Help Leo Sort Colors - early sorting activity
Special Resources, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Life Skills, Science, Basic Science, Math, Early Math, Creative Arts, Art, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Activities
In this activity the learner will be sorting COLORS and is a nice beginner activity for the early learner. It is also great to use with a learner who is more advanced but needs a quick activity that he/she can do independently free of errors. This activity that can help develop a learner's cognitive and perceptual abilities involves sorting colors. The activity can begin by providing the learner with a set of sorting cards that feature different colors (red, blue, green, yellow, etc.). The learner is then asked to sort the cards either by color. For example, the teacher might show the learner a green card and ask the learner to sort all the green cards into one pile, or all the red cards into another pile. The activity can be tailored to the learner's level of ability, gradually introducing more complex colors as the learner becomes more adept at sorting. For younger learners, the cards can feature primary colors, while older learners can be challenged with a more wider range of colors. This activity can be conducted individually or in a group setting, allowing learners to learn from each other and collaborate as they work through the sorting process. It is also a fun and engaging way for learners to develop their sorting skills, which can have practical applications in a variety of fields such as science, engineering, and computer programming. This activity is easy to create. Print, laminate, cut (once) and velcro. You can use a coil binding machine to create a coil bound activity book, or you can use a three hold punch and place in a binder or use binder clips for many years of teaching and learning.

Many of our students love learning in a variety of ways and music is one of those! We can retain information better when we hear it through songs and visual videos. This is one reason we like to incorporate music in our learning environments. We don’t have to limit music to music class only for our students. In my store, you’ll find a wide array of music resources that students will love to learn from. This is a music video for your math students in 4th – 6th grade. The title of this song is “Bump It.” This is a song and video that will have students learn about rounding. This video provides explanations and many examples to support student learning. You can implement this video at the introduction of teaching this math skill. The objective is for students to apply their understanding of place value to correctly round numbers. This would be a song that I play multiple times for my students across the course of this unit . It is an MP4 file, so you can download it and have the option of embedding it into any slideshow you may be using for instruction. I hope you enjoy!

Relationship Between Area and Perimeter: Math Inquiry Prompt
Math, Geometry, Measurements, Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities, Worksheets
Here’s a ready-to-go math inquiry activity for your geometry unit. Students are tasked with drawing all the rectangles they can create with a specific area (24 units squared). Then, they calculate the perimeter of each rectangle. Finally, a prompt helps them notice the relationship between area and perimeter. Shapes that are longer and thinner will have a larger perimeter than other shapes with the same area. How to Use: Use this activity once your students have already had some practice calculating area and perimeter of rectangles. You could do a quick mini lesson about finding factors before handing out this activity , as your students need to determine the factors of 24 to complete this task (1x24, 2x12, 3x8 4x6). I let students work in pairs or small groups to complete this task as I want them talking about their math ideas! Grades to Use With: This math project is designed for students in grades 3-6 who are learning about area and perimeter of right-angle shapes (rectangles). In the USA, this is in Common Core Standards in the third grade and in British Columbia, Canada, it is addressed in Grade 5. What's Included: 2 Page PDF: Student worksheet and Complete Answer Key If you enjoy this math project, check out others in my store! I love to design engaging math activities that show students how the skills they learn in the classroom are actually extremely helpful in their everyday lives. Math is everywhere!
