A 4th-grade math lesson using the Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) framework to teach plotting mixed numbers on a number line within a botanist-themed greenhouse setting.
A hands-on lesson focused on comparing and ordering fractions using benchmarks, common numerators, and common denominators through a maritime-themed sorting activity.
A high-energy lesson focused on comparing fractions through a competitive card game and supporting practice activities, perfect for short math rotations.
Students will measure leaf and stem specimens to the nearest 1/8 inch, create line plots to represent their data, and perform addition and subtraction with fractions to compare measurements.
A high-energy math center rotation based on fraction standards NF.1, NF.2, and NF.3, themed around a car racing championship. Students navigate through color-coded 'Speed Zones' to practice equivalence, number lines, and comparison.
A lesson focused on interpreting line plots and performing subtraction with fractional data points, themed around a backyard nature study.
A focused 15-minute measurement practice focusing on real-world word problems involving time, mass, volume, and distance. Students apply the four operations to solve logistics-themed measurement challenges.
A focused lesson on interpreting line plots and performing addition with mixed numbers that have common denominators.
A focused 15-minute practice session on interpreting line plots and adding fractions with like denominators based on data points.
A lesson focused on comparing fractions with identical numerators using visual models and open number lines to understand the relationship between denominator size and fraction value.
A lesson focused on comparing fractions that have the same numerator but different denominators, using visual models and open number lines to build conceptual understanding.
