Take function tables to the next level when you teach your students to generate and plot ordered pairs.

Students will make a book of homographs using pictures as definitions in order to have a visual connection of the multiple meanings one word can have.

In this lesson, students will look at picture clues to determine the topic of texts. ELs will build vocabulary and language skills by working with partners to discuss and represent texts using drawings.

Students will begin to calculate volume of different rectangular prisms using base ten cubes and then transition to using the formula V = L x W x H. Students will then practice using the legendary fifth grade activity, Cootie Catchers.

Use this lesson to reinforce using sentence level context clues to decode challenging words in a nonfiction text. This can be used as a stand alone activity or a support the Using Context Clues to Understand Word Meanings lesson.

Students will find volume for rectangular prisms by applying the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h.

Students will engage their analytical skills and literacy skills as they compare books within a series. The central activity in this lesson will have students identifying, comparing, and contrasting the shared features of books in a series.

Students will apply the formula V = l × w × h to find the volume for rectangular prisms in the context of solving real-world problems.
