Extractions: Lesson Plan: Learning Objectives: P-1 - establish an understanding of a problem P-5 - explain how the solution was obtained P-2 - solve problems N-12 - identify characteristics P-3 - apply estimation strategies N-13 - classify information P-4 - solve a variety of types of problems N-38 - write equivalent expression for a number N C Exploring: Concept Attainment - Explain to students that you would like them to be "detectives". They must examine the "clues" to figure out what you are thinking. You are going to show them examples (YES's) of what you are thinking along with non examples (NO's). From these examples they must "discover" what it is you are thinking. You will give them a start by placing a few "yes's" and "no's" on the chart. after that you want them to indicate "yes" or "no" by thumb up or down. Begin showing pictures of animals. Explain that if they think they know the idea they are not to tell anyone else. Show one mammal (Yes), one other (No), then present pictures randomly.

Extractions: Lesson Plans Grades 4-5 The following lessons will help fulfill the following requirements from the Indiana Curriculum Proficiency Guides: SCIENCE: The Living Environment *The Evolution of Life Science Habits of Mind *Manipulation and Observation *Computation and Estimation MATH: Develop Measurement Skills Recognize and Make Connections SOCIAL STUDIES: Inquiry Skills *Construct simple maps, time lines, charts and graphs LANGUAGE ARTS: Use prior knowledge and content area information to reason, apply concepts and make critical judgments Objectives: Students will place events in their own lives in sequence and assign relative times to each event. They will develop an understanding of relative and numerical time and will become familiar with the methods used by scientists to develop the Geologic Time Scale. Activities: Begin by asking students as a whole class to brainstorm some major events in their lives and write these on the board. You might get them started by listing one or two examples such as when you were born, when you lost your first tooth, etc. Continue listing on board until there is a good list of possibilities for them to work with.

Explain definition of an inductive proof: An inductive proof is where mathematical statements are justified by examples. We look at a data set and based on a characteristic of the data set believe that the characteristic is proven by the fact that it is always present in our data set. Our inductive proof is made stronger by adding elements to our data set that continue to have the characteristic. If we ever find an element of our data set that does not have the characteristic our inductive proof is null and void!
Compare And Order Whole Numbers Compare and Order whole numbers. This lesson plan corresponds to SpecificCurriculum Outcome Grade 4 A4. Objectives The students http://www.canadianlessonplans.com/aclp/math/level_4/lesson_plans/a4.html
Extractions: What are the highest and lowest possible numbers you can make with the 5 digits? Have five students position one number each from the numbers in step #1 and step #3 on the number line already drawn on the board. On an index card, each student will write down four 5-digit numbers in random order and exchange cards with a neighbour. The students will order the numbers on the cards received, record their names, and pass the cards in.
TeacherSource . Math . Asia . Abacus . PBS Note The Japanese abacus will be used for all activities in this lesson. Additionof whole numbers can be solved by using one or more of the following four http://www.pbs.org/teachersource/mathline/concepts/asia/activity1.shtm
Extractions: Warm-Up Activity: Display the abacus and share with the students how to display numbers and add. Allow students time to explore with the abacus. Using an actual abacus is the most effective way to show how to display numbers and add whole numbers. If you do not have an abacus, consider finding one or using a transparency of one on the overhead. When you are showing the approaches for adding, if you do not have an abacus, students can use yarn and counters to represent the moves.
Extractions: Paper and pencils Newsprint and markers Math Investigations I video and VCR Begin by asking students how they think math is used in daily life. Suggest that math is used in cooking and baking. Fore example, to bake chocolate chip cookies, it is important to follow the directions in the recipe and measure the correct amounts of ingredients. Measuring requires using math. Develop a class list of topic areas that make use of math. Examples include the following:

Extractions: A set of 'follow me' cards to use in the mental starter or plenary section of your Numeracy lesson. Distribute the cards to the children. The teacher starts by reading the number from the teacher card. The child with that number on their card must respond by reading out the second number on their card. A fun way to reinforce reading numbers to 10,000 written in figures.
