Properties Everywhere Pre-K-2 This lesson captures students’ interest, provides a review of the primary unit objectives, and assesses students’ prior knowledge. Button Trains In this lesson, students describe order by using vocabulary such as before, after, and between. How Many Buttons? In this lesson, students review classification, make sets of a given number, explore relationships between numbers, and find numbers that are one more and one less than a given number. More and More Buttons Students use buttons to create, model, and record addition sentences. Numbers Many Ways Students work with subtraction at the intuitive level as they explore number families and ways to decompose numbers to 10. Lost Buttons In this lesson and the following one, students investigate subtraction more directly, beginning with the easier “take away” mode. Shirts Full of Buttons Students explore subtraction in the comparative mode by answering questions of “How many more?” Looking Back and Moving Forward

STEM Clubs
Each of these resources provides enough material for up to half a term for a STEM club. Most are aimed at students aged 10 to 14, and they are intended to provide a mix of ideas accessible to all students who choose to attend, while not forgetting those who need an extra challenge. These resources are fun for students, but also help them to integrate what they learn in maths, science and technology lessons. Students could also use these resources for a CREST award from the British Science Association. Avalanche! Stage: 2 and 3 Challenge Level: Investigate how avalanches occur and how they can be controlled Helicopters Stage: 2, 3 and 4 Challenge Level: Design and test a paper helicopter. Observing the Sun and the Moon How does the time of dawn and dusk vary? Troublesome Triangles Many natural systems appear to be in equilibrium until suddenly a critical point is reached, setting up a mudslide or an avalanche or an earthquake.

Simple Lift by Kiwi Crate | Get STEAM & STEM Projects
With a little imagination and creativity, there are many things that you can create by learning how to make a simple lift! A parking garage, a dollhouse, a make-believe tree house, and an elevator are just a few ideas. If you have some extra crates or boxes to repurpose this Earth Day, give this DIY a try! How We Did It Cut the lid off your crate. Cut a strip of cardboard from the lid, making it slightly narrower than the interior depth of the crate. Next, place the cardboard strip next to the box. Next cut a thin strip from the remaining cardboard lid, about 1 or 2 inches. On the thin strip of cardboard, measure roughly a half inch from each side and punch a hole. Place the wider strip of cardboard on a flat surface with its tabs folded upward. Measure out and cut a length of string that is about twice the height of your crate when it's standing upright. Now that all of your pieces are made, It's time to decorate! Insert your dowel into the two holes. You now have a working lift!
