I made this project for my grade 2/3 class so that they can explore who Terry Fox is, some of the smaller, and the bigger challenges he faced in life; and, how he transformed these challenges from problems to solutions. I want my students to explore how his positive mindset is something even they being so young can achieve during their everyday life. The activities were also made with the intention of scaffolding my young students' ability to write complete sentences on their own. This resource includes: - a colouring page, including a "shoe" to colour - an illustrated writing prompt poster - 2 map activities, one of which displays the QR code to my Canada Drag and Drop game. My students LOVE this game. We play as the class at the end of the day. - 2 Terry Fox themed word searches, which display the QR code for my Terry Fox crossword generator. Students can shuffle the words and PLAY AGAIN. - 2 short information sheets with accompanying writing activities - 3 writing templates - 36 situation cards (growth mindset prompts). There is a paper-based booklet that goes with the cards. There are some lines at the bottom of each card so that you can use these cards as a daily writing activity. To help students read the cards, the paper-based cards each display a QR code to my ONLINE Terry Fox Situation Card Page (see Pinterest https://pin.it/7xL93qnxp) where user can click on the card and listen to the situation on the card be read aloud. You could also have the students act out solutions to the everyday grade 2/3 problems written on the cards. I hope you enjoy this resource! Note: This resource could also be appropriate for older grades.

About this Resource This product is a fun way to either introduce or review area and perimeter. See the table of contents below for what is included. Planning & Planting a Garden: Jayla's Garden with 1 digit numbers Two story problems to introduce the activity. The first problem has students identify the area and perimeter in square units. The second problem has students identify the area and perimeter in square feet. Planning & Planting a Garden: Jayla's Garden with 2 digit numbers Planning and Planting My Garden Version 1: This version does not have students apply the area and perimeter formula. This activity allows students to get creative and design their own garden using a suggested list of flowers and/or vegetables. Students will color code their plan for a garden, then calculate the area and perimeter for each type of flower or section in their garden. Planning and Planting My Garden Rough Draft Grid Paper: This page is for students’ rough draft of their garden. Students can sketch out a plan and then calculate the area and perimeter. Planning and Planting My Garden Grid Paper: This page is for students’ final draft of their garden. You might also show your students pictures of each type of flowers to help them decide what types of flowers they would like to include. Google images works wonders! Students could also work in small groups on computers to search for the different types of flowers. These are just some suggestions to extend the activities. Farm Fields of Fruit (Half Sheet): This problem could be used as an exit slip, formative assessment, or simply as a classwork problem. Because there are so many steps, we used this problem in our math notebooks. Farm Fields of Fruit (Full Sheet with Work Space): This is the same problem as above, but in a worksheet style format. Gardening with Area & Perimeter: Students completed Farm Fields of Fruit in their Math Journal with a partner. Students completed Planning and Planting a Garden {Jayla’s Garden} Planning and Planting My Garden Students design their own garden with choices of flowers and vegetables. They sketch it out on the Rough Draft pages. Then find the area and perimeter of each section. Finally, they color in the final draft. You can put on construction paper as a backing to display in your classroom or hallway. 🛑 Are you a member of the TLL Membership? These materials are already included.
