5 The Foundation of VariQuest Learning Modules VariQuest supports educators by providing countless opportunities to introduce a variety of visuals and hands-on manipulatives into their classrooms. The use of visuals in the classroom helps students understand and retain information, specifically abstract concepts. Visuals can also help bridge the gap for students who struggle with vocabulary and/or language barriers. Hands-on manipulatives create learning experiences in which students interact with knowledge kinesthetically. Research shows that exposing students to a variety of learning experiences, including visual and kinesthetic, will increase student retention and help students learn to construct meaningful knowledge from information. The VariQuest Visual Learning Tools enhance classroom teachers ability to provide learning experiences that meet the learning styles of all students. The aim of the following Learning Activities is to coordinate the VariQuest Visual Learning Tools with lessons and activities that incorporate visual and hands-on learning strategies to reinforce basic skills and provide fun and motivational activities that will supplement your school s curriculum. For best practices and additional information on how to customize VariQuest posters, banners, flashcards, awards, cutouts and manipulatives, review the VariQuest Implementation Guide prior to use. For the following learning activities, use construction paper for all cutouts unless otherwise specified. Pre-laminating construction paper using a cold laminator adds durability to cut out letters, shapes, numbers and collections. 4

6 Measurement and Geometry 1 Overview The key concepts covered in this module are shapes, patterns, time and money. Children will explore two-dimensional shapes, including naming, describing, categorizing, sorting by attributes, manipulating, drawing, combining and using them for art projects. In pattern activities, children will use colors and shapes to identify patterns, continue patterns, and make their own patterns. Children will use analog and digital clock faces to tell time, show times of day from hour to five-minute intervals. Money concepts covered include coin names and values, coin and bill equivalences and using VariQuest money cutouts to buy classroom items. The learning activities in this VariQuest Learning Module are designed to meet educational standards in innovative and creative ways. Before turning to the learning activities, familiarize yourself with general information that will guarantee ease of use and flexibility. Assessment Following the learning activities, you will find a rubric that can be used to guide you in making observational assessments of students abilities related to the objectives outlined in the learning activities. It is recommended that you make a copy for each student to guide your ongoing informal assessments, making anecdotal notes on the back when appropriate. VariQuest Content You will find a complete list of all of the content included in this module between the Rubric and Work Order template. The content ID #s (ex. VIS001) for content referenced in the learning activities are listed in the materials section for each activity and are color-coded to help distinguish between templates for the Poster Maker (red) and Awards Maker (purple) and cutouts and collections for the Cutout Maker (gold). Work Orders You will also find a work order template on the last page of the Activity Guide. This template can be photocopied and used for placing orders for customized VariQuest posters, banners, stickers, awards, cutouts and collections. It is designed to be submitted to the primary user of the VariQuest Visual Learning Tools by those who may not have direct access to them. 5

7 A c t i v i t y o n e Attribute Shapes MTH111 Square MTH319 ACTIVITY One Shapes and Attributes Circle MTH306 Triangle MTH321 Objectives Children will name, build, draw, compare, and sort two-dimensional shapes. Children will describe characteristics of two-dimensional shapes. Children will investigate and predict the result of putting two shapes together. Rectangle MTH317 Rhombus MTH318 Materials cutout Maker: Attribute Shapes: MTH111 Square: MTH319 (Basic) Circle: MTH306 (Basic) Triangle: MTH321 (Basic) Rectangle: MTH317 (Basic) Rhombus: MTH318 Preparation Cut out Attribute Shapes on cardstock, one set for each child. Cut out the following individual shapes on cardstock custom-sized at 7 or larger: Square, Circle, Triangle, Rhombus (Diamond), and Rectangle. 6

8 shapes and attributes Whole Class Hold up each shape (circle, square, triangle, diamond, and rectangle) and review the name. Turn each shape 90 and ask children to name the shape again, especially for the diamond, which can look quite different when seen horizontally (as a slanted square). Distribute sets of Attribute Shapes to children. Hold up the circle. Ask children to name the shape and then find and hold up one of their circles. Have children find another circle in their attribute shapes and hold it up, too. Then have children compare the shapes. How are they alike? How are they different? Repeat for the square, triangle, and diamond. Then have children sort shapes by asking, Which ones are round? Which ones have three sides? Which ones have four sides? Partners Have children pool their attribute shapes together. Ask children to predict what shape they will make if they put two triangles together. Repeat for two squares. Help children write the math sentence with shapes for what they did and what they discovered: Modification Give children multiple sets of Attribute Shapes cut at different sizes (recommended customsized to 8, 10, 12 ). Place four small empty bowls on the table. Have children sort by shape. Then ask them to describe the shape in each bowl by naming it, and counting the sides. Extension Give children Circle, Square, Triangle, Rhombus, and Rectangle shapes and art materials. Have them trace each shape and then add details to make it look like something in the environment. For example, a circle can become a clock; two can be wheels on a bike, rhombus can be the center jewel in a necklace; a rectangle can be an apartment building; a triangle can be a climbing structure on the playground. Then have children write a sentence for each picture. 7

12 M At c h i n g p o ly g o n s Whole Class Display Polygons poster. Discuss shapes and shape names. Discuss the characteristics of each shape (number of sides and angles). Define polygon (shape with three or more sides, poly=many, gon=angles). Distribute cutout shapes and flashcards to children. Have children match the cutout shapes to the shape flashcards and write the name of each shape on the cutout. Modification Print and display Shapes: PRE023 poster as a reference. Print 8 ½ x 11 copies, one for each child. Review the meaning of polygon (shape with three or more sides). Have children identify the shapes that are polygons. Give children scissors, notebook paper, and glue. Have them cut out the shapes (with name labels) and sort them by polygon/non-polygon, then glue shapes down, draw a circle around each group and label. Partners Use one or more sets of shapes and flashcards to play Concentration, by matching cutout shapes with the same shape flashcards. Extension Cut out the following four additional shapes for children: Heptagon: MTH310, Nonagon: MTH312, Decagon: MTH307 and Dodecagon: MTH308. Have them combine them with their Pentagon, Hexagon and Octagon from the Whole Class activity. Explain that the suffix -gon means angles. Tell children that a prefix is a word part added to the beginning of a word that changes the meaning of the word. Have children count the sides of each shape to identify the meaning of the prefixes: pent- (5), hex- (6), hept- (7), oct- (8), non- (9), dec- (10), and dodec- (12). Invite them to research the names for shapes with sides and share with the class. 11

Repeat for Animals, Circus, Space, Dinosaur and Fruit Colors & Dot Patterns, separating the shapes into remaining 15 individual bowls. 18

20 patterns & Tessellat i o n s Whole Class Review shape names and attributes for triangles, rectangles, diamonds and hexagons. Display the Rectangle Tessellation poster. Using two different colored markers, begin coloring a simple pattern on the top row of rectangles. After finishing the first row, ask students to guess your pattern. Skip two rows and repeat, using a more complex pattern. Modification Cut out Farm Colors and Dot Patterns and set aside the dots. Using just the chickens, begin a pattern such as brown chicken, color chicken, brown chicken, color chicken. Have the child continue the pattern, placing the appropriate shapes in order. Repeat with barn shapes. Then give children art paper and glue. Have them select their favorite pattern, or make a new one, and glue it to the paper. Extension Discuss the other tessellation patterns and ask children why these shapes can tessellate. Print 8 ½ x 11 copies of Rhombus Tessellation: VIS054 for children. Have them each select two markers and color the vertical rhombi, that look like diamonds, one color and the horizontal rhombi, that look like slanted squares, another color. Can they describe the 3-D image that appears? Have children choose a tessellation pattern to use, or distribute patterns randomly. Let children select two color crayons. Have them use only those colors to make a pattern near the top of the page. Have them write their initials near their patterns. Collect the papers, and randomly redistribute. Have children duplicate the pattern at the bottom of the page and write their initials next to it. Center Activity Place the three bowls for each Colors & Dots Patterns on a different table.

Materials poster Maker: Telling Time: VIS075 Clock 1: VIS275 cutout Maker: Clock: MTH279 other: Dry erase markers Preparation Print and laminate the Clock 1 and Telling Time poster. Print 8 ½ x 11 copies of Telling Time, one for each child. Laminate the copies. Cut out the Clock face and hands on magnetic material, customsized to 9. Tip: Cut out each piece (face, big hand and little hand) in a different color to help children see the difference between the big and the little hand. 20

22 T i m e M e a s u r e m e n t Whole Class Begin the clock activity on the hour. Have children look at the classroom clock as you tell the time. Identify the big hand, or hour hand, and the number it is pointing to (12). Have children identify the little hand, or minute hand, and tell what number it is pointing to. Display the magnetic Clock cutout on a magnetic surface. Have a volunteer use the hands to show the same time as that on the classroom clock. Ask for additional volunteers to show what the clock would look like for various other times, on the hour. Show the laminated Clock 1 poster. Call on a volunteer to come up and draw the big hand on the face of the clock in one color dry erase marker and the little hand on the face of the clock with a different color to match the time on the magnetic clock shape. Have the child write in the time in the blank at the bottom of the page. Erase hands and repeat for various other times, on the hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, ten- and five-minute increments. Center Activity Once you have practiced showing and writing time at hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, ten- and five-minute intervals, provide an opportunity for children to practice on their own. Display Telling Time poster with digital times written in with a dry erase marker. Draw in the hands on the first clock face, beginning with on-the-hour times. Modification Create individual clock cutouts for each child by cutting the Clock shape out of cardstock, using a different color for the face and the two hands. Attach the hands to the clock by placing them one on top of the other, with the non-arrow end of the hands in the center of the face and poking a small hole through all pieces. After poking the hole, insert a brass paper fastener so that the hands can move around and show different times. Read a list of times to the students and have them practice using the hands to show the times on the clock face. Send clock home for additional practice. Extension Print 8 ½ x 11 copies of Telling Time. Have children cut them into 10 separate sections, along the borders between each clock face - digital time section. Give each student two (2) Square Book Covers: BKS161 (Basic) and five (5) Square Book Pages: BKS162 (Basic) and staple together to into a MY DAY book. Have them tape a clock face - digital section at the top of each page (front and back). Then have them illustrate things they do during the day, write a sentence, and complete the clock face digital time to show the time of day for the activity. Have blank, laminated 8 ½ x 11 copies of Telling Time available for each child. Have each child copy the times written in on the poster to their own copy and fill in each of the hands on the clock faces to match the time. The child who correctly draws in the hands for each clock first, copies them onto the poster. Other children should check their work. Repeat activity using half-hour, quarter-hour, ten- and five-minute intervals throughout the week. 21

Center Activity On each small group table, place one set of Money Matters Bulletin Board cutout coins in a large bowl. Each large bowl will have 100 pennies, 20 nickels, 10 dimes, four quarters, two half-dollars and one dollar bill. Label five small bowls: Penny 1, Nickel 5, Dime 10, Quarter 25, Half-dollar 50. Have children sort the coins from the large bowl into the labeled small bowls. When all the coins have been sorted, challenge children to count the money in each small bowl. Modification Give children art paper and glue. Give each child 50 penny cutouts, one nickel, one dime and one quarter from the Money Matters Bulletin Board Collection. Place a nickel cutout on each child s piece of art paper. Tell children, A nickel is worth 5 pennies. Have children glue one cutout nickel to art paper and then glue five cutout pennies next to it. Repeat for dime and quarter. Then have children count the pennies they have left (10). Ask them to name the coin that is worth the same amount as their extra coins (dime). Extension Have children add up the Basic Money cutouts in their envelopes (total: $1.91). Challenge children to total the amount of money in two envelopes ($3.82), three envelopes ($5.73), and so on. 23

Set words aside. Place coins in a large bowl. Cut out the Basic Money coins and bill, and one each of the Dollar Coin Sacagawea 2 and Dollar Susan B. Anthony Coin, one set for each child. Place in an envelope. Cut out Cent Symbol, Dollar Sign, Period/Decimal Point, and Font Numerals 0-9, one set for each child. Place in an envelope with coin cutouts. Cut out shape tags custom-sized to 2-3 from cardstock, using the following shape tags: Square Tag 2, Circle Tag, Rectangle 1 Tag, Diamond Tag, Oval Tag, Hexagon Tag and Octagon Tag. 24

26 Money: dollars and cents Attach string to each tag. Write amounts in cents less than one dollar on each tag. For example: 12, 23, 78, etc. Attach tags to small items in the classroom such as a pencil or a book. Whole Class Give each child an envelope with money and symbol cutouts (Dollar Bill, Dollar Sacagawea 2, Dollar Susan B. Anthony, Half Dollar, Quarter, Dime, Nickel, and Penny coins, Cent Symbol, Dollar Sign, Period/Decimal Point and Font Numerals 0-9). Review monetary values. Have children hold up their quarter. Ask a child how many pennies or cents a quarter is. Repeat their answer, A quarter is twenty-five cents. Hold up the cent symbol, and tell children this symbol means cents or pennies. Have them spread out the symbols and numbers on a table or desk. Then read different amounts of money under one dollar. For example, say, fifty-seven cents. Guide children to put the 5, 7, and together to show 57. Circulate around the room, checking their work. Repeat with other amounts under one dollar. Font Period/ Decimal Point. Modification Read out loud values of and show cutouts for individual coins: penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and half-dollar. Have children use their numerals and money symbols (dollar sign, decimal point and cent symbol) to show the amount two different ways. Extension Font Numerals 0-9 Have children add up the cost of all nine items from the Center Activity. Challenge them to show the combination of bills and coins that would equal that amount using the least number of bills and coins. When children are proficient, introduce how to use the dollar sign and decimal point to show money amounts. Repeat the same amounts, under one dollar, and have children practice using the numerals, dollar sign and decimal point to represent the amount. Challenge students to also show you the coins needed to make each amount. Center Activity Place three items that have price tags on them on each small group table. Place a bowl of coin cutouts from Money Matters Bulletin Board on the table. Have children find the coins they would need to purchase each item in the bowl. Then have them add up the total cost of all three items on the table. Check their work, have them put the coins back in the bowl and move to the next table. Repeat until each group makes their way to each table. 25
