Sorting/grouping Non Identical fruit
Special Resources, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Math, Early Math, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Activities

In the "Sorting Non-Identical Fruit" activity , students will have the opportunity to improve their visual discrimination and categorization skills. The activity consists of a set of fruit activity cards, each depicting a different type of fruit, and six corresponding sorting cards for each fruit. Each sorting card will feature a picture of the same type of fruit, but with subtle differences in color, size, and shape. Students will need to carefully examine the sorting cards and use their critical thinking skills to sort them into the correct group based on the corresponding fruit activity card. This activity is not only fun and engaging, but also provides an early math foundation by introducing sorting and grouping concepts. By engaging in hands-on sorting and grouping of non-identical fruits, students can develop important cognitive skills such as attention to detail, observation, and reasoning. The "Sorting Non-Identical Fruit" activity is a great way to encourage students to work together and practice their communication and problem-solving skills while having fun. This activity can be easily adapted for different ages and levels of ability, making it a versatile and useful tool for any classroom or learning environment. There is also a SPANISH version identical to this activity . It pairs nicely when working with children who have English as their second language or with children interested in learning Spanish words through a tasked based learning activity . The pages are clear of visual distractions which helps the learner focus on the task. This activity is also easy to create and assemble - Print and laminate all cards, cut out the individual sorting cards and velcro to the corresponding activity mat.

Middle School Math Stations or Centers: Factors, Multiples, Prime, Composite
Math, Fact Families, Multiplication and Division, Division, Numbers, Multiplication, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Centers, Activities

This ready-to-go set of 5 stations will supplement a unit about factors, multiples, prime and composite numbers. Math stations or centers are a great way to get students engaged as they move about the room and work collaboratively with their peers. Even when students are in middle school or the intermediate grades, they benefit from a variety of teaching strategies including the use of stations or centres! But they are a lot of work to prepare! Let me do the work for you! Station 1: Students solve 4 riddles/word problems involving factors and multiples. (optional: set out white boards for students to use) Station 2: Students play a game using 10-sided dice. (supplies needed: pairs of dice) Station 3: Students choose two numbers to investigate and learn about common factors and multiples. (optional: set out an anchor chart about factors vs multiples) Station 4: Students review prime and composite numbers and make prime factor trees. (optional: set out laptops or tablets for the online game extension) Station 5: Students apply what they have learned to a real-life problem, and practice writing and drawing about their mathematical thinking. (optional: set out counters for students to use) Ways to Use: You can break your class into 5 groups and have them rotate one at a time through the centres, giving them 10-20 minutes at each one. Or, start students at certain centres and then allow them to move around at their own pace as long as no one centre gets too full. I find these are a great resource as you are finishing your unit and preparing for the unit test. Grades to Use With: These stations work well in grades 4-7 classes or high school special education. Standards: CCSS4.OA.B.4 Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1-100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is prime or composite. CCSS6.NS.B.4 Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2).
