Day 4: Measuring Capacity
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This lesson is Day 1 in a series of 5 lessons around U.S customary measurement.

This video lesson introduces U.S. customary units for measuring capacity (cups, pints, quarts, and gallons). Students examine benchmarks for each unit, and then apply their knowledge of capacity to make lava lamps. To make a lava lamp, students will need: 1 quart-size empty water bottle, 2 cups vegetable oil, 1 cup water, food coloring, 1 alka-seltzer tablet. (All measurements are approximate and may be adjusted based on the capacity of the water bottle).

G4 C8 Lesson- Cutting Strings
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Students will explore patterns by looping a string and determining how many pieces there will be based on the number of cuts made.  Students will create a table for the pattern and analyze the features of the pattern to determine the rule for the pattern.  Students will use a model to consider explicit thinking (what is happening across the columns) versus recursive thinking (down the table columns).
