Math Trail AdventureLeslie Carter

Math Trails Today our class will be going on a math adventure around our school. We will be viewing lots of different pictures related to math and performing a variety of math operations. I hope you will enjoy this Math Trail adventure…so let’s get our learn on! Have Fun!!

Students will begin their math trail in Room 411. Students will work problem #r 1. When students have completed problem number one they will turn right out the door and then turn right again and then back to the left and will arrive in the library to work problem#2.

Essential Question: How does knowing a variety of math operations help us to function and be successful in our daily life?

Standard: MCC1.NBT.2 Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones.

Task: Find the number 84 on the chart. Look at the number. Write down how many tens and how many ones are in the number 84.

Once you have solved this math problem you are off on your mathematical adventure. Now turn left out the door and take 50 steps and your will find your next math destination.

Standard: MCC1.MD.1 Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.

Task: Look at the school bus, the doll, and the grey books below those items. Which one of those three items would be the longest?

After you solve problem #2 then walk out the door and take 40 step and walk into classroom 312 and look at the next math trail.

Standard: MCC1.OA.6 Add and subtract within 20, demonstratingfluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategiessuch as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 +4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 =13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship betweenaddition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, oneknows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier orknown sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the knownequivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).

Task: Look at the number dots on the wall. Write and addition equation that will equal the number 6. Then write the related subtraction fact problem.

Once you have solved this math problem take a left out the door and walk twenty steps and go into room 302. Look at the number line on the wall. This will be your problem #4.

Standard: MCC1.NBT.1 Count to 120,starting at any number less than120. In this range, read and writenumerals and represent a numberof objects with a written numeral

Task: Find the number 12 on the number line. Represent 12 any way that you choose to on your paper. Then count up by 1’s as high as you can until you get to 120.

Once you have solved problem #4 then take a right out the door and take 10 steps and turn right into the next room 306 and you will see problem #5.

Standard MCC1.MD.4 Organize, represent, andinterpret data with up to threecategories; ask and answer questionsabout the total number of data points,how many in each category, and howmany more or less are in one category

than in another.

Task: Look at this graph and interpret it. Then write 3 facts about this graph from the information on it.

Go out of the room and take a right out the door and walk 20 steps take a right and then walk 15 more and you are back where we started from in room 411.

Now lets look at our Math Trial problems and discuss them and review. I hope you had a fun adventure on our Math Trail Adventure and learned a variety of math skills!
