This three-part, hands-on lesson uses baking to teach students how to understand, compare, and work with fractions. Students measure ingredients, double and triple recipes to practice adding and multiplying fractions, and identify and compare fractions in their own recipes.
Number lines make explicit and build upon pre-existing spatial-numeric intuitions, support children’s growing understanding of ratio, proportion and scaling, and help students to construct and internalize a “mental number line” that continues to develop in complexity from kindergarten through university mathematics and beyond.
A three-part lesson exploring how sound works and how we perceive it. Through classroom experiments—such as testing how sound travels through different materials and environments—and neighbourhood sound walks, students will fine-tune their listening skills and develop an appreciation for the subtleties in their surroundings.
In collaboration with YAAACE, The Robertson Program set out to develop a series of engaging activities aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of probability and statistics among a fifth-grade competitive basketball team.
Quilts are holders of stories about community, culture, tradition, celebration – and even math! Picture books focused on quilts can help students build skills, such as spatial sense skills by thinking about patterns, shapes, angles, symmetry and much more.
Solar eclipses can be a catalyst to understanding the alignment, orbits and relationship of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. Ask students, “Why don’t we have an eclipse every month?” before launching into an inquiry of the Moon that uses daily observations, 2D models, informative videos, and classroom discussion to inspire students’ curiosity about the solar system.
