Apply addition and subtraction

Its easy for children to use this kind of tools, because it help them to understand
how to add and subtract numbers, by building cubes together. I took the idea of
this activity from pinterest website, because it has a lot of great ideas for math.
Its important for students to know how to add and subtract, because they do
these operations in their real life. Basic addition helps students gain confidence
and demonstrates to them the real-life effectiveness of math.
This can create a lifelong interest in math that helps students do best when they
reach more challenging math classes. Children don't need to memorize complex
addition problems to master the basics of addition. Instead, teachers focus on
helping students by using physical objects

reading, writing and counting. Telling time has a lot of skills that are put into
practice once the young one starts learning about clocks, hours, minutes and
seconds.
This activity will helps children to know about timing and hours. Although
identifying which one is hour and minute. Students will have clocks and cards
with time numbers so they can practice showing a given time whenever they
want.
Teaching about time will gives children an abstract idea of how much time has
passed them by and how many hours in a day. Students will learn to recognize
analog and digital clocks. They will also gain skills to tell time to the hour on both
clocks.

Customary and metric lengths

This activity is good for math and science classroom, because it is related to
science, the teacher will ask the students about animals name, shape and Texture.
The activity will be in groups and the teacher will be around students to help and
mentor them, when they take the measurements. The teacher will prepare the
classroom with different kind of objects, so they can enjoy this activity, because
its important to have safe and comfortable environment. According to Krashen it
is always important to create a safe, welcoming environment in which students can
learn, although learners need to feel that they are able to make mistakes and take
risks (Olenka, 2009).
Students learn what a length is by comparing it with other lengths and they
develop the concept and connected language together. For example, This stick is
long but this one is short. This one is shorter. As students compare measures
directly, and order them, they learn to identify each element and to see how they
are different.
Some students learn a procedure to measure lengths by bring into line one end of
the ruler with the object and reading the number that corresponds to the other end
of the object. Often students think that the marks, instead of the distance between
the marks, are the units of measure. The experience of making a ruler by choosing,
marking and numbering the informal units may assist students to understand how
a ruler works.
Although An understanding of geometrical properties can be important in the
measurement of length. Because when students measure a table or a desk, they
usually measure along one edge. Some students may not realize that the length of
a rectangular desk will be the same if it is measured along any imaginary line
parallel to the edge.

Place value

This activity will help students to understand what ones, tens and hundreds is, and
how many digit in numbers. Also Figure out how to solve problems independently
by playing with the numbers. I took the idea of this activity from pinterest website,
because it has a lot of great ideas for math.
I used this objects because its something different and the students enjoy looking
at cookies and games. Its important to learn place value because once a child has
a good understanding of place value, he or she will have an easier time with
addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
The teacher although should encourage the students to work together, so they can
help each other and build a great relationship. Students interacted with hundreds
blocks, tens sticks, and ones cubes.
Add three digit numbers

In this lesson the student will learn how to add three digit numbers, and they will know
that each digit in a number represents a certain amount. A number like 465 has a 4 in the
hundreds place, a 6 in the tens place, and a 5 in the ones place. The digit 4, in the
hundreds place, does not represent 4 it represents 400.
Addition algorithm is breaking each of the numbers (the addends) into its single-place
components. After that add the corresponding components for each order of magnitude. If
the component for an order of magnitude of an addend is missing, it is treated as if it were
zero. Recombine the sums from step 2 into a number in base 10 form. (The details of this
step give rise to the trickier parts of the algorithm.)

Ask the students to think of 42 as 40 + 2, but also as 4 x 10 + 2. The teacher although

According to Richard Garlikov (There are at least five aspects to being able to understand
place-value, only two or three of which are often taught. The other two or three aspects
are ignored, and yet one of them is important for children's understanding of place-value,
and one is important for complete understanding, though not for only useful
understanding) (Fuson, 1990)
1) Learning number names, show how to write and read individual numbers.
2) "Simple" addition and subtraction.
3) Developing familiarity through practice with groupings, and counting physical
quantities by groups.
4) Representation (of groupings).

Geometric shapes
Geometry is the branch of mathematics that talks about spatial sense and
geometric reasoning. Students begin to understand geometry through direct
interaction with their life. Because it is the study of the physical aspects of the
environment, geometry has importance for every student. As students see, touch,
and manipulate shapes, they begin to improve spatial reasoning skills. The Van
Hiele theory of geometric thought describes the different levels of understanding
through which students progress when learning geometry (Van Hiele 1984).
At level 1 which is Visual level Students at this level recognize figures by their
appearance.
Level 2 is about Descriptive/Analytic, Students at this level recognize/analyze
figures by their properties or components.
Level 3 Abstract / Relational, Students at this level can distinguish between
necessary and sufficient conditions for a concept; they can also form abstract
definitions, and classify figures by elaborating on their interrelationships.
Level 4 Formal Deduction, Students establish theorems within an axiomatic
system. They recognize the difference between undefined terms, definitions,
axioms, and theorems. They are capable of constructing original proofs.
Finally at level 5 is Mathematical Rigor, Students understand the relationship
between various systems of geometry. They are able to describe the effect of
adding or deleting an axiom on a given geometric system. These students can
compare, analyze, and create proofs under different geometric systems.
According to Van Hieles students develop a deep understanding of all geometric
concepts through a similar progression from level 1 to level 5 (Tashana, 2014).

Skip count by 5
Learning to Skip Count help students to count many things quickly and learn
multiplication table of 5. Students should skip count every day. This may be
an oral count, a count of physical objects to control the number of objects in the
set or a written record of skip counting and it is suitable to every level. I took the idea
of this activity from pinterest website, because it has a lot of great ideas for math.
Skip counting is important in the development of fluency in calculation and as the
basis of multiplication and division. It is also important to help students move from
calculating by counting by ones to using number facts.
Practically all mathematics is based on pattern and structure (Mulligan &
Mitchelmore, 2009, p. 33). Skip counting is just another example of
mathematical pattern and structure that occurs at a basic level in early
numeracy development. Mulligan & Mitchelmore (2009) also believe that
ultimate success in mathematics relies on individuals being able to employ
abstract patterns to further advance their knowledge (Michael, 2009).
The students will enjoy this activity because its different than writing in the book,
children like to play games and puzzles, so the will be excited to do this activity.
