Students will use different terms of measurements to measure dimensions of their apples. Students will use 5 senses to describe their apples.
This set of resources is from Tools 4 NC Teachers.
This file contains a set of 6 lessons to be used during the first week(s) of school to develop students' mathematical mindsets. Lessons include:
Lesson 1: What is Math?
Lesson 2: Mathematicians Work Together
Lesson 3: Mathematicians Cooperate
Lesson 4: Mathematicians Ask Questions
Lesson 5: Mathematicians Learn from Mistakes
Lesson 6: Mathematicians Persevere
In this interactive activity, students select the megalodon's meal by identifying the food choices by size - small, medium, large.
Students discover the scientific basis for the use of inclined planes. Using a spring scale, a bag of rocks and an inclined plane, student groups explore how dragging objects up a slope is easier than lifting them straight up into the air. Also, students are introduced to the scientific method and basic principles of experimentation. To conclude, students imagine and design their own uses for inclined planes.
In this activity using a balance scale students practice weighing items to see how heavy they are. Cubes are used in the balance as units of measure so students may easily count them.
Kindergartners measure each other's height using large building blocks, then visit a 2nd and a 4th grade class to measure those students. They can also measure adults in the school community. Results are displayed in age-appropriate bar graphs (paper cut-outs of miniature building blocks glued on paper to form a bar graph) comparing the different age groups. The activities that comprise this lesson help students develop the concepts and vocabulary to describe, in a non-ambiguous way, how height changes as children get older. The introduction to graphing provides an important foundation for both creating and interpreting graphs in future years.
Students are introduced to the concept of simple tools and how they can make difficult or impossible tasks easier. They begin by investigating the properties of inclined planes and how implementing them can reduce the force necessary to lift objects off the ground.
This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the Kindergarten Math content.
This resource accompanies our Rethink Kindergarten 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 Kindergarten Math for Measurement & Data.
In this lesson, students compare lengths using taller than and shorter than with aligned and non-aligned endpoints.
In this lesson, students compare using heavier than and lighter than with classroom objects.
In this lesson, students compare volume using more than, less than, and the same as by pouring.
In this lesson, students describe measurable attributes of single objects.
Kindergarten Module 3: Comparison of Length, Weight, Capacity and Numbers to 10. Contains 32 lessons.
There are patterns in everything we see. In kindergarten, students begin to learn to recognize basic shapes like circles, ovals, squares and rectangles. They will learn that the shapes often form patterns that can be orderly and sequential and others that might appear to be random. Students will enjoy taking digital pictures of nature and finding the mathematical patterns. They will create a slide show together of the pictures they have taken and identify the patterns in each one.
In this assessment task students are asked to choose an object in the classroom and are asked to tell two ways they can measure the object. Students should use measurement words such as tall, short, long, heavy or light to tell how they can measure the objects weight, height or length. Teachers can assess in whole class or small group. An assessment recording sheet and rubric are provided.
In this lesson, students will select an object in the classroom and talk about how they would measure the object.
Students will describe in their own words how to determine and compare the length/ height attributes of objects.
This kindergarten math unit contains 3 activities that compare and order two or more objects according to length.
