Five Frame Comparison Plates

For the 2013-2014 school year, anyone who teaches grade Primary to Grade Three in Nova Scotia will be executing a new math curriculum.  The Manitoba Education, the New Brunswick Department of Education and the Western and Northern Canadian Protocol (WNCP) for Collaboration in Education allowed the Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Education to adapt their mathematics curriculum to develop our new guide.

So I am in the process of learning the new outcomes and developing new materials that will be useful in my classroom and with this new curriculum.

One of the big ideas in the new curriculum is subitizing which is the ability to recognize at a glance a quantity of objects without counting (really not new but there will be more of an emphasis).   Most use paper plates with the dot stickers on them but I wanted to try something different, would last longer and take up less space (because if your classroom is anything like mine there is a lot of stuff). 

So I came up with these.  This product has a five frame on a picture of a paper plate which you can print on cardstock and laminate.  I have also printed five frame paper plates on both sides of the cardstock to save paper and be more efficient. 



This product includes the following:
-Slides with individual five frame plates for introduction activities
-A few suggested activities
-Slides with 2 five frame plates for comparison activities (I have slides with no title on them, and the same slides with the following title :
-Which set has the smallest number of dots without counting them?
-Which set has the largest number of dots without counting them?

I hope these will be helpful in your classroom and in math!

Enjoy!

Plant Journal Revisted with a New Addition Bean Greenhouse Activity

Image
Hello,  I cannot believe I uploaded my plant journal in 2012!!!  I have been using this plant journal with my students for 12 years!!! My students still get excited when they get their journal and investigate their plant growth.   For the past two years I have started the Bean Greenhouses where my students put a few beans in wet cotton balls, place them in a ziploc and we put them on the window and watch them grow.  This year I have created a quick journal for my students to observe their observations.  I always give 3 beans to each student because the ziploc is rather small for any more.  This year my students will be able to get their Bean Greenhouse journal, put down what day it is of growing and then colour in what stage they see their beans. They can also colour in the weather - sunny, partly sunny or cloudy.     Every year I do a living things unit and plant a radish seed with my students.   However, I have never felt the kids have had a great plant journal to keep all their no

Blank Game Boards

Every year, no matter what grade level I am teaching, I end the year with the students making a game they can play at school and then take it home to play with their family.   And every year it seems I am scrambling to put the materials together for the students.   I have found the younger students really need something concrete they can use.   I came up with these pre-made template.   I made templates without spinners, with different types of spinners and with places for cards.   I have all the templates in a binder in clear plastic protectors and I get the students to pick which template they want the day before we do the activity so I can have the templates ready for the kids.   I also have pre-made squares with various game standards such as “Miss a turn” and Go back 2 spaces” the kids can cut out and glue on the squares they want.   There are also blank squares they can print on to customize their game.   I also give the students a template to help with the writing of their direc

Teacher Week 2013 Classroom Management

Image
Hi everyone,  I have to say, I'm really enjoying this Teacher Week 2013. It's my first time participating in something like this.  Now on to classroom management. All schools in the Halifax Regional School Board uses Positive Effective Behaviour Supports (PEBS).  This is a school-wide system of support that includes proactive strategies for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate student behaviours.  It looks at what our students can do and are doing rather than what they shouldn't do and how we as adults interact with them.  Each student receives a PEBS matrix (a gird) to take home and review with their parents and a PEBS matrix is up in every classroom and teachers routinely refer to the PEBS matrix. We also use Gems with the whole school.  Gems are awarded to students who demonstrate positive behaviours as outlined in the PEBS matrix.  Each class has their own jar into which students deposit gems as they receive them.  Each class decides on a class goal
