Collaborative+Math+Lessons

** Students were placed in leveled groups and given activities according to their ability. They were given simple directions: measure, order, and compare objects and document their progress with the iPod camera. Later they would use the pictures, write about what they did, and then create books. Below are photos showing samples of the students' work. **









** Below are photos of the students are conducting a survey on what food classmates would choose if they had to eat 100 pieces of it. Choices are cookies, pizza slices, doughnuts, gummy bears, french fries, and other foods. They collected votes, wrote tallies, transferred the data to a graph, and then answered questions about the data. **

** The example below is a lesson I created to give extra practice in understanding //more, less,// and //equal//. This is something my students were struggling with.

Plus, they had a lot of fun!! ** ** Below is the lesson and the worksheet. ** ** Note: the worksheet is not the same as the original I created. I had to create another one because I couldn't find my original. ** Organizer: Lesson:
