Geometry all around us is an excellent add on to your geometry unit. For many of your students, geometry is purely and solely used and heard of in Math. It is something they learn in school and is often set as homework. Most students do not see the relevance of geometry outside of the classroom. Therefor this project has been designed for students to gain an insight into the world of geometry our everyday lives in our natural and man-made world. Goal Working in small groups of 4 or 6, your students will create a collage showing examples of geometry in the world. They will also be writing a summary of their collages, highlighting examples of geometric shapes and principles. ** Skills your students will cover Identifying examples of polygons and other geometric shapes in the natural and man-made world Classifying line segments as parallel or perpendicular Classifying two-dimensional shapes by their sides and angles Communicating Math ideas Using technology (if you are using a computer) Identifying line and rotational symmetry Please note: Watermarks/blurred images will not be in your downloaded file!

Number cards are ideal for display and for support with counting. They are best printed on card stock and laminated for durability. Recognizing numbers and knowing their names is an important first step in learning mathematics, but math education experts say that it’s also very important for children to develop number sense: the ability to relate number symbols (for example, 1, 2, and 3) to the amounts they stand for. Number sense includes these skills: Comparing quantities (more than and less than) Putting numbers in order Number cards are a great way to learn this. In addition to understanding the importance of number sense, math educators must also recognize that when children are learning the meanings of the number symbols 1, 2, 3, and so on, they are actually learning several different ideas at the same time. For example, to understand the meaning of the symbol 2, a child would need to grasp all of these facts: The symbol 2 stands for the spoken word “two”. The symbol 2 can stand for a certain number of objects. The symbol 2 can stand for the second position in a sequence. When counting, 2 comes after 1 and before 3. The written word two also stands for the spoken word “two”, so 2 and two mean the same thing. This set of number cards 1 to 50 displays the number words in English and Spanish. Print in color or black and white. Two games are also included.

This verb game has been created to help with the understanding of what a verb is. This is an ideal, fun and interactive way to learn or reinforce. This verb game can be played as pairs, in small groups or by splitting your class into equal groups. How to play this verb game? Students can play this in pair, in small groups or as a whole class activity. Using your group cards, write your names on the group you are in. You have two minutes to complete each round. Each group takes it in turns in picking a place card. Your teacher will instruct you on which group and who is picking the card. The group with the most points at the end wins. Your teacher will decide how many rounds you are playing. When a Place card is picked up – Each group must write down as many verbs as possible in the 2 minute time allowed. After the two minutes is up each group checks with their group members to make sure there is no repeated verbs. No matching words are allowed. The group with the most verbs wins a point. The group with the most points at the end of all rounds wins. Teachers Notes You will need to print the place cards – to save on paper you can print back to back. To make the game a little more visually appealing you can print the cards with the name ‘place card’ on them on color card/paper. I recommend printing on card and laminating as this will ensure longer usage of the activity. There are 4 group cards with lines for students to write their names. There is room for 8 names on each group card. I recommend these are printed on card and laminated. Your students can then use dry erasers to write the names. I recommend using a two minute timer for this game. I have found this to be the more realistic time frame and gives enough time for the competition feel. You can expand or decrease this time. I have found that selecting the students your self causes less arguments on whose going first. However, feel free to use a method that works best with your kiddos.

Are you interested in teaching your middle school students about the fascinating world of ecosystems? Look no further than our comprehensive unit study! Our unit study on ecosystems is designed for grades 6-8 and takes an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Over the course of 4-6 weeks, students will engage in hands-on activities and experiments that will deepen their understanding of five key lessons related to ecosystems. Here are the five key lessons that students will learn: Introduction to Ecosystems: Students will learn what an ecosystem is and the different types of ecosystems that exist on Earth. They will also explore the relationships between living and nonliving things within an ecosystem. Energy Flow in Ecosystems: Students will learn about food chains and food webs, as well as the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem. They will also investigate how energy moves through an ecosystem. Biomes: Students will learn about the different biomes that exist on Earth, such as deserts, tundra, and rainforests. They will explore the unique characteristics of each biome and the plants and animals that call them home. Human Impact on Ecosystems: Students will learn about the ways in which human activity can impact ecosystems, both positively and negatively. They will investigate issues such as pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change. Conservation and Restoration of Ecosystems: Students will learn about the importance of preserving ecosystems and the various strategies that can be used to restore damaged ecosystems. Throughout the unit study, students will engage in a variety of activities and experiments that will reinforce their learning and deepen their understanding of ecosystems. These activities include: Creating their own mini-ecosystems and observing the interactions between living and nonliving things Investigating the energy flow in a food web using a simulation game Conducting research on a particular biome and creating a multimedia presentation to share their findings Analyzing data on the impact of human activity on ecosystems and proposing solutions to address these issues Participating in a service learning project to help restore a damaged ecosystem in their community By the end of this unit study, your students will have a deep understanding of ecosystems and the interconnectedness of living and nonliving things within them. They will also develop critical thinking skills and an appreciation for the importance of preserving and restoring our planet’s ecosystems. Don’t miss out on this engaging and comprehensive unit study!
