This Desmos activity has students partiiton a fraction into fourths, model a fraction, and then determine if the fraction is more than, less than, or equal to 1/2 by looking at the denominator.

Comparing and ordering whole numbers - Mathematics 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. 

This is a remix of Comparing Numbers from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/1102.The purpose of this game is for students to practice comparing 3-digit and 4-digit numbers, use the appropriate vocabulary, and symbol to support sol 3.1c.  Games are a great way to have students practice a skill and my students love to play them.  Students work with a partner to compare two numbers, discuss how they know if the first number is greater than, less than, or equal to the second number, and write the symbol. This game would be played after students are familiar with comparing numbers, the vocabulary, and symbols.

Water is a natural resource that is limited and needs to be conserved.  Students will collect data about how much water they are using at home, design a plan to conserve water, implement the plan, and again take data to determine their success.

Description: Water is a natural resource that is limited and needs to be conserved.  Students will collect data about how much water they are using at home, design a plan to conserve water, implement the plan, and again take data to determine their success.

With this lesson, students will practice the Math Standards of Learning around counting and comparing values of money and creating equations while also learning computer science terminology for problem solving. Students will learn to start counting change with the highest value coin possible.

Lesson Delivery: Students will collect weather data for a given city/town from a weather website to analyze and create a graph that displays the change in temperature over a time period (one or twq weeks). Useful Sites: Create a Graph: https://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/Default.aspx Weather Data: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/climate

Students will work in groups to plan the process they will use to first determine the perimeter and then the area of a rectangle. Students will write out a detailed step by step process that can be used in different situations.

Students will explore Virginia and its border states (Maryland, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina) then pick one of them to look at data of the monthly average high and low temperatures. Students will collect the data and use it to create a graph in Google Sheets. The graph will have correct titles and labeling. Students will also learn to predict as well as compare and contrast. This lesson integrates well into Social Studies, Math, Language Arts, Science and Computer Science.
