FOCUS THIS WEEK:

Week 6:    V.B.3 uses informal strategies to share or divide up to 10 items equally
  • Teacher has a child helper provide each child in the class a certain number of buttons
  • Teacher encourages children to share a set of hidden objects by covering it with a peice of   paper.  The child then takes the ojbects one at at ime and ahsre them with a friend
  • The child trades small items or sets for a larger one (four small Tootsie Rolls that appear equal to one long Tootsie Roll)
  • Uses language associated with fair-sharing: "one for you" "one for me"


  • Read The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister.  This book talks about a fish sharing its scales.  Then give each student 3 fish and 9 scales to share equally.  Scales can be cut out from different color tissue paper or construction paper.


Fish 25 Clip Art



  • Give students a paper with a drawing of a boy and a girl.  Then give them 8 cookies to share equally.  Students cut and glue four cookies on top or next to the boy and four cookies next to por on top of the girl.

FOCUS THIS WEEK:

Week 5:    V.D.2  recognize how much can be placed within an object

Estimation : Teach estimation with three dimensional examples

Teach estimation with three-dimensional examples.Fill three dramatically different sized jars with the same quantity of jelly beans, rice, buttons or sand.  Ask the children to guess or estimate which one contains the most.  Discuss how much each container could hold and compare the capacity of each jar.  Pour the contents of the jar into measuring cupsto show how the capacity cant trick us. 


Volume :  

The amount of water that can fit in different-sized containers will sometimes surprise children, when learning about volume.Use different sized cups to demonstrate volume for the children.  Line up cups of varying size.  Be sure to include wide, narrow, short and tall.  Fill two cups at the same time with different amounts of water. Have children guess which cups have the most water.  You can further demonstrate by showing the class what happens when you pour water from one sized glass to another.  If water is too messy you can use rice.
