Short Response - Book Review

I gave this sheet to my students for homework at least twice a week. Every night my class was required to read for at least 30 minutes. I would often give them this 3 question worksheet to quickly assess their knowledge of their book. Keep in mind, several of my students were well below reading level and still reading picture books. This sheet works well with shorter books students can read in one sitting or I'm sure you can use introduce it once readers have completed a chapter book.

Product Description

This lesson requires students to round 2 - 5 digit numbers to the nearest Tens, Hundreds and Thousands Place.

Students are also asked to estimate the sum or 3 - 4 digit numbers. 

The lesson also includes the following word problems which ask students to round their answers to the nearest Tens Place: 

1. The students in Mr. Marshall’s class all have different reading books in their desks. Ahmad has 12, Jackie has 7, Michael has 5, Kendra has 11 and Patricia has 6. Estimate the number of books they have in total.

2. Sarah's father has a huge movie collection. She counted 5,458 movies. About how many movies would you say her father has if you round to the nearest tens place?

3. Mrs. King has 44 students in her class. She has more than any other teacher in the school. Ms. Black comes close with 39 students, but Mr. Anthony only has 27. Estimate the number of students in those three classes. Round your answer to the nearest tens place.

4. There are 365 days in a year. Estimate the number of days in the year to the nearest tens place.

This can either be used as a homework assignment, in-class practice, quiz or test.

This former freebie is now available for purchase here and on TeachersPayTeachers.com

Product Details

Materials Needed:
1 snack pack of M&M candies (per student)

My students ALWAYS love this lesson!

I've successfully completed this activity with 2nd, 4th and 5th grade classes. 

This activity can be done in 8+ Steps.

The provided steps include:

Step 1: Before you open your bag of M&M candies, guess the total number of M&Ms in the package.

Step 2: Open your package and count the total number of M&Ms.

Step 3: What fraction represents the number of each color candy in your pack?

Step 4: Answer the following questions:
1. Which color M&M represents the largest fraction? 
2. Which color M&M represents the smallest fraction? 

Step 5: Eat one of each color M&M.

Step 6: What fraction represents the number of each color candy in your pack?

Step 7: Answer the following questions:
3. If you give 2 red M&Ms to your teacher, what fraction of your remaining M&Ms will be RED?
4. Write the fraction that represents the number of M&Ms that are
NOT ORANGE?
5. Which color M&M represents the largest fraction? 
6. Which color M&M represents the smallest fraction? 

Step 8: Eat all of your M&Ms.

For 2nd graders and SPED classes, the directions were always read aloud and we completed the entire activity together step by step. 

With smaller 4th and 5th grade classes, I allowed students to complete the entire worksheet on their own as I would go around the room checking on their progress and understanding.

With larger classes, I would recommend having students pair up in groups of 2 to complete the assignment together. Each student should still receive their own pack of M&Ms and their own worksheet, but the following additional steps should be taken to ensure that all students understand the concept of fractions, numerators, denominators, etc. 

--> Before students begin, instruct them to STOP and put their pencils down after STEP 3. Once all (or the majority) of the students have completed STEP 3, call on various students and ask them the following questions:

1. What fraction of your M&Ms are (color)? How do you know?
2. Does that color represent the numerator or the denominator?
3. What is a numerator?
4. What does the denominator represent?
5. Which color M&M represents the largest fraction? How do you know? 
6. Which color M&M represents the smallest fraction? How do you know? (You could also ask another student: "Is he/she correct?"

Before allowing students to complete STEP 4, instruct them to answer the 2 question in STEP 4 and when finished do the following:

1. Put your pencil down, stand up and push in your chair
2. When both you and your partner have completed STEP 4 and are both standing with your chair pushed in, switch seats.
3. Sit down and DO NOT TOUCH your partner's M&Ms. 
4. Review their answers in STEP 3 AND STEP 4 by looking at their group of M&Ms
5. Circle any incorrect answers.
6. When both you and your partner are finished reviewing STEP 3 & 4, discuss your incorrect answers. If you disagree on a fraction, raise your hand and ask the teacher to review the work.
7. When you have finished reviewing the answers, put your pencils down, stand up and return to your seat to complete STEPS 5-7.

After students have completed STEP 7, they should repeat the review process after STEP 4.

Finally, they can all eat their M&Ms.

Hope this helps =)

I used this with my 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students to help them review and improve their writing. 

If any of their boxes are checked "NO" they must go back and correct the mistakes and check the "CORRECTED" box after they have fixed their mistakes. 

I kept this sheet at our Writing Center and also had students use them for Writing Homework assignments. 

Hope this helps =)

Inference Carousel: Making Inferences with Pictures and Captions

12/5/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture


FREE BETWEEN 12/5/2013 - 11/23/2022

This former freebie is now available for purchase here and on TpT.

32 pages

Activity Includes:

  • Teacher Instructions
  • 15 Images and Captions
  • Response Handouts for Lessons
  • List of Possible Responses 
  • Additional Inference Carousel Activity
  • Template for Student Inference Pictures

______________________________________

View Inference Carousel: Making Inferences with Pictures (FREE) if you would like this lesson without captions
______________________________________


Materials Needed:
  • 1 clipboard, white board or solid, portable surface for each student to write on
  • Tape, Velcro or a similar device to post the images around the classroom
  • 15 pieces of colored construction paper (optional)

STEP 1: 
Before the students enter the class, post the 15 pictures clockwise around the room in numerical order. I would recommend being creative with where you are placing the pictures. Don’t make it TOO easy for the students to find them. Place some on the floor, windows, behind doors, on the sides of shelves, etc. I would also suggest placing a sheet of colored construction paper on the back of each picture so that it will stand out from the other papers you have throughout the classroom. 


STEP 2: 
When it’s time to begin the lesson, inform your students that you have posted several pictures throughout the room and explain that their job is to review each photo and make an inference based on the images and captions. They will record their responses on the handouts provided as they walk around the room with their clipboards / personal white boards. They should not debate about the photos with each other until after the lesson. All answers should be original and students should not be asking each other for their opinions on the pictures until they finish the carousel. 

THIS IS A SILENT ACTIVITY.

The goal is for students to make an educated guess about what is happening (or what will happen) based on what they see, what they've read and what they know or have personally experienced. Ultimately, they should read between the lines and expand upon the story line provided. Students should avoid repeating the caption in their responses, but that doesn't necessarily make their responses incorrect. The Possible Responses provided on the following pages will give you a better idea of the more acceptable inferences. 



STEP 3: 
Individually call on students to begin the Inference Carousel. For example, the first student you select should start at Picture #1 (or whatever number you choose). The next student should begin at the following (or different) picture and then continue walking clockwise around the room. Students should make sure the picture they are currently looking at corresponds to the correct number on their handout. If they begin at Picture #12, they should be recording their responses on the sheet where it says “Picture #12”. 
Please stress the importance of paying attention to the “Picture #” when recording their answers.


STEP 4: 
Once my students were finished with the carousel, we reviewed each photo with the responses from around the room to generate a discussion about how and why they came up with their inferences. Obligating them to include the word “because” in all of their responses made it much easier for them to explain the reasoning behind their conclusions and gave room for other students to argue their opinions when they didn’t make the same inference.

***Please note that you only need to print pages 1-20 for the first lesson***


Lesson Modifications:
Inference Merry – Go – Round 
An alternative to having students walk around the room would be to put their desks together in the form of a large circle. Pass out the images one at a time and have students continually circulate the pictures until everyone finished. A student should never have more than one picture at their desk at once. This is another reason why it is very important for them to pay close attention to the “Picture #s”. Please note that you can conduct the lesson in the very same way, the only difference is that the students remain seated.

Hope this helps and please be sure to leave feedback!

Thank you =)
