"Down on the Farm" Math Song
Math, Fractions, Grade 2, 3, 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 2nd and 3rd grade. The title of this song is “Down on the Farm.” This is a song and video that will have students learn about fractions. 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 to provide students with a visual and concrete example for understanding fractions, parts of a fraction, and being able to correctly represent a fraction. 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!

This toothbrushes reading comprehension includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Toothbrushes Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science (Health & Technology) Primary Topic: How toothbrushes changed over time Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): R What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains how people cleaned teeth before store-bought toothbrushes by chewing a twig until it turned “fuzzy” and rubbing it on teeth. Shows how evidence from the past (archaeologists finding signs in places like Mesopotamia and Egypt) can tell us about tooth care long ago. Traces the history of the bristled brush from China’s Tang dynasty to Europe in the 1600s, highlighting how inventions travel. Describes how toothbrush designs changed to solve problems (for example, natural bristles staying damp and trapping bacteria). Summarizes key innovations—nylon bristles (1938) and the electric toothbrush (1954)—and connects them to the ongoing goal of protecting teeth. Learning Goals Students will describe how a “chew stick” was used to clean teeth long ago. Students will identify evidence in the text that people cared about clean mouths thousands of years ago. Students will explain how the bristled brush began in China and later spread to Europe. Students will summarize how toothbrush-making changed after 1780 using details about materials and design. Students will explain why inventors searched for new bristle materials and what nylon changed. Students will describe how an electric toothbrush helped brushing by adding steady motion. Key Vocabulary From the Text archaeologists — scientists who study the past using old remains. Mesopotamia — an ancient region where people lived long ago. miswak — a special stick used for cleaning teeth. patent — legal rights that protect an invention. bacteria — tiny germs that can cause problems.

Factoring Trinomials When A>1 Color by Numbers Worksheet
Math, Algebra, Grade 8, 9, 10, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Factoring Trinomials When A is Greater Than 1 Color by Numbers allows students to practice an essential algebra skill - factoring trinomials - in an engaging way. With twelve trinomial factoring problems that each connect to a section of a color by number image, students factor trinomial expressions and identify the corresponding color to shade. This creates a final picture that serves as an answer key. As students factor trinomials such as 3x^2+17x+10, they must strategize to find factors for the x^2 term coefficient and x term coefficient that multiply to equal the constant. This builds critical thinking skills. The worksheet is ideal for grade 8-10 math or algebra classes and developing algebraic factoring abilities. Students stay focused, think critically about factoring, and end up with beautiful color by number art - making learning enjoyable.
