This article discusses Project FeederWatch, a real-time citizen science project, and how elementary teachers can use this bird data to integrate math lessons and concepts.

The Everyday Mathematics curriculum does not teach concepts in the historical unit-by-unit format.  Rather, key concepts are introduced and revisited in several units throughout the year.  The focus on returning to concept strands is referred to as "spiralling."  The spiral strand targeted in this unit is focussed on data collection and representation.  Students will learn how to represent data on (and read data from) charts and graphs.

This is a hands-on lesson that uses science and the steps of the Engineering Design Process to determine important properties in sail design materials and learn how to harness wind power. Students will learn that a problem can be solved in different ways using different materials.

Students will create an inquiry based mini lab given materials in the area of plant science. Students will work together to design protocols, collect data, and analyze results. Lesson 2 out of 4

Through this website students can learn about seeds and how they grow by conducting their own plant investigation and sharing their thoughts with other kids.

In this lesson, students generate "getting to know you" questions, which lead to both numerical and categorical data. Students collect data from classmates, organize the data, and answer questions about it. Questions may include: How many siblings do you have? Do you like ice cream.

This packet contains exit tickets for the standard MD.4. Exit tickets are written responses to questions posed at the end of a lesson. They are brief assessments which allow the teacher to determine student understanding of the concepts and skills taught that day. At the beginning of the year, or a blank copy of the exit ticket may need to be displayed on the board and read aloud to students.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.A Common Formative Assessment (CFA) provides a snapshot of current student understanding. It serves as a checkpoint, and may be used to guide future whole and small group instruction. This CFA addresses 2nd grade, Cluster 7 standards.  Answer key is provided.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.  In this lesson, students will create a survey question, collect data, create a bar graph, write and answer questions about the collected data.  This lesson may take two days to complete.  Printable, samples of student work, sample anchor charts, and extension ideas are included within this lesson.

This resource is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. This resource was created to provide formative assessment items for teachers that are rigorous. It aligns to Question 1. Teachers can give the assessment at one time, or they can split the assessment up and give 1 or 2 items at a time. This can be remixed, but please keep the rigor of the items high, and include an answer key!

This lesson is focused around developing a mathematical community at the beginning of the school year. While this lesson addresses standard NC.3.MD.3, the primary goal is for students to learn how to work with classmates on activities related to counting and number sense and engage in real-world math situations.
