This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: Materials - 2 clear plastic cups for each pair of students - 4 bean seeds for each pair - soil - unifix cubes - a plant or math journal to record data ...

This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the 1st Grade Math content. Within the folder you will access Parent Guide PDFs in FIVE Languages: Arabic, English, Hindi, Spanish, and Vietnamese to help on-going communication with caregivers. 

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. 

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) videos are designed to support states, schools, and teachers in the implementation of selected math standards. Each video is an audiovisual resource that focuses on one or more specific standards through examples and illustrations geared to enhancing understanding. The intent of each content-focused video is to clarify the meaning of the individual standard rather than to be a guide on how to teach each standard, although the examples can be adapted for instructional use.

First grade students will work in small group settings to discover how to become an architectural engineer. They will research and demonstrate their knowledge of bridge designs through STEM and drawings. Finally developing a strong infrastructure that will collaboratively fit onto a created setting. Allowing them to present a model of their findings.

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!

This site is a series of video lectures and interactive exercises for teaching basic mathematics skills to first graders. It has separate addition and subtraction skills reviews numbers up to 10, 20, and 100; a section on telling time and reading clocks as well as course material on measurement and geometry.

In this lesson, students measure objects with different non-standard units and standard units simultaneously to see the need to measure with a consistent unit.

Grade 1 Module 3: Ordering and Comparing Length Measurements as Numbers. Contains 13 Lessons.

With this task, students are given various items to measure with unifix or snap cubes. After measuring each object, students record their measurements as “___ cubes long” and draw a picture of the object.

Students work in pairs to measure length by lining up cubes along the longest side of an item. They count and record length by counting the number of cubes.

In this assessment task students are told they are wrapping a present and need to measure ribbon to see how long it is. Students will use different items to measure the length of the ribbon. Students will then write to explain how they used the object to measure the ribbon. An assessment task sheet and a rubric are provided.

In this assessment task students will listen to the story Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. They will be asked to tell what the inchworm is doing and why we measure things. Students will use an inchworm to measure each characters length. Students are then asked to complete a constructed response item explaining how they measured each character. The assessment task sheet inchworms and a rubric are provided.

In this Khan Academy interactive, students will express the length of an object as a whole number of non-standard length units.

In this task students work with partners to measure themselves by laying multiple copies of a shorter object that represents the length unit end to end. It gives students the opportunity to discuss the need to be careful when measuring.

This tasks engages students by having them measure a partner using unifix cubes. Partners measure arms, legs, feet, and hands and record findings on a worksheet.
