Unit 05
Energizers (5 min)
Class movement activities counting backwards starting at any number 20 or less (stretches, hops, jumping jacks, twists, rope climbs, fluff arms, hand over hand side claps. marches, tip toe steps, squats, toe touches)
Opening: Selfie Graphing Picture Graph
- Need: selfie tracer, construction paper (optional: google eyes, yarn, fabric, wrapping paper)
- Students create their selfie.
- At the beginning of class each day, teacher asks a question (or writes one in a speech bubble next to the graphing area).
- Students place the selfie to make a picture graph.
- TEACHER QUESTIONING: What do you notice about the data? (possible response: 7 kids liked fall best; 4 students wore sandals today, etc) What do you notice between the data? (more students like music than art).
Optional Unit 05 Activities
Sorting Boxes
- Follow up to the button box. (could be done in a work station or as a guided math station or both.)
- Need 10 or less of the items for the sorting box: Buttons (ask students to bring from home) other items that can be sorted: rocks, seeds, cereal, pencils, books, backpacks, bear counters, plastic bugs, erasers, crayons, makers, letters, or shapes.
- Items are placed in containers. Students sort the items and justify the sorting, create a picture graph, and a real-object graph.
- Student writes sentences about the data: by the data (most people ________, between the data (more people chose _____ than ________).
Smarties Graphing
Students sort the smarties.
Smarties come in various colors, so tell the students to choose three colors and put them on a napkin. They may eat the other colors (or save for home, etc)
The students will then write the color and tally how many smarties they have of that color.
Then have the students create a real-object graph with the smarties. They can write the title of the graph and the label as well as colors on the graph.
Have students then create a horizontal picture graph using circles to represent the pictures, again writing the title of the graph and labels.

Counting Cloth Graphing
- need: a pice of fabric, wrapping paper, or article of clothing with a design.
- Students drop a circle (weaving hoop, hula hoop for large pieces, or cut out circle) onto the fabric or wrapping paper. Keep the circle size to allow only 10 or less objects to be shown inside the circle.
- Students tally the different objects in the circle (stars, rafael ninja turtle, pink flower, etc) and count. Can use a large piece of fabric (or quilt) with a hoola hoop
- Students create tally's
- Create a picture graph with the data.

3. Review/Preview:
- Students roll two dice
- Students put the two parts together to find the sum
- Students build a tower with linking cubes to show the amount on one dice and the amount on the other dice.
- Students compare that amount with their partner.
- Students write about their tower and draw a picture:
I have _____ (color) cubes and _____ (color) cubes. Together I have _______ cubes. I have more/less than _________. He/She has ______ cubes.
Fluency:
- I love math (Group of students, One student walks around and plays a round with each student, then sits down and next student goes)
- Salute (one more, one less than your number)
- Rolling dice (double, sum to 10, ten more, roll 2 and build a two digit number)
- Draw a card, build a number with manipulatives, draw, and write the number.
Closing:
- Class Share with predictable chart
- Class Journal
- Personal journal
- Partner talks
- Self assessment
