Activity
How Does It Measure Up?
Type of Activity: Independent
Materials Needed: Index cards, markers, pencil, tape
Directions for student:
Walk around the classroom. Find two things that are next to each other. Think about how they are different. Then, write a sentence comparing the two things on an index card. For example: The door is taller than the window. The scissors are sharper than the crayon. Tape the sentence in between the two things. How many different comparisons can you make?
Assessment: Through written work, based on the quality of sentences produced.
Guess The Order
Type of Activity: Partner
Materials Needed: Paper, five different colored crayons, scissors
Directions for student:
Take two pieces of paper. On one, draw five different pencils of five different lengths in order from shortest to longest. Color each pencil a different, mystery color. This is your solution. On the other, draw five more pencils and color each one a different color. Cut each pencil out. These are your guessing markers. Do not show your partner your solution. Take turns asking each other yes/no questions about the other’s pencils. For example: Is the red pencil longer than the green pencil? Line up your guessing markers in the order you think is your partner’s solution. Take turns until someone guesses the right order.
Assessment: Through teacher observation, based on the quality of sentences produced.
