This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the 1st Grade Math content.
This resource accompanies our Rethink 1st Grade Math Measurement & Data unit. It includes ideas for use, ways to support exceptional children, ways to extend learning, digital resources and tools, tips for supporting English Language Learners and students with visual and hearing impairments. There are also ideas for offline learning.
This unit was created by the Rethink Education Content Development Team. This course is aligned to the NC Standards for 1st Grade Math for Measurement & Data.
In this video segment from Cyberchase, Matt and Inez have to choose a cage for Spout the Whale. The cages they find in a store come in different sizes and Matt and Inez are not sure of Spout?s exact size. They use estimation and non-standard measurements to estimate Spout's size and select the best cage. Teaching tips are also provided that discuss frame, focus and follow-up suggestions for using this video in a math lesson.
Lesson plan using a Cyberchase activity where students learn about body matches, measuring one part of the body using another body part. They learn about non-standard measures and relative measurement. This activity is motivated by a Cyberchase episode in which the CyberSquad must act as crime scene experts to find out who kidnapped Chewcrocca, a giant cybercrocodile.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach first graders about multiple object lengths (english measurement).
Students work together using their knowledge of grouping tens to create links of tens, combine and compare their links, then realize that if they combine all of their links this could create enough “snow” to build a snowman in the classroom!
In this lesson, students order, measure, and compare the length of objects before and after measuring with centimeter cubes, solving "compare with difference unknown" word problems.
Grade 1 Module 3: Ordering and Comparing Length Measurements as Numbers. Contains 13 Lessons.
In this Kahn Academy interactive, students will compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.
In this assessment task, students compare and order three objects by length.
This unit of 1 measurement lessons explores comparing and ordering objects by length through 5 hands-on activities.
This document is the About the Cluster document created by the authors of the NC2ML Instructional Frameworks. Read this document prior to teaching the cluster in order to get insight into the clustering of the standards, mathematics to be taught, and important considerations.
This document is not remixable since the document has been written by creators of the NC2ML Instructional Frameworks.
This unit of 1 Number and Operation lessons explores place value through 3 hands-on activities.
In this Khan Academy interactive, students will order three objects by length.
Students take scoops of snap cubes, stack the cubes, and order the lengths from shortest to tallest.
Lesson plan using a Cyberchase activity, gives students practice in estimating heights and lengths of objects when the measurement tools are not rulers. Two different kinds of measurement units allow students to measure by repeating the measurement with a single smaller object, and to measure with an object that is composed of multiple repeating units.
This resource is part of Tools4NCTeachers.
This file contains directions and materials for ALL Tools4NCTeachers Math Games.
Math games are fun, motivating, and provide opportunities for students to build number concepts, reasoning, and fluency. These games may be used as math stations or as whole group learning opportunities.
The Family Letters are intended to be sent home at the beginning and middle of the cluster. They explain big ideas of the cluster using family-friendly language. Families can also find tips for working with their children at home, digital games, videos, and books. This file contains both English and Spanish versions of the Family Letters.
The intended purpose of this document is to provide teachers with a tool to determine student understanding and suggest instructional moves that may help guide a student forward in their learning. It is not an exhaustive list of strategies.
