Aligned lesson plans

Supermarket sweep: Day 2: Students will participate in a supermarket game and follow a shopping list. Students will compare the quantity of items “purchased” and graph results. Students will also learn a song about shopping in a supermarket.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 English Language Development and Mathematics); By Angela Hunt and Melody Holmes.

Soup's on!: This lesson integrates children's literature and math. The students will listen to "Stone Soup" by Marcia Brown and bring items from home to make "First Grade Soup." The children will use the items to create a graph and share information about their graphs.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Vicki Rivenbark.

Math in the White House: This plan uses an online tour of the White House to reinforce the concept of tallying.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Bunnie R. Brewer, Missy Colborn, Kathy Hale, Kim Roberson, and Emily White.

Learning about rocks: In this lesson, students will be engaged in hands-on experiences while they explore rocks.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics and Science); By Debbie Hansman.

Graphing with food: Students will use a variety of foods to make graphs. Each food should be used for a separate lesson for a total of ten lessons.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Bunnie R. Brewer.

Graphing the week's temperature: Students will collect data, create a graph, and analyze information about the temperatures for a week using Graph Club Software.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Maureen King.

Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!: Using chocolate as a theme, students will become involved in reading, writing, math, word study/spelling and other developmentally appropriate (integrated) activities. The unit includes centers for the classroom along with whole group activities.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Luwonna Oakes.

Body graphing: "Body Graphing" is an interactive graphing activity involving manipulatives to compare graphing results. With the use of ropes and unifix cubes students will learn to compare and contrast their body with classmates. The graphing activity can be extended to graph differences with height, hair and eye color, and other physical attributes.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By patsy morgan.

Bearly estimating: This is a lesson which allows students to explore with estimation in cooperative learning groups.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Melissa Geiser.
