Hello Addition unit. We can use multiple measures to analyze a quantity, then add it to another to compose a new quantity using either abstract or concrete means. And once we're done explaining that way, we can explore and explain another way. Well....we're on our way there.
Here was a short-and-sweet Math Talk to review the concepts of same as, less than and greater than we used today. I didn't even begin an anchor chart, since this was really just re-teaching, but feel free to interject one for your lesson as needed. You just need space and some classroom management norms for kids walking and talking all around the classroom.
Find Someone Who: Has the same length foot as your foot
Find Someone Who: Has a different length foot as your foot and tell us how your feet are different lengths....Student response: My foot is longer/greater/shorter than my partner's foot.
Find Someone Who: Has the same armspan as you
And so on, and so (much math language between students) forth. It was fun, experiential, student centered and packed with rich language. Try it with your class! Have other ways to do it too?
