Title: Chicka, Chicka, 1, 2, 3

Overview/Annotation: Students will complete a hands-on activity by sorting, estimating, counting, and graphing data. Students will sort apples by size, color, and taste. Students will interpret the data and create a graph.

Content Standard(s):

MA2010 (K) 3. Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects). [K-CC3] MA2010(K) 6. Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies. (Include groups with up to ten objects.) [K-CC6] MA2010 (K) 16. Classify objects into given categories; count the number of objects in each category, and sort the categories by count. (Limit category counts to be less than or equal to 10.) [K-MD3]

Local/National Standards: Primary Learning Objective(s): Students will classify and count the apples on the tree by color.

Students will classify and count the numbers on the tree.

Students will complete graph to count objects that have been classified into categories.

Additional Learning Objective(s): The students will be able to see the graph projected on a LCD projector.

The students will be able to identify vocabulary words such as graph, category and classify.

Approximate Duration of the Lesson: 61 to 90 Minutes Materials and Equipment:

 Apples in red, yellow, and green

Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 Big Books

Graph paper

Magnet Numbers

pencils

Technology Resources Needed:

Computer with internet access

Smart board

Smart Notebook

Microsoft word program

Background/Preparation: The teacher should prepare to have each child an apple. The teacher should prepare all work pages ahead of time. The page should be available to project with the Smart board.

Students should already have knowledge of counting, sorting, colors and numbers.

Procedures/Activities: 1. To activate prior knowledge, we will read the book Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 by: Bill Martin, Michael Sampson, and Lois Ehlert. During and after reading, we would discuss the story. The book is about counting and classifying colors in different categories. If needed, they will review their vocabulary words, sorting, and categorizing. 2. Students will sort and count various objects that were placed in baskets. Students can classify the objects by colors and numbers. If needed, color words can be reviewed. 3. As a whole group, we will count the numbers on the PowerPoint presentation. The students will sort objects as well. 4. After completing the activities on the carpet the students will go to their desk. 5. The students will be given their Apples to compare the color and taste. 6. The student will be given approximately 10 minutes to "guess or estimate" how many apples we have in the classroom. 7. Then I will display on the board a sorting paper just like the students using a projector. This will help us to do the activity together discussing each item. 8. After the students have written down their estimate, they will have to count each item in the classroom. They need to record all answers on their paper. 9. After the student gets their answer, they need to put the total amount at the bottom of their paper. 10. While the students are doing the activity the teacher will be circulating around the room making sure all students are on task. 11. After all items have been counted and recorded on the sheet and discussed then the students may taste their apple.

Assessment Strategies: The assessment for this lesson will be informal. Students will sort the numbers by color and put how many of each on the sorting page provided. Questions will be asked during the lesson to evaluate the students understanding of the activity.

Extension: Students will use the data collected to determine if their guess was close to the correct answer.

As a center activity, students will make a little reader book to take home.

Remediation: Work in a small group to help those who have trouble sorting or counting. Also try using manipulative to help with sorting or counting. Use different color bears, or linking cubes.
