This is a remix of Which number is greater?  Which number is less?  How do you know? from Illustrative Mathematics,  https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/1210.The lesson supports sol K.2a.  The purpose of this activity is for students to explain how they know one quantity is greater or less than another quantity.  The teacher demonstrates whole group before students play with partners and encourages student talk. 

This resource is a remix of the original lesson (https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/826). As per Illustrative mathematics, the purpose of this task is for students to see different ways of partitioning a figure into two or more equal shares, by which we mean decomposing the figure into "pieces" with equal area.Suggested modifications -The modifications made to the original resource allows flexibility to teachers in instruction.The lesson plan focuses on helping students understand the idea of equivalent fractions and encourages cooperative learning to have a mathematical discourse about unit fractions.Teachers can incorporate fraction circle manipulatives, that will provide students with a hands-on active learning experience. Enrichment activity- Teachers can use art to allow the student to demonstrate creativity as they learn about fractions. Students can design or illustrate a pattern containing the conceptual concept.    

This is a writing prompt choice board intended to be used in a writing center or station. In my classroom we typically use one choice board per week. Students choose up to 4 items to complete for the week. I do 4 items to give students time to finish incomplete work on Fridays, to work on final drafts, to edit a selected item, or to share their writing with peers. You can make the rules for your classroom to best suit your teaching style and your student's needs.

The choice board includes 8 prompts and one Student Choice square based on Data and Analysis standards for first grade.

Please feel free to make a copy of the choice board and edit it to meet your specifications.
