This is a 5th grade STEM activity for GT math students. Students have studied how to calculate circumference and have explored how it is one rotation of a tire. Students will now hypothesize which size wheel is best to go the farthest distance with the least full rotations by calculating the rotations based on distanced traveled and diameter of wheel.
This is a 5th grade STEM activity for Math. By the end of this skill, you will be able to determine an amount of elapsed time in hours and minutes within a 24-hour period.
Skills Needed: Ability to use scissors,crayons,markers,glue and brads.
Goals of Activity: To create a clock will moving hour and second hands.The clock will be used as a math manipulative when determining elapsed time.
The student will identify equivalent periods of time, including relationships among days, months, and years, as well as minutes and hours.
The student will use problem solving, mathematical communication, mathematical reasoning, connections, and representations to identify equivalent relationships observed in a calendar, including the number of days in a given month, the number of days in a week, the number of days in a year, and the number of months in a year. They will identify the number of minutes in an hour and the number of hours in a day.
To calculate the efficiency of a simple machine.
To develop an understanding of speed as a ratio between distance traveled and elapsed time.
You will build a Lego robot car and find out how fast it goes.
Number recognition, greatest to least and least to greatest.
Lesson Outcomes: students will be able to solve single and multi-step decimal problems
Percent, increase, decrease, ratio
Lesson Outcomes: The students will identify coefficient, term, variable and classify as equation or expression
