Students will be working on and be introduced to the commutative property of addition through activities, lessons, homework and assessments.

This is a 3rd grade lesson plan that teaches balance to students with interdisciplinary activities in mathematics.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders an overview of lines, curves, vertices, and sides of 2d shapes.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders an overview of simple figure patterns.

Beginning kindergarteners are introduced to science and engineering concepts through questions such as “What is a Scientist?” and “What is an Engineer?”, and go on to compare and contrast the two. They are introduced to five steps of the engineering design process and explore these steps using the “I do, we do, you do” set of guided instruction. At the end of the project, students produce a set of purple popsicles that they design using various materials and by following a set of criteria.

In this activity, kids will work on two fundamental early math skills – sorting/classifying, and graphing. There will also be some great fine motor skill practice! Includes place-based discussion questions, activity instructions, extension activities, songs, and student graph worksheets.

The Berkeley Unified School District has pioneered garden education since the first school garden was planted at LeConte Elementary in 1983. This single garden inspired many others, and over the next twelve years it evolved into a multi-school Gardening and Cooking Program with annual support from a federal grant of $1.9 million from the California Nutrition Network. We lost this funding in 2013, along with many other nutrition and garden education programs, at which point we refocused from a nutrition-based program to one that supports teachers and students in the academic classroom.
This change encouraged us to develop a pilot curriculum in 2013–1014, with support from teachers, garden educators, and consultants from the Edible Schoolyard, Berkeley. Our team of experts gleaned from existing lessons and research to synthesize drafts to best fit our own school gardens. We rewrote the pilot lessons with input from our school communities and with incredible support from P. Rachel Levin, an English Language Coach, to develop academic and health targets accessible to all of our students.
The curriculum builds upon many years of educating our students in the garden and scales up content across grades and lessons for instructional scaffolding. It is designed as an interactive teaching tool to be co-taught with classroom teachers and garden instructors as leads. Each lesson connects directly to standards: Next Generation Science, Common Core State, Physical Education, and Environmental and Health Education. Our concise and easy-to-follow lessons are a packed 45 minutes for preschool through fifth grade. Flexibility is important to us, so some lessons include several activities that teachers can choose from to accommodate their lesson plans. Consistency is also important, so we follow themes and lesson structure found in the Curriculum Map.

In this card game students play in pairs to practice recognizing the biggest number.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders about bills and coins - word problems.

Students will discuss the definition of a biography and determine what elements it contains.  They will research a famous person and create a web graphic organizer with key achievements and personal information from their life. Peer feedback will be given on the web creation and then an oral presentation will be given.

This OER has been designed to help pre-, in- and returning teachers build confidence in teaching numeracy and mathematics, become a proficient teacher, improve students' learning of numeracy, implement evidence-based practice, and work successfully in building partnerships with families.

This OER was conceptualised and designed by Dr Leicha Bragg (Deakin University) and Professor Chris Walsh (Victoria University) through funding provided by the Victoria State Government's Department of Education and Training (DET).

The Birth to Level 10 Numeracy Guide assists educators and families in learning about and supporting numeracy development across the curriculum from Birth to Level 10 using a practical set of resources. The Guide is available here: http://numeracyguidedet.global2.vic.edu.au/

In this unit, the student will learn about transformational geometry. The student will learn about congruence transformations, such as reflections, translations, and rotations, and will also learn about geometric patterns
such as symmetry and tessellations.

The purpose of this task is for students to find different pairs of numbers that sum to 4.

This resource was created by Bruklynn Henery, in collaboration with Dawn DeTurk, Hannah Blomstedt, and Julie Albrecht, as part of ESU2's Integrating the Arts project. This project is a four year initiative focused on integrating arts into the core curriculum through teacher education, practice, and coaching.
