13. Math Time!
8:40 – 9:30

14. Following Directions Lesson
Take out a clean sheet of notebook paper and something to write with.
Place it in front of you on your desk.

15. Following Directions Lesson
Fold your paper in half long ways “hot dog style”.

16. Following Directions Lesson
Open your paper up and place it holes to the top on your desk.
Draw a line all the way down the crease on the paper.
“DO NOT WRITE ON THE DESK!!”

17. Following Directions Lesson
Fold the paper in half the other way “hamburger style”.
You can see my line because I used a Sharpie Marker and it bled through the paper.

18. Following Directions Lesson
Open the paper up with the holes to the top.
Draw a line from the center of the paper to the margin closest to you.

19. Following Directions Lesson
Fold the paper like you had it last “hamburger style”.
Then fold it over again in the same direction as you folded it last.

20. Following Directions Lesson
Open the paper up.
Draw a line on each of the creases half way to the bottom margin.
Then fold your paper back up like you last had it.

21. Following Directions Lesson
Fold the paper over one more time in the same direction as your last fold, making it even more slender.

22. Following Directions Lesson
Open the paper up.
Draw lines on the four creases half as long as the last lines you drew, or ¼ of the way to the bottom margin.

23. Following Directions Lesson
Draw small lines on our paper in between each of the lines already on your paper and the left and right edges.
Make the lines extend down and be half as long as the last lines drawn.

24. Following Directions Lesson
Next, draw lines on the left and right edges all the way down below the margin, half way between the margin and the bottom of the paper.
And in case you haven’t already figured it out, we are making a ruler.

25. Reading a Ruler
Now all you have to do is count the lines as you go from left to right. 3 5 1 7 9 11 13 15 2 6 10 14 4 12 8 16

26. Reading A Ruler
By counting you realize that you have 16 equal parts to an inch.
Next you show each number as a fraction or portion of the total number 16.
1/16
3/16
5/16
7/16
9/16
11/16
13/16
15/16
2/16
6/16
10/16
14/16
4/16
12/16
8/16
16/16

27. Reading A Ruler
Next, you must remember from math that a fraction should always be expressed in lowest possible terms.
1/16 for example is in its lowest form, it cannot be reduced any farther.
2/16 however, can be reduced.
2 is the numerator (top number in a fraction)
16 is the denominator (bottom number in a fraction)

28. Reading A Ruler
2/16 can be reduced by 2. This means that both 2 and 16 are divisible by 2.
2 divided by 2 = 1
16 divided by 2 = 8
Therefore our reduced fraction will be 1/8.

29. Reading A Ruler Now lets take 3/16, will it reduce?
I bet that someone said yes!
Some people look at the three as the numerator and the six in the sixteen (denominator) and automatically think that this fraction will reduce. However, it will not reduce.
3/16 is already in its lowest terms.

30. Reading A Ruler
Next, lets look at 4/16. Yes it will reduce. There are two ways to reduce fractions like this one. If you’re a math wiz, you might say that 4 will go into 16. If you do, you are right. You can divide the numerator into the denominator. This is the quickest of the two ways, but you can divided both the numerator and the denominator by 2, twice. You have to be careful to get fractions like this one into lowest possible terms.

31. Reading A Ruler The easiest way to deal with 4/16: 4 divided by 4 = 1
Your reduced fraction is ¼.

32. Reading A Ruler The other way to deal with 4/16 is: 4 divided by 2 = 2
Your fraction is 2/8, but is it reduced to lowest possible terms? NO, you have to reduce again.
2 divided by 2 = 1
8 divided by 2 = 4
Your reduced fraction is 1/4

33. Reading A Ruler
Now that you know how to reduce these fractions, you finish reducing the rest of the fractions on your ruler.

34. Reading A Ruler
Now Check your fractions against these correct answers.
1/16

35. Now that you know how to use a ruler, here are some short cuts for you.
As you have noticed, the lines are different lengths on the ruler.
As we go across one more time pay attention to the line length and the denominator associated with it.

39. Reading A Ruler
Now let’s look at the whole ruler. Can you tell me what would be the correct measurement for the letter A.
The answer is /16.
You start at the whole number and you add the calculated fraction to the whole number to give the correct distance. A 6 5

40. Reading A Ruler What is the correct measurement for the letter A.
The answer is /16.
What is the correct measurement for the letter B.
The answer is /8.
What is the correct measurement for the letter C.
The answer is /4. A B C 11 10

41. Reading A Ruler
Now you know how to read a ruler and deal with the fractions involved.
But these are measurements, and have to be expressed as measurements. Write the following notes on your paper.
This standard ruler is to be expressed in inches or in. or “. Example: 1 ½”
12 inches is equal to 1 foot or ft. or ‘. Example 4’ 1 ½”
Three feet is equal to 1 yard or yd.

49. RULER REVIEW
Customary or standard measurement will use a ruler that states INCHES.
A ruler is made up of twelve inches. Each one of those inches can be divided into smaller more precise measurements.

51. Customary or Standard Measurement
People in the United States of America generally use customary or standard units of measurement. Some of these units include inches, feet, yards, miles, ounces, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons.
9:40 – 10:25

52. Customary or Standard Measurement
Sometimes when you measure you may not need to be precise. That’s when you can estimate, BUT sometimes it is essential to have an exact or precise measurement!

53. Math Stash - Units of Length.
It is a measure of the length of an object. The common units for measuring lenght in the customary system are inches, feet, yards, and miles.
Examples: A ruler is a foot. There are 12 inches in a foot. A football field is measured in yards. The distance from here to Flagstaff is measured in miles.

54. There are 12 inches in a foot.
12 in. = 1 foot.
1 ruler = 12 inches/1 foot

55. Football/soccer fields are measured in yards.
There are 3 feet in a yard.
3 ft. = 1 yd.
36 in. = 1 yd.
Football/soccer fields are measured in yards.

56. There are 1,760 yards in a mile
Miles
There are 1,760 yards in a mile
1,760 yd. = 1 mi.
The distance from here to Flagstaff is measured in miles.

68. What’s our FOCUS for reading?
So, we know we will be focusing our reading about the main character of each passage. So we can jot our thinking as we read and then at the end we will do the FAST method to sum up our thinking!

69. OK. We are going to read a short text
OK! We are going to read a short text. Our goal will be to analyze the main character through their feelings, actions, sayings and thoughts. I will model my thinking with the first text. PAY ATTENTION! You will be doing the second text tomorrow!

70. The first passage is “Fall of the Year” from the book The Long Winter, a novel by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Laura and her family live on the prairie. They grow their own food and harvest and store their crops during the fall in order to have enough to eat during the long winter months.
The setting is important to notice! This is a LONG time ago on a prairie. That was around the 1800s. Life was very very different then. As we read, pay attention to how to Laura talks and how she acts.

71. 1-I can see that Laura is helping her dad
1-I can see that Laura is helping her dad. That gives me my first glimpse as to her character. She is helpful.

72. 6-Again, I see she is doing chores-that backs up her being helpful

73. 11-This gives me another glimpse at Laura’s character-she is obedient because she really doesn’t like to pick the potatoes but she does it anyway because she knows someone has to do it. 19- this confirms she really didn’t like doing it, but she still did it.

74. 22- shows how optimistic she is
22- shows how optimistic she is. She knew they had a small harvest of food that had to last through the winter, but she was very optimistic about it being enough.

75. OK, let’s sum up our thinking with the FAST method!
Feelings
Actions
Sayings
Thoughts
You can make an organizer by folding a piece of paper to make four boxes
Fill this in while talking out loud your thoughts. The next slide has the ‘answers’ filled in. It will be much more effective for you to not show that slide, but to use that slide for yourself as a guide while you model thinking and filling this in. POST THE COMPLETED ONE YOU MAKE UP IN THE ROOM SO IT CAN BE REFERENCED LATER IN THE WEEK.
I would mention that if you have a hard time thinking of a trait that fits, you can always look back at the page with traits listed.

76. OK, let’s sum up our thinking with the FAST method!
Feelings
We know she loves the world around her.
Actions
She is obedient. She does chores she doesn’t like because she knows it needs to be done
Sayings
She is respectful in the way she talks to her parents.
Thoughts
She is optimistic because she knows that they will be ok even with a small harvest.

77. Part A has me realizing this is not a definition but a figurative language phrase. The air didn’t really bite her cheeks so this is personification. Look at paragraph 7. The sentence says the air bit her cheeks and scorched the inside of her nose with cold. So let me see what I can get rid of. I know it’s not A because it was cold. B talks about it being chilly, but chilly is not COLD so maybe it is C. I’ll look at D to check. It didn’t mention feeling the icy grass through her shoes so I do believe it will be C. Part B-the only one that supports really cold is C. (you can do the whole elimination with your thinking)

78. Paragraph 21 Pa says “We’ll have quite a harvest” so he was also confident that the family would have enough food. That means it can’t be B. Neither one of them was disappointed so it is not C. Also, Laura never acted like she was unhappy. This was the world she knew. This means the answer is A.
Part B says TWO details!! TWO means how many??? The answers are B and F. Please have the kids discuss and talk through to get the answer.
