Here is an easy to use resource that supports and extends any mathematics program. These activities can be used to teach and reinforce graphing skills for every month of the school year. Includes suggestions for different ways to make large and small graphs, and weather graphing ideas. 43 pages

Experienced educators share their best, classroom-tested ideas in this teacher-friendly, activity-based resource. The grade 1 book is divided into four units: Needs and Characteristics of Living Things Materials, Objects, and Everyday Structures Energy in Our Lives Understanding Earth and Space Systems STAND-OUT COMPONENTS custom-written for the Ontario curriculum uses an inquiry-based scientific and technological approach TIME-SAVING, COST-EFFECTIVE FEATURES includes resources for both teachers and students a four-part instructional process: activate, action, consolidate and debrief, enhance an emphasis on technology, sustainability, and personalized learning a fully developed assessment plan for assessment for, as, and of learning a focus on real-life technological problem solving learning centres that focus on multiple intelligences and universal design for learning (UDL) land-based learning activities and Makerspace centres access to digital image banks and digital reproducibles (Find download instructions in the Appendix of the book.)

The activities in this book, based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematic standards for Algebra, build upon a student's experience with numbers, geometric figures, and graphs. Each activity is linked to one or more of the five major process strands for mathematics: Problem solving, Communication, Reasoning and proof, Representation, and Connections.

Introduce students to weather. This unit contains hands-on activities, which allow students to discover weather in a fun way. For grades 3-5, the focus of this earth science unit is to develop skills in weather reporting on video, researching, graphing weather data, reading weather maps, computer searching, and conducting experiments with an emphasis on the scientific method. The activities are designed to encourage oral interaction, creativity and co-operative learning. The following concepts will be developed throughout the use of this unit: many of life's activities are affected by the weather; specific conditions usually precede certain weather changes; seasons have distinct weather conditions and they change continually; weather is responsible for cyclical patterns found in the natural world; and the students should become familiar with the scientific method.

Gonk and Beezy, two amphibian friends, hold a contest to see who can make better graphs. Includes information about different kinds of graphs.
