Math Action Thursday: 4.Md.A.1 (Measurement Units--Large To Small) & Thanksgiving Pb Giveaway

For today's MaTh I'm working amongst CCSS 4.MD.A.1!  It states...

Know relative sizes of mensuration units inside 1 organisation of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a unmarried organisation of measurement, limited measurements inwards a larger unit of measurement inwards price of a smaller unit. Record mensuration equivalents inwards a two-column table. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times equally long equally 1 in. Express the length of a iv ft serpent equally 48 in. Generate a conversion tabular array for feet in addition to inches listing the set out pairs (1, 12), (2, 24), (3, 36), ...

Maybe I am weird, but when I was a tyke I loved measuring things.  I'd mensurate stuff (I liked to sew together creations), blocks or pieces of woods in addition to then I could build it into something, or fifty-fifty structure newspaper (so that when I made my brownish luncheon handbag puppets, the newspaper wearing clothing would check but right).  Just for kicks, I remembered that I kept a span of those brownish newspaper handbag people I used to make.  I mean value I made these when I was vii or 8.

For this action it is expert for kids to practise using their rulers.  

Supplies:  At to the lowest degree 1 luncheon sack per student, enough of structure paper, pencil, scissors, glue, in addition to ruler.  Have a stopwatch if yous do the timing option.

• Kids mensurate the segments of the sack they conception on roofing amongst structure newspaper in addition to tape it on a slice of paper.  For an extra bonus yous tin flame convey a stopwatch.
• Start the stopwatch.  Using the at nowadays border of the ruler, depict the size needed in addition to cutting it out.
• Glue on the piece.  Check the stopwatch in addition to tape the fourth dimension it took to do the base of operations of your puppet.
• Start the stopwatch again.  Cut in addition to add together details of your choice.  Stop the stopwatch when yous are done.

I made the following freebie if yous wanted to do this activity.

I would honey to a greater extent than followers on my TpT in addition to TN sites if yous similar what yous run into : )

How do yous learn this Common Core standard?  I had a bunch of other ideas, but I gauge all the other ones volition convey to expression until unopen to other day.

Math Activeness Thursday: 4.Md.C.5 & 4.Md.C.6

Hey there, fourth dimension for MaTh!  4th score focus this month, thence link upwards whatever posts if yous bring them or desire to brand i : )

4.MD.C.5 together with 4.MD.C.6 are all virtually geometric criterion alongside a focus on angles--knowing how to mensurate angles together with brand them.

For this activeness I got out my handy Spiral Draw (Klutz) book together with started playing around.

After I drew i of the designs I decided to explore it.

(unfortunately my motion painting from this post got deleted.  Hopefully I tin supervene upon them soon)

I wondered how far apart each rotation was.  I couldn't abide by a protractor, but I did bring a correct angle.  I know a correct angle is ninety degrees, thence I counted how many times at that topographic point was a tip (rotation) inwards that angle.  It looked similar just 9, pregnant it would endure 10 degrees.

But then, I necessitate to know if it is actually 10 degrees each.  I tried some other design...also had nine points inwards ninety degrees.

If it is x degrees just at that topographic point would endure 36 tips or points simply about the whole circumference.  Turns out at that topographic point were alone 35, thence together with then I bring the work 360 divided yesteryear 35.

That turned out to endure 10.28...

So, without a protractor nosotros were able to figure out the angles for this circular scenario.  A protractor comes inwards handy when drawing angles alongside a specific score though.

Have fun alongside angles together with endeavor to utilise them to everyday experiences...  Can your students figure out how many degrees apart the minutes are inwards a clock face?  Pick a fourth dimension together with abide by out how many degrees at that topographic point are betwixt the hr manus together with infinitesimal hand.

Thanks for joining me together with run across yous adjacent calendar week : )
