Math Time with Mrs. Harrigan

  Personal Objective :  This game is created for first and second grade students to strengthen their problem solving skills. Students will engage by rolling the die, choosing a card, and adding the two numbers together to get any sum (no higher than 10). This game experience allows up to four players at a time and each player is color coordinated.  Common Core Standard(s): CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A1-  Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.O.B.3- Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.B.2- Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.  By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers. Mathematical Practice Standards MP6. Attend to precision MP8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning Materials & Preparation Math Space "Odessy" Game Board Dice Game Instructions: Select a game piece  . Roll the di

  Personal Objective :  This lesson is created to teach Pre-kindergarten/Kindergarten students to understand measurement. Measurement is all about comparisons. Therefore students will engage in an activity where they will learn to look and two pictures and decipher between bigger, longer, shorter, more, and less.  Common Core Standard: PK.MATH.10. [NY-PK.MD.1.] Identifies measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight, and describes them using appropriate vocabulary (e.g., small, big, short, tall, empty, full, heavy, light)  Mathematical Practice Standards MP4. Model with Mathematics MP5. Use appropriate tools strategically Materials & Preparation Dry Erase Board/Marker Measure Up Worksheet Pencil Activity: 1. I will stand in the front of the classroom and using a dry erase board and marker I will draw on pictures that detail ("longer" or "shorter," "more" or "less" etc.).  2. Next, I will share with students that today we will be
