| 1. Number Concepts |
- Sort numbers into categories using one or more
attributes. From a list of numbers
Circle numbers that are multiples of 5.
Underline numbers that have a 2 in the tens’ place. Put a box around
numbers that are multiples of 25. Count minutes after the hour by 5’s.
- Count by decades, centuries and millennia. How
many centuries are there from 1 to 2000?
- Rounding off numbers. Use a timeline to record
the years of birth for each family member.
- Look in the newspaper and find numbers. Circle
the number. Find out what the number signifies.
- Develop ‘number’ questionnaires with
students Number of learners in the school Number of countries represented in
the program Number of hours we will study this term
- Use a variety of graphs to represent numbers
Pictographs
Bar graphs
Circle graphs Coordinate graphs
- Compare minutes it takes learners to come to
school
- Understand the relationship between speed limit
and distance travelled
- Write the population of cities/provinces,
discuss place value, and order from smallest to largest
- Discuss municipal, provincial and federal
budgets. The debt is _____billion dollars. Highways will cost _______billion
to build and repair. There will be _____more million put into health care in
2000.
- Discuss and record production numbers on a chart
Cars made in Canada Coins minted in Winnipeg Items manufactured in your
factory Tonnes of wheat/canola exported

| 2. Patterns and Groups |
- Phone numbers have a pattern: 3-digit prefix
plus 4 digits and a 3-digit area code. Record learners’ phone numbers. Do
people living in the same area have the same first 3 digits? There are many
different area codes around the world. Use the phone book to scan for codes of
specific cities/provinces/states.
- Find and discuss number patterns:
30,
300, 3000
11, 22, 33, 44
4, 8, 12, 16
Numbers on family health
cards, drivers’ licences, in catalogues, in postal codes, S.I.N.’s
- Understand number codes in automobile
registration, student numbers, model numbers on electronics, appliances, etc
- Classify foods into categories: grains, fruits
and vegetables, milk, meat and alternatives
- Make comparisons - Compare nutrients found in
packaged foods
- Read and locate streets and specific location on
a city or provincial map. Look in the index for the name and coordinate code.
Tell your partner to name the specific location at B9. Use coordinating
grids to find the street or location: Assiniboine Park at B 9, Ottawa at 22E
- Find and calculate the distance using a highway
map distance chart
- Read a train or bus schedule. Estimate the time
needed to catch it on time.
- Record temperatures over a one-month period on a
grid graph. Draw a line connecting all the temperatures. Analyze the high and
low periods. Record the maximum and minimum temperature.
- Learn about latitude and longitude coordinates.
Find the coordinates for one’s native country. What latitude is the long
border between Canada and the U.S.?
- Organize and describe shapes/patterns in terms
of space, background, repetition of pattern, size, etc, in Art/visual displays
Fabric design/weavings Layout of buildings Furniture arrangement
