Your home team can set the stage for students to make math connections. Students will record wins and losses in different formats to discover connections between many of the concepts taught earlier in the year. This lesson will provide daily and weekly practice with patterns, addition and subtraction equations, number models and math communication.

Project this lesson on a whiteboard and watch your students “number line dance” their way to fluency in estimation of products. The lesson is scaffolded to start students finding basic multiplication facts on a number line and ends with students estimating four digit products on a number line. Use the lesson to teach estimation of products or as a culmination of your own estimation of products lesson.

If a tree could talk, we could ask it how old it is. Here is a mathematical way to estimate the age of your schoolyard trees. Students will measure circumference of trees in order to find diameter and calculate age of local trees using a growth rate table.
6-8, 9-12
Use tiles to represent variables and constants, learn how to represent
and solve algebra problem. Solve equations, substitute in variable
expressions, and expand and factor.
Pre-K-2, 3-5
Learn how to count, collect, exchange, and make change for coins by manipulating coins using an array representation.

Dividing Numbers into Two Factors and Building Arrays to Represent Each Factorization
3-5, 6-8
Explore different representations for fractions including improper
fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percentages. Additionally, there
are length, area, region, and set models.
