Obj. 20a, 20b, 22

Instructions:

  1. Let’s gather different collections we can play with.

  2. Let’s put them in different containers and classify them in groups.

  3. Place a ruler, and gather connecting cubes or paper clips to measure.

  4. Let the fun begin!

InterACTions:

  • Let’s go around and collect some items from everyone in the house.

  • How can we classify them? Why? Oh I like your thinking!

  • How many groups did you make? How many items in each group?

  • Let’s use either a ruler or connecting cubes or paper clips to measure our collections?

  • What can we find that is longer than the ruler? What can we find that is shorter than the ruler? What can we now find that is equal to the ruler?

  • Let’s take a piece of paper and make groups. How many were longer, shorter or equal?

  • Let’s create a graph together!

  • Can you make a story about your collections and finding?
