Showing Results for visual programming

Give students many opportunities to see how visuals can influence a story's meaning. Show off your acting skills and read a great book to help them learn!

Let’s start building numbers! Just as building skyscrapers is a visual representation of mathematics, students will use the visual representation of base-ten blocks to add—or build—onto a two-digit number.

As students re-read nonfiction texts, have them classify visual features and record learnings from the captions.

In this lesson, your students will use visual and hands-on strategies to divide whole numbers with remainders.

What's your favorite fruit? In this lesson, your students will practice important skills by learning to interpret and present data in a visual form.

Students will learn about three nonfiction text features: charts, graphs, and diagrams. They will analyze and interpret the information represented in these visual forms and discover how they aid in the comprehension of nonfiction texts.

Sometimes students struggle with comprehension, and it can be difficult to pinpoint where the breakdown occurs. Help your students make visual summaries on sticky notes in this lesson!

If you can see it, you can achieve it! Use this lesson to teach your students how to use visuals to determine if two fractions are equivalent.

Fractions can be tricky, but looking at them visually can help your students understand them. This lesson will help students with equivalent fractions, number lines, and making real world connections.

Have students “cook” the right blends to make a fantastic word dish with beginning, middle, and ending letter sounds. In this lesson, your students will practice recognizing common CVC words.

This lesson gives students the chance to demonstrate and reinforce their knowledge of sequencing. Have them role play a fantasy text to practice sequencing!

Have your "whole" group get a "piece" of fun in this sweet and tasty math game!

How big is a foot? Students find out to explore how to measure in feet by comparing their own feet to rulers. Then they set off to measure the length and width of the classroom!

Double-digit trouble? No problem! Your students will practice their decomposing and regrouping skills in this lesson.

By analzying picture books, students will make connections between the text and the illustrations of a story. They will compare and contrast the text and the illustrations and reflect upon how they impact their comprehension of a text.

Help your students get creative as they apply multiplication skills to find the area of a community garden of their own design! In this lesson, students will practice finding the area of a rectangle within a real-world context.

Not all nonfiction texts on the same topic are created equal! Using this lesson plan, your class will become familiar with nonfiction features by comparing and contrasting texts on a shared topic.

Your students will “eat up” this salad of sight words! In this lesson, your students will practice recognizing words that are tricky to spell.

Let’s get reading and writing! In this lesson, students learn to form and recognize regular plural nouns. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Students will work with counting collections to write sentences about the objects they count.

Students will get to explore three-digit numbers through base-ten blocks and written form. Students will get plenty of practice identifying the place values of a number both individually and with the class.

Collect and graph! In this lesson, your students will practice collecting, organizing, and interpreting data by using real life examples.

Use this lesson to review three-digit addition strategies including base-ten drawings, number lines, and the standard algorithm.

In this lesson, students will construct their own number lines and bar models to find equivalent fractions.

When reading, we all encounter unknown words at times. But how do we figure them out? In this lesson, students learn how to become a “human dictionary” by using a variety of strategies to figure out the meaning of unknown words.

Build words with this fun lesson for emergent readers. Using beads and pipe cleaners, your students will enjoy working with manipulatives to create three- and four-letter words!

This lesson introduces students to a variety of resources that they can use when doing research. It will also help them differentiate between print and digital sources and how to use each.

What the character will do next? Designed to teach students the skill of predicting characters’ actions, this lesson guides students to use clues and evidence from the text to make their predictions. Let’s follow those clues!

In this lesson, students will learn how to add a one-digit number to a two-digit number. This will help students build upon the skills needed for regrouping larger numbers.

Students will learn to model mixed number subtraction with manipulatives using this hands-on lesson plan.

Use this lesson to introduce composing and decomposing as part of your students’ addition and subtraction toolkits.
