Even when your students are in the intermediate or middle school grades, they can benefit from a wide variety of teaching techniques including the implementation of stations or learning centres! But creating these stations takes a lot of time, so let me do it for you! Station 1: This stations gives students four word problems to sovle that all involve geometry skills about area, perimeter, and volume. Station 2: This station gives students hand-on practice as they measure the volume of a real cardboard box. You will need to provide a few boxes and rulers for your students. Station 3: This station lets students design a backyard with different zones of grass, cement, a pool and more. They calculate the area and cost of each zone. Station 4: This station lets students practice calculating area and perimeter of complex shapes and they can try an online game! Station 5: This station lets students apply their knowledge to a real world math problem, and they practice carefully explaining their mathematical thinking in pictures and words. Break your students into 5 groups and have them rotate through the centers in 15 minute increments. Allow students to start at one station and move to another at their own pace as long as no station gets too crowded. Assign only one or two stations that work best for your students. Give a station as a quick review or homework assignment. Grades to Use With: These stations work well in grades 4-7 classes or high school special education.

FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE Lesson Snapshot Title: Pianos Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Music (Performing Arts) / Reading Informational Text Primary Topic: How the piano was invented and improved Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Lesson Teaches Best How the piano idea began around 1700 in Florence, Italy , with Bartolomeo Cristofori trying to make music “gentle or bold” depending on touch. How the piano’s key action works: a mechanism sends a leather-covered hammer to strike strings, then pulls back so the string keeps vibrating . How dampers stop strings from ringing—and lifting them lets tones ring longer. How information spread the invention: Scipione Maffei published an article with a diagram , leading builders like Gottfried Silbermann to make pianos based on Cristofori’s design. How the piano grew for bigger spaces: sturdier builds and a wider range from about four octaves to 88 keys , changing where music could be played (homes, schools, apartments, stages). Learning Goals Students will explain why Cristofori began tinkering with a new keyboard instrument around 1700. Students will describe how a key triggers the hammer-and-string action using details from the passage. Students will explain how a player’s touch can make the sound softer or louder according to the text. Students will identify how Maffei helped the piano idea travel and name one builder mentioned who made pianos afterward. Students will describe how the piano’s keyboard range changed over time and state the number of keys many pianos have today. Key Vocabulary From the Text harpsichords — older keyboards that stayed mostly one volume. inventory — a recorded list that showed a piano existed. mechanism — moving parts that make the piano action work. dampers — parts that stop strings from ringing. octaves — groups of notes used to describe keyboard range. Cored Ed Encyclopedia Overview The Cored Ed Encyclopedia is a weekly series of lessons that you can pick up and use right away. These short readings fit into whatever time you have available. Each one includes a warm-up, a reading, and a set of questions, but it’s flexible — you can do just the reading, the full lesson, or skip the writing section if you need to. Each lesson focuses on a single topic so students don’t get lost. The writing is clear but never childish, making it perfect for grades two through five. Topics range from animals and science to history, inventions, and everyday things. No matter the level of the student, everyone should take away at least one new idea or fact from each lesson. The materials are easy to print, easy to explain, and require no setup. They work well for whole-class teaching, partner work, or independent study.

Take your Pre-K and kindergarten learners on a journey through the Amazon rainforest with this fun-filled set of activities. There’s something for all types of learners as they focus on colors and animal adaptations in the rainforest biome. They’ll begin their journey with an engaging mini-book that tells about 10 rainforest animals. Created with beginning readers in mind, the story offers repetitive sentences, sight words, and colorful graphics. On each page learners will also be introduced to adjectives describing adaptations of each animal. Afterwards, each learner will have the opportunity to personalize their own book. This is a great way for them to build connections with learning and practice their reading skills with family and friends. Next, they’ll move on to several hands-on activities where they will strengthen foundational fine motor skills through tracing, cutting, gluing, manipulating modeling dough, and pretending to feed a baby hummingbird using a pipette. Along with those skills, your learners will practice concepts such as counting, writing, identifying color words, sorting, patterns, and following directions. Each activity was designed to meet current educational standards while highlighting the unique characteristics of animals such as the pink river dolphin, harpy eagle, black caiman, leaf-cutter ant, and red-eyed tree frog. You will note the STEM activities require specific materials, many of which can be found in your own teacher treasure trove or borrowed from teacher friends. While the craftivities do require initial prep work, they will add color to your educational environment. What’s more, your learners will take pride in seeing their masterpieces displayed during your rainforest themed unit. The books and many of the activities are available in both color and black & white versions. An answer key is also provided for worksheets. Below you will find a list of details found within the pages of this product. BOOKS: Two versions of “Take a Look!” – one a basic read-along, the other an interactive read-along. STEM: Activity 1: learners will estimate the number of blue morpho butterfly eggs that will fit on various sized leaves and place eggs (pony beads) on said leaves to show visual representation. Activity 2: learners will use modeling clay to build an anthill to house an estimated number of leaf-cutter ants that will fit inside their home. Activity 3: learners will use a pipette to feed the baby hummingbird an estimated number of nectar (colored water) droplets. Activity 4: learners will use Zoobs (anacondas) to create various types of lines and 2-D shapes. CRAFTIVITIES: #1: learners will cut leaves and glue them to the leaf-cutter anthill. #2: learners will create a red-eyed tree frog prop to use in conjunction with a short rhyme teaching about the animal’s unique adaptation. #3: learners will add color to a blue morpho butterfly template and then affix eye dots (white stickers) to the butterfly, giving it protection from predators WORKSHEETS: #1: reading comprehension, color word identification #2: color word identification, coloring #3: comparing items that are and are not sharp #4: sorting rainforest animals by the way they move (fly, walk, swim) #5: number identification, 1-to-1 correspondence, painting #6: pink river dolphin life cycle, color word identification, coloring #7: opinion writing using a prompt, drawing/coloring #8: map skills, connect the dots, coloring, drawing #9: tracing, writing, painting #10: drawing, coloring, writing #11: identifying an AB pattern, completing the pattern, drawing an AB pattern #12: following directions, color word identification, drawing, coloring
