to represent the color of the week, collect the data by coloring a shirt, place it on the graph, and count how many were worn of that color. 

This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. In this session, students compare fractions using words and symbols for greater than, less than, and equal too.

The lesson is for comparing number values 1 through 10. It gives students practice with concrete objects and placing them in order from least to greatest and greatest to least. 

You can play this game to practice 3.1c Comparing Numbers in a fun and interactive format. Students can battle each other to see who can answer the questions the quickest. Boys can play against girls or any groups can be made.
