Number Sense, Concepts, and
Operations
– Standard 1: The student understands the different ways
numbers are represented and used in the real world.
– Standard 2: The student understands number systems.
– Standard 3: The student understands the effects of operations
on numbers and the relationships among these operations,
selects appropriate operations, and computers for problem
solving.
– Standard 4: The student uses estimation in problem solving
and computation.
– Standard 5: The student understands and applies theories
related to numbers.
Instructional programs from
prekindergarten through grade 12
should enable all students to –
• understand numbers, ways of representing
numbers, relationships among numbers, and
number systems;
• understand meanings of operations and how they
relate to one another;
• compute fluently and make reasonable estimates.
Here is some examples of how you can
bring the number sense strand to life.
This is an activity that was provided for
the students to use number sense and
fish for facts
Measurement
– Standard 1: The student measures quantities in the real world
and uses the measures to solve problems.
– Standard 2: The student compares, contrasts, and converts
within systems of measurement (both standard/nonstandard
and metric/customary).
– Standard 3: The student estimates measurements in realworld problem situations
– Standard 4: The student selects and uses appropriate units
and instruments for measurement
– To achieve the degree of precision and accuracy required in
real-world situations.
The instructional programs from
prekindergarten through grade 12
should enable all students to:
• understand measurable attributes of objects and
the units, systems, and process of measurement;
• apply appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas
to determine measurements.
Here are some examples of projects
that deal with measurement:
Activity Tables are a wonderful way to
bring learning to life and teach the
standards
This activity was one where students were asked to
estimate the length of each beanie baby. Then they
were asked to measure each one, and then subtract
the estimate from the actual measure.
This activity was one that asked students to estimate the
measurement of their arm span. Then students were to actually
measure the arm span. An extension to this activity was to have
2 or more students to find the average measurement of their
arm spans.
Geometry and Spatial Sense
• Standard 1: The student describes, draws,
identifies , and analyzes two- and threedimensional shapes.
• Standard 2: The student visualizes and illustrates
ways in which shapes can be combined,
subdivided, and changed.
• Standard 3: The student uses coordinate
geometry to locate objects in both two and three
dimensions and to describe objects algebraically.
Geometry Standard
• Instructional programs from prekindergarten through grade
12 should enable all students to –
– analyze characteristics and properties for two-and threedimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical
arguments about geometric relationships;
– specify locations and describe spatial relationships using
coordinate geometry and other representational systems;
– apply transformations and use symmetry to analyze
mathematical situations;
– use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling
to solve problems.
Here are some projects that deal with
the Geometry and Spatial Sense
strands
Activity tables also brought this strand
to life here are some wonderful
examples.
This activity allows the students to review the terms
right angle, obtuse angle, and acute angle. This is
done by giving each student two coffee stirrers and
one twistie tie. They attach the stirrers and then have
their own angle measurer.
These students are creating their own
geometric designs by using pattern
blocks.
Students are building with polydrons, to
create geometric solids.
Students are building tetrahedrons
Students were given a puzzling
question dealing with pattern blocks ,
and then asked to solve the question.
Algebraic Thinking:
• Standard 1: The students describes, analyzes,
and generalizes a wide variety of patterns,
relations, and functions.
• Standard2: The student uses expressions,
equations, inequalities, graphs, and formulas to
represent and interpret situations.
Algebra standard:
• Instructional programs from pre-kindergarten
through grade 12 should enable all students to– understand patterns, relations, and functions
– represent and analyze mathematical situations and
structures using algebraic symbols;
– use mathematical models to represent and understand
quantitative relationships;
– analyze change in various contexts.
The following are some examples to
activities that show algebra
Some examples for activity tables that
teach algebra are:
• Hands-On Equations
• Repeat the pattern
• Algeblocks
Data Analysis and Probability
• Standard 1: The student understands and uses
the tools of data analysis for managing
information.
• Standard 2: The student identifies patterns and
makes predictions from an orderly display of data
using concepts of probability and statistics.
• Standard 3: The student uses statistical methods
to make inferences and valid arguments about
real-world situations.
Data Analysis and Probability
• Instructional programs from pre-kindergarten through
grade 12 should enable all students to –
• formulate questions that can be addressed with data and
collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them;
• select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze
date;
• develop and evaluate inferences and predictions that are
based on data;
• understand and apply basic concepts of probability.
Here are many examples of how data
analysis and probability are used to
create projects
Some activities that could be done to
teach this standard could be:
• Build a Pictograph using candy.
• Make a large circle graph by using Smarties
candies• Read a graph
