I have to share this rockin' activity inspired by an awesome math teacher and blogger, To The Square Inch. In fourth grade, we learn about tenths and hundredths. It's a hard one for kids to get! Once we understand these place values, we turn them into fractions and put tenths on numberlines.... It's a lot. For students AND teacher.... Anyway, I saw this activity a few years ago on Pinterest and tweeked it for my kiddos since it originally had the students working with percents and fractions. It's now our "Hundredths Design Square". First, the students color a square hundredths model using four different colors. Then they count the colored squares and record each color as a decimal. After that, they turn it into a fraction. The kids LOVE IT! And it sure is fun! Check out these awesome designs!

This week I tried something new with the vocabulary in the story. I got the idea at a First Grade Conference in December. The student writes the vocabulary word in the middle of the sheet and then there are four things to do with the word. We completed two of the boxes together as a class and they finished the last two boxes independently. The kiddos sure had a great grasp of the vocabulary after this. When we read the story they had fantastic comprehension.

Investigate the formula for calculating the area of a circle using cereal O’s to measure everyday circular objects. This full lesson plan begins with a guided inquiry and then has students work in groups to investigate the relationship between a circle’s area and the area of a square with sides the length of the radius. In a class discussion, you’ll calculate pi by averaging the ratios of everyone’s measurements. Reflection and extension ideas are included. This activity can either be an introduction to the formula for finding the area of a circle, or it can be used to help students develop a deeper understanding of the formula after they’ve learned it. Prior to beginning this activity, students should know vocabulary for the basic parts of a circle, including circumference, center, diameter, and radius. They should be very familiar with the concept of area, understand that the area of a square is equal to the square of its sides, and have experience subdividing polygons into rectangles and triangles to develop formulas for area. A full, free preview is available above to help you decide if this activity will be a good fit for your classroom.
