3 Quick Angle Activities to Practice Measurement and Classification: Acute, Right, Obtuse, Straight, Reflex
Math, Geometry, Measurements, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities
Do you need a few new ideas for your grade 4-6 math unit on angles (acute, right, obtuse, straight, and reflex)? This one page handout could be a super addition to your unit planning! There are three quick and easy activities provided to add new ideas to your instruction and help those students who learn in different ways. 1) Kinaesthetic Angle Game: Everyone stands up. The teacher calls out a type of angle (acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex). Students use their arms to make that angle. Students can make up their own "angle dance routines" and teach them to their peers. 2) Angle Scavenger Hunt: Students make a table in their notebook with the five types of angles: acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex. They look around the classroom, the school, or outside and record examples of each type of angle in the environment. 3) Angle Exit Slip: Want to ensure your students are grasping the concepts of your angle unit and learning how to use a protractor accurately? Copy and give this quick assessment . Students must measure and classify two angles and draw three given angles. It only takes five minutes, but it can give you very helpful information about which students in your class might need some small group instruction to master these concepts. Grades to Use With: These lesson ideas work for students in grades 4-7. For example, in British Columbia, Canada students learn about angles in grade six. In the US, they are part of the grade 4 curriculum. What's Included: 1 page PDF with three activities If you enjoy these math ideas, check out others in my store: BC Grade 5 Math: Full Year Supplemental Activities, Games, and Tasks BC Grade 6 Math: Full Year Supplemental Activities, Games, and Tasks BC Grade 7 Math: Full Year Supplemental Activities, Games, and Tasks

This chess reading comprehension with lesson plan 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. COMPANION VIDEO NOW AVAILABLE (EMBEDDED AFTER PREVIEW PICTURES IN PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) 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 and additional facts. 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: Chess Genre: Nonfiction (informational passage with headings) Subject: Reading (Informational Text) / Social Studies (history & culture) Primary Topic: How chess works and how it changed over time Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Introduces key basics of the game (64 squares, 16 pieces, and the goal of checkmate). Traces chess’s spread across places and cultures (India → Persia → Muslim world → Europe). Explains how rules changed over time (the queen and bishop gaining powerful moves in the late 1400s). Uses a chronological, heading-based structure to show history in clear sections (early origins, Europe, tournaments, computers). Connects chess to modern competition and technology (international tournaments, FIDE, computers like Deep Blue). Learning Goals Students will describe the chessboard and starting pieces using details from the passage. Students will explain what “checkmate” means in the passage. Students will identify where the passage says chess traveled and what it was called in different places. Students will describe the late-1400s rule change mentioned and how it affected games. Students will summarize how chess moved into public life and became an international sport. Students will explain one way computers affected chess, based on the passage. Key Vocabulary From the Text checkmate — the king is trapped with no safe move. ancestor — something that came earlier than something else. chaturanga — an early India game linked to chess. tournament — a contest with many games. calculating — working things out by thinking ahead.

Fast Food Number Cards
Math, Early Math, Numbers, Kindergarten, Preschool, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Flashcards
These fast food themed number cards are perfect for students who are learning with a fast food theme. They make the perfect tool for students to learn numbers up to 20. What is Included: This set includes one number card and one number word card for all numbers up to 20. Ideas for Using the Number Cards: Invite students to play a matching activity by pairing each number with its corresponding number word. Turn the cards into a hands on fishing game by attaching paper clips and using a magnetic fishing rod for students to “catch” the numbers. Place the cards in a sand or salt tray so students can trace or write the numbers and number words for tactile practice. Hide the cards around the classroom and have students go on a number scavenger hunt to find and identify each one. Challenge students to arrange the cards in correct numerical order, working independently or as a group. Use a pocket chart to create a guessing game by placing the cards in the chart and hiding a picture behind one number. Students take turns guessing which number is hiding the picture. Add small manipulatives (such as counters, cubes, or pom-poms) and have students count objects to match the number shown on each card. When to Use: Math Centers – Add the number cards to a math center for students to practice matching independently or with a partner. Morning Tubs or Baskets – Place the number cards in a morning bin for students to work on as classmates arrive. Small Group Instruction – Use the number cards during small group time to provide extra support for students who need additional practice recognizing numbers and number words. Make number recognition fun with these fast food number cards! This low-prep activity is easy for teachers to prepare. Teachers just simply print, cut, and laminate for durability. The number cards fit perfectly in a task box for effortless setup, cleanup, and storage. Skills Assessed: These cards, depending on the materials added, can assess both number recognition and number word recognition.

What Are They Feeling? – Perspective-Taking Cards
Special Resources, Life Skills, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Activities
PERSPECTIVE TAKINGcan be challenging for some children. Noticing and understanding other people's facial expressions, is an important factor in good perspective taking. The ability to take other's perspectives is an important life skill. It helps us to GET ALONG WITH OTHERS, and ADJUST OUR BEHAVIOR when / if necessesary, in order to make people feel comfortable around us. "What Are They Feeling?" These 30 PHOTO CARDS will help children practice the important perspective taking skill of understanding what others may be feeling, based on their facial expressions and body language. Students will also be able to gain a greater understanding of why people may have different feelings, and react differently, even though they are in the same situation. Additionally, this activity helps children to identify their own emotions and what might make them feel that way. Photos include: Set 1:Pictures show a close up of a child’s face. The student is asked what the child in the photo is feeling, what clues they have about this, i.e. frown, squinted eyes, etc. and what might make someone feel this way. Set 2:Pictures are showing a child’s face and hands, for some additional clues about how they may be feeling. The student is asked to think about what the child in the picture may be feeling, based on the facial expression and hand gestures. Set 3: Pictures show children demonstrating various emotions through facial expressions AND body language. The student is asked to think about what the child in the picture may be feeling, based on the facial expression and body language.
