Math, Multiplication and Division, Division, Measurements, Grade 4, 5, 6, Songs, Activities
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 “A Cow Named Larry.” This is a song and video that will have students learn about multiplication and measurements. 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 correctly solve multiplication problems and understand measurement. 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!

There are (3) informational passages: The Lightning Rod: Turning Fear into Safety: Franklin’s work showed lightning is electricity, not magic, and a lightning rod gives that charge a safe metal path into the ground instead of through a building. Eel Power: A Holiday Surprise: Electric eels fire quick bursts of electricity, and in special displays, metal plates and wires capture those pulses to make nearby lights briefly flicker. Electricity: From Source to Socket: Power plants use motion from fuels, falling water, wind, or sunlight to spin generators, then send that electrical energy through wires so a flip of a switch brings devices to life.

Sorting Activity: Shapes and Colors - Horizontal
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Math, Early Math, Language Development, Pre-Reading, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Activities
This educational activity is designed to develop a child's ability to sort and categorize shapes and colors. The activity involves the use of a sorting mat, which is set up horizontally, with various sorting cards with different shapes and colors. The learner will be given a set of cards in different colors, such as red, blue, and yellow, and then given three individual sorting cards for each color or shape and will be asked to sort them horizontally in a line. This activity aims to develop the learner's cognitive skills by helping them recognize similarities and differences between the shapes and colors of the sorting cards. The activity can also help the learner develop their sequencing and writing skills by placing the cards in a specific order horizontally. In this activity there is a sorting mat to sort one color or one shape, as well as a sorting mat to sort two colors and shapes and three colors and shapes. Making this activity easy to individualize for learner. As the learner progresses, the activity can be made more challenging by adding more colors and shapes to the sorting cards. This will help the learner to develop their ability to recognize and differentiate between a wider range of shapes and colors. Overall, this activity is a fun and engaging way for young learners to develop their cognitive and fine motor skills, while also introducing them to basic concepts of sequencing and writing. The pages are clear of visual distractions which helps the learner focus on the task. This activity is easy to create - Print, laminate all cards, cut out the individual sorting cards and velcro to the corresponding activity mat. If you have a coil binding machine you can coil bind the pages, However you can three hole punch the mats and put them in a binder or use binder rings for many years of teaching and learning.
