Ordinal Numbers, Discussing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc… using the planets. I scored this blue piece of felt in the remnant bin (I also scored a red piece that I made a flannel board out of…tutorial posted last week), the sun is also cut from felt). I printed the ordinal cards and planets from 1+1+1=1, I laminated them and then attached felt to the back of the planets with masking tape. First he ordered the ordinal number cards, and then he placed the planets on the felt in order. We also read the book Me and My Place in Space, and used this printed book from Enchanted Learning.
Moon Rocks Math – with Facts Cards
I wrote my own fact cards, 1+1, 2+2, 3+3, 4+4 & 5+5 onto index cards. Then using this sheet (which I made and you can use to for FREE), he would draw a card, and place the number of moon rocks on each moon, right the numbers and the sum.
GeoBoard Fun
I cut out lots of shapes, a variety of rectangles, a few triangles, a square, a hexagon and a trapezoid. We talked about the shapes, their names, how many sides and angles. We sorted the shapes, rectangles v/s non-rectangles. Then he built rocket ships from them and mimicked his designs on the geoboard.
I love the planet flannel board. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Sounds like a great day. I love how you integrated each of the lessons so they 'fit' together. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI have to say the buzz lightyear outfit is a must for any space unit of study :)
ReplyDeleteOh, nice, very nice! Thanks for sharing the 1+1+1 link! That might come in handy!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome planet ideas, especially the ordinal numbers :)

ReplyDeleteWe don't have the Me in Space book, but have and love the Me on the Map book. Maybe I will pick up the space one next! Thanks for linking up with us over at NOBH!
