This whales 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. 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: Whales Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Life Science / Informational Reading Primary Topic: Whales as mammals, feeding types, fossils, human impacts Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Whales are mammals that breathe air with lungs through blowholes , so they must surface as part of everyday life. Whales can have two different feeding tools : baleen plates that strain food like krill, or sharp teeth used to grab fish or squid. Fossils provide evidence that early whale relatives were land mammals and changed over millions of years to live in the ocean. Human activity affects whales today (fishing gear tangles, ships strike, and loud noise can fill the water where whales communicate), and scientists use tracking tools to help protect them. Learning Goals Students will explain why whales rise to the surface using details about breathing and blowholes. Students will compare how baleen whales and toothed whales get food, using evidence from the text. Students will describe what fossils show about where whales came from long ago. Students will identify one modern problem that can make whale communication harder, based on the passage. Students will describe at least one way scientists track whales to protect them, using details from the text. Key Vocabulary From the Text blowholes — nostrils on top of a whale’s head. baleen — mouth plates that strain tiny food from water. krill — tiny sea creatures baleen whales hold onto. streamlined — shaped to move smoothly through water. fossils — old remains in rock that give clues.

Learning Goals Students can describe radar as a tool that sends out radio waves and listens for the waves that bounce back. Students can explain how a receiver uses the echo’s return time to show distance. Students can describe one early step in radar’s development mentioned in the passage (1930s tests or the June 1935 detection). Students can explain why early-warning stations mattered as World War II was getting closer. Students can identify at least two ways radar is used in everyday life after the war (planes, ships, or weather).

Guided Reading Level N - How People Communicated (with Lesson Plan)

This Guided Reading Book - How People Communicated (Level N) with lesson plan includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: How People Communicated Long Ago Genre: Nonfiction (Informational) Subject: Social Studies (Past and Present) / Reading Primary Topic: How people shared messages long ago Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Book Teaches Best How people shared information long ago using cave wall paintings made from crushed rocks and water. How messengers (runners) delivered spoken messages or wooden tablets across forests and mountains. Different tools for sending messages, including carrier pigeons , letters , and the printing press for making many copies quickly. How inventions changed communication over time—from telegraph (Morse code) to telephone to near-instant messages today. Quality check note: One page includes text about firefighters’ turnout gear that does not match the book’s communication topic, and the vocabulary list includes firefighter terms (“protective,” “turnout”). Learning Goals Students will describe at least three ways people communicated long ago using details from the text. Students will explain how carrier pigeons carried letters according to the text. Students will describe how the printing press changed how books were made. Students will explain how the telegraph sent messages and name “Morse code” as described. Students will compare older communication methods to today’s communication described in the book. Key Vocabulary From the Text messengers — people who carry messages or news. invention — something new created for the first time. telegraph — machine that sent messages using electricity. envelope — paper cover that holds a letter. instantly — right away, with almost no waiting. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What are some ways people might share information when they are far apart? Comprehension questions: How did people use cave walls to share information thousands of years ago? What did carrier pigeons carry, and where was it attached? According to the text, how can a message travel around the world today in just a few seconds? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.

Math, Addition and Subtraction, Addition, Subtraction, Fractions, Grade 4, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
These 14 sets of differentiated worksheets aims to develop all the skills needed to add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators. Combining 2 important areas of the Common Core 4th grade Math curriculum on fractions these resources create a smooth transition from adding and subtracting fractions less than one to adding and subtracting mixed numbers, all with the same denominators. The method used is as follows: 1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions 2. Add or subtract the improper fractions 3. Convert the final fraction back to a mixed number. There are some important additional interim steps included to make the process complete: Set 1: Add 2 fractions with the sum < 1 Set 2: Add 3 fractions with the sum < 1 Set 3: Subtract with both fractions < 1 Set 4: Numerical questions: Addition & subtraction, all fractions and answers < 1 Set 5: Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers Set 6: Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions Part 1: Whole number = 1 Set 7: Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions Part 2: Whole numbers from 1 to 4 Set 8: Numerical questions: Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions Set 9: Add 2 fractions , each < 1 but their sum >1 Set 10: Numerical questions: Add 2 or 3 fractions with sum > 1 Set 11: Add 2 mixed numbers Set 12: Subtract mixed numbers Set 13: Numerical questions: Add 2 mixed numbers Set 14: Numerical questions: Subtract mixed numbers All the above, except where it states 'Numerical questions' , use visual fraction models. Within all of the sets you have a choice of the level of questions. With the visual fraction models, you can decide on 3 levels how much information to provide. For the Numerical questions there are 2 levels where the range of denominators used are different, and in set 13 & 14 the range of whole numbers. A little memory jogger on each Worksheet At the top of the worksheets using the visual fraction model there is an example shown as a memory jogger and as a teaching tool if needed. How many worksheets are in each set ? Lots and lots. At the click of a button all numbers are randomised, so the questions change every time. This will allow you to create as many new worksheets you will need for practice throughout the year (classwork, homework, revision, fillers etc) or even give small groups of students in your class different sets of questions either at the same level or differentiated . There will certainly be enough to ensure fluency in this topic. You could also use any of the worksheets to explain or introduce the subject to your class as you will have almost unlimited examples to work with and they will be different from the actual worksheets you hand out to your students. As these worksheets need little explanation and no preparation, they are ideal if you need to leave work for a replacement teacher. Answers can be found on the second page of every worksheet, are automatically generated when you create a new worksheet. Note These resources are PDF documents and work with the official Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows or Mac computers with the randomising buttons also working via a touchscreen (PC or Mac)or on an Interactive Whiteboard. Common Core 4.NF.B.3.A A Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole. 4.NF.B.3.C Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.
