ConnecƟons to Literature Promote Language Development One of the rich features of the programs are the varied language opportunities for students to maintain and generalize new learning across time and settings. StoryTime and Read to Me use hundreds of children’s stories to bring math to life, building vocabulary and promoting language development. Story-based activities provide students with original problems to solve, ways to practice mental math and opportunities to develop problem-solving skills. Games and activities also provide opportunities to develop individual behavioral and group social skills. Literature Ties Math to the Real World Sample StoryTime Activity Lesson 5, Page 12 E - Turtle Splash! Falwell, Cathryn Summary: One by one, ten turtles splash into the pond. It’s a colorful countdown that you can be a part of. Activity: After reading the story, pass Number Cards out to 10 students. Have them come to the front and put themselves in order from 1 to 10. Now read the story again. As a turtle jumps off the log, have the last number sit down. Each time, ask students how many turtles are still on the log. Next, ask if the students can tell you a number sentence that explains what is happening each time a turtle jumps off the log (10 – 1 = 9, 9 – 1 = 8). Next, pick 10 different students to come to the front to be the turtles and hold the cards. Make up your own story problems for the students to act out. For example, “There were 10 turtles on a log in a pond. A frog hops by and 3 turtles jump off the log. How many turtles are on the log now? What is the number sentence that will solve that problem?” (10 – 3 = 7). Give each student a blue piece of construction paper and a smaller piece of brown construction paper. Have them cut out a log for their 10 turtles (10 green interlocking cubes) to sit on. Continue making up word problems for the students to solve using their counters. Finally, give each student 10 green circles. They will glue some on their log and the others should be placed at the bottom of the pond. They will fill in the sentence, “(Name) saw 10 turtles on a log in the pond. A ____ came by and ___ turtles jumped off the log. Now there are ___ turtles on the log. 10 – ___ = ___.” These may be placed in a class book or put on a bulletin board. 12 Literature Sets (varied titles) PKBK Pre-K Literature Set $290.00 CKBK KGN Literature Set $200.00 C1BK Gr 1 Literature Set $200.00 C2BK Gr 2 Literature Set $200.00 Connections FABK Level A Literature Set $200.00 FBBK Level B Literature Set $200.00 FIMBK IM Literature Set $200.00 Foundations MBTABKv2 Level A Literature Set $200.00 MBTBBKv2 Level B Literature Set $200.00 MBTCBKv2 Level B Literature Set $200.00 Math by Topic Read to Me
