Financial Literacy: Vacation Math Project: Budgeting, Percentages, Time Zones, and More!
Life Studies, Math, Time, Decimals, Money, Measurements, Finance, Home Economics, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities, Projects
This Financial Literacy: Vacation Math Project will get students excited about using math in everyday life to plan something fun: a vacation! They will plan a personal vacation including a flight, hotel, transportation, food, attractions, shopping and insurance. You can assign students different budgets, start dates, and durations to differentiate, or give everyone the same constraints. Students will have to practice making trade-offs to stick to their budget. Six problem solving questions involving time zones suitcase weight, taxes & fees, timeline, and travel speed are also included. Student Instructions: First, choose your destination: _______________________ How far from your hometown is it? ____________________ How many time zones away from you is it? _________________ Now, research all of the costs involved in your vacation. Make sure to be specific and include all of the taxes and fees in each category too. Grades to Use With: This project is great for the middle grades (5-8) when students are learning about decimal operations, percentages, time zones, and basic speed calculations ( unit rate). It could also work well in a high school special education classroom. Standards: CCSS5.NBT.B.7 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. CCSS6.RP.A.3c Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent. CCSS6.RP.A.3d Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities. CCSSMP4 Model with mathematics. Mathematically proficient students can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace. In early grades, this might be as simple as writing an addition equation to describe a situation. In middle grades, a student might apply proportional reasoning to plan a school event or analyze a problem in the community.

Matching animals - array of 4
Special Resources, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Math, Early Math, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Activities
Match animals in an array of four is an educational activity that involves visual discrimination and matching skills. The activity aims to improve the learner's ability to identify identical objects in a group of different objects. To start with, the learner will be presented with an array of four animals, one of which will be an identical animal for example a horse. The other three animals will be different from the horse and will be easy to distinguish. The learner's task will be to identify and select the horse that is an exact match to the one presented. As the learner gets better at identifying identical objects, you can make the activity more challenging. In a more advanced stage of the activity , the learner will be presented with an array of four horses, but only one of them will be an exact match to the one presented. The other horses will have subtle differences, such as different colors, patterns, or sizes, making it harder for the learner to find the exact match. This activity is beneficial for developing the learner's visual discrimination skills, attention to detail, and cognitive flexibility. It can also help improve their memory, concentration, and problem-solving abilities. By providing a fun and engaging way to learn, the activity can motivate the learner to explore and discover more about the world around them. This activity is easy to create and assemble. All you need to do is print, laminate, cut and velcro. I use binder clips to hold the pages together for many years of teaching and learning Enjoy! IFIO girl I'll Figure It Out

Sorting Activity by Feature, Function, and Class - Large Picture Edition
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Speech Therapy, Life Skills, Math, Early Math, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Activities
What is FEATURE - FUNCTION - CLASS Sorting or grouping items by feature, function, and classification is a way of categorizing objects or ideas based on specific characteristics or attributes. This method of organization helps to make sense of complex information and allows for easier comparisons and analysis. 1) Feature: Sorting items by feature involves grouping them according to their physical or observable attributes. For example, you could sort a collection of books by their color or size. In this activity - Things that are yellow 2) Function: Grouping items by function involves categorizing them based on what they do or how they are used. For example, you could sort kitchen appliances by their function, such as sorting blenders, mixers, and food processors into one group and toasters, ovens, and microwaves into another group. In this activity - things in the kitchen 3) Classification: Sorting items by classification involves grouping them based on their characteristics or attributes that are intrinsic to their nature . For example, you could sort animals by their things that with wings or things that have fur. In this activity things that we wear. By using these different methods of sorting or grouping, you can provide different perspectives or ways of understanding a set of items or concepts, which can be helpful in teaching and learning. Why we teach sorting by Feature, Function and CLASS Teaching children to sort or group items by feature, function, and classification is important for several reasons: 1) Cognitive development: Sorting and grouping require children to think critically and make connections between items based on their characteristics. This helps to develop their cognitive abilities and improve their problem-solving skills. 2) Organization: Sorting and grouping items based on their features, function, or classification can help children to organize information and make sense of their environment. This can improve their memory and make it easier for them to retrieve information later. 3) Language development: Sorting and grouping can also help to develop children's language skills by providing them with the vocabulary to describe different features, functions, and classifications. This can improve their ability to communicate effectively and express their ideas clearly. 4) Mathematical skills: Sorting and grouping can also help to develop children's mathematical skills, such as counting, categorizing, and comparing. This can lay the foundation for more complex mathematical concepts later on. Overall, teaching children to sort and group items by feature, function, and classification can provide them with a range of cognitive, organizational, language, and mathematical benefits that can support their development in various areas. In this activity the pages are clear of visual distractions which helps the learner focus on the task. This activity is easy to create - Print and laminate all cards, cut out the individual sorting cards and velcro to the corresponding activity mat. You can hole punch the mats and put them in a binder for many years of teaching and learning. Enjoy, IFIO girl
