This is a computer science lesson plan created by educators in the South Sanpete School District. Students will use seven KEVA planks and their creativity to build items specified by the teacher. The lesson is designed for kindergarten and includes modifications for grades 1-4.
In this game activity students practice comparing shapes and naming something that is alike or different about them.
This challenging problem and brainteaser gives first graders an opportunity to compose and decompose squares.
The DREME Network was created in 2014 to advance the field of early mathematics research and improve young children’s opportunities to develop math skills. The Network focuses on math from birth through age eight years, with an emphasis on the preschool years. Network members and affiliates collaborate to conduct basic and applied research and develop innovative tools that address high-priority early math topics and inform and motivate other researchers, educators, policymakers and the public.
Early math
This task presents students with some creative geometric ways to represent the fraction one half. The goal is both to appeal to students' visual intuition while also providing a hands on activity to decide whether or not two areas are equal.
Early math
This instructional task gives students a hands-on experience with composing and decomposing geometric figures.
This lesson is focused toward 2nd Grade Math - Shapes - using iPad App Keynote. It includes triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. Time frame - 2 hours - can be expanded or reduced, taught and explored over 4 or 5 short lessonsFormat - Planned for face to face - adaptable to virtual environment - Math Talk would need to be face to face or a syncronous lessoniPad App Needed: Keynote

Open Middle tasks provide opportunities for student to approach a mathematical task using different strategies and representations. They can be used as a warm-up/closing activity, as a formative assessment, or to facilitate discourse and discussion and get insite into student thinking and problem solving. These tasks provide a great opportunity for student to engage with the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
