Overview/General Instructions

studying, like weather. For example, look in


the newspaper and find a city that received
some rain, another city that received more
rain, and a third city that received the most
rain. Graph the results for extra practice.

Prior to handing out worksheets, review


concepts and talk about synonyms and
antonyms, if they exist.

Whole-Half-More
Show your students how to make a heart by
folding a sheet of paper in half and drawing
half a heart on the folded edge. Use the
words half and whole to explain what to do.
For example, take a whole sheet of paper,
fold it in half, and then . . . .

Have your students use the target words to


talk about the worksheet after it's completed.
For example, "All of the animals have tails,
but none of the animals have antlers."

Worksheet Instructions
All-Some-None
After your students have completed the
worksheet on page 84, have them brainstorm
other features that all and none of the
animals and people on the worksheet have.

Few-Several-Many
Brainstorm a list of Many Things and Several
Things on the chalkboard. For example,
under Many Things you might list stars in the
sky or hairs on your head, and under Several
Things you might list fingers on one hand or
bananas in a bunch.

Divide your students into small groups. Have


each group write down three things they all
have and three things none of them have.
Then have the groups share their results with
each other.

Dozen
Talk about how egg cartons have 12
compartments. Use egg cartons to count out
12 buttons, pennies, or other small items.
Put items in and take them out to show how
numbers can be added together and
subtracted to make 12 or one dozen.

Both-Each-All-None
Give each student a copy of pages 86 and
87. Read about these countries in an
encyclopedia or a reference book. Have your
students find out about plants and resources
for each country and add them to their maps.

Have each of your students count out 12


small items, like buttons, pennies, or
macaroni shells to make a collage. Post the
pictures on a Dozen Bulletin Board.

Every
Play "Simon Says Every One." Insert the
word every in your instructions. For example,
say "Every boy wearing jeans stand up" or
"Every girl hop on one foot."

Add-Subtract
Cue your students into key words to look for
in word problems that tell them which
process (addition/subtraction) to use. For
example, some key words for addition are
how many in all and altogether. Some key

Some-More-Most
Help students understand that some in this
instance refers to the least amount. Tie
these concepts into a unit your students are

words for subtraction are how many less,


more, or left. For practice, read some
problems out loud and have your students
raise their hands when they hear a key word,
or have them circle the key words in
problems before they do the math.

Have your students make up their own word


problems. Then have each student trade
papers with a partner and solve each other's
word problems.
Total-Sum
After your students complete the worksheet
on page 108, repeat the survey with your
students. Compare your results with Ms.
Chou's class.

Some students have difficulty finding the


important information in word problems.
Give your students practice crossing out the
information in word problems that doesn't
help them solve the problems.

How Much More?-How Much Less?


Practice these concepts and making change
at the same time. Set up a pretend store
with money and items to buy. Have your
students take turns being the cashier and
the customer.

Multiply-Divide-Altogether
Remind your students that multiplying is a
fast way to add groups of numbers. If you
know how many are in a group and you know
how many groups, you multiply to find out
how many there are altogether.

How Many More?-How Many Fewer?


Divide your students into two teams for a
Read-A-Thon. See which team can read
more books in one month. Tally the numbers
and talk about which team read more/fewer
books and how many more/fewer they read.

Explain to your students that when you


divide, you put things into groups. If you
know how many there are altogether and
how many groups there are, you divide to
find out how many are in each group.

After your students complete the worksheet


on page 112, have them keep track of what
they eat each day for a week. Have each
student tally the number of servings he eats
from each food group for each day and
compare results with a partner. Have them
decide how many more or fewer helpings
to have from certain food groups to
eat healthier.

Call your students' attention to key words to


look for in word problems. For example, if
you see each in the word problem, such as
Each person has a quarter, you usually
need to multiply because some groups are
involved. For division, the word each is
usually in the question, such as How many
will each person get?

Dear Family,
Weve been practicing special math words in class. Some of these words are
______________________________________________________________.
Here are some ways you can help me practice these words at home.
Use these words to talk about activities we do together, such as setting
the table, making supper, and doing the laundry. For example, This pile
has the most clothes. How many fewer are in that pile?
Play a guessing game by describing what we are wearing or what we
have. For example, All of us are wearing blue ones (jeans) or None of
us wear these to read (glasses).
Use snack time to practice math concepts. For example, if I have four
crackers to divide equally (share) with another child, how many crackers
do we each get? Another time to practice math could be if I have eight
grapes and I eat three, how many do I have left? Then if I take two more
grapes, how many do I have altogether? Take turns making up problems
and solving (eating) them!
Im really proud of what Im learning! Thank you for helping me!
Love,
