Math and Social Studies Project for Grade 1

Grade 1MathSocial Studies1 days

This first-grade project integrates math and social studies by exploring the relationship between math and the concept of 'ajdhaskjdhaskjdlasd' in students' daily lives and community. Students will identify shapes, create maps of familiar spaces, track their daily math usage, and investigate how community helpers utilize math in their jobs. The project aims to enhance students' understanding of basic math concepts and their ability to apply these concepts to real-world situations, fostering a connection between math and their community.

Entry Events

Events that will be used to introduce the project to students

Community Challenge Kick-Off

A local community member presents a problem they face that requires the skills students will learn during the project to solve.

📚

Portfolio Activities

These activities progressively build towards your learning goals, with each submission contributing to the student's final portfolio.

Activity 1

Shape Detectives

Students will begin by exploring basic shapes and numbers through the lens of their community. They will identify and count different shapes they see in buildings, signs, and other local structures.

Steps

Here is some basic scaffolding to help students complete the activity.

1. Go on a walk around the school or neighborhood.

2. Identify and draw different shapes (circles, squares, triangles) found in the environment.

3. Count how many of each shape you find.

4. Create a scrapbook page with your drawings, labeling each shape and writing the number of times you found it.

Final Product

What students will submit as the final product of the activityA scrapbook page with drawings or photos of community elements labeled with shapes and numbers.
