Arithmetickle Vertical Alignment to k-2 (integer understanding)

Since kindergarden through 2nd graders would have a hard time understanding "sea level" in order to introduce integers you can ask students if they have a one, two story house. You can then ask them what happens when they go up and down the stairs. You can ask them if they can go any lower than the first floor and get ideas. Explain that positive integers would represent going higher and negative integers would represent going downstairs.

Smaug's treasure. Smaug (the big dragon) was covered with treasure. We can give the treasure pieces an average size and determine how many pieces of treasure that Smaug was covered by given a specific size.

Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games "War" Math/Science

# data[].attributes.body
Hunger Games and Lord of the Rings both contain fighting sequences. A simple example could be figuring out how far/what arc an arrow will take given different strength bows and how how much strength is used to pull the bow back (more science style).

Obvious connections to measurement conversions, units of measurement, and relationship tables. Use this book (or any) to allow students to write their own story covering the same math content. As students become familiar with this process, they can identify concepts in familiar and unfamiliar texts as well.

Probability- when Gollum is tasked with figuring out what is in Frodo's pocket and he has three chances to guess. Students can estimate how many objects in the world are small enough to fit in someone's pocket. When they have an estimate, that is the "whole" or the denominator. Since Gollum only has three opportunities to guess, the numerator is 3. So you have a fraction of 3/x to determine the probability of Gollum succeeding in the challenge presented.

Use this story to introduce area and perimeter, specifically leading to quadrilaterals with the same area and a different perimeter or vice versa.

Adapted: can be used with elapsed time, could eat the cookies with fractions, students can modify the story to add more math within, can be used with measurement

I Must Remember (Calendar/days of the week)
The Flag (one to one correspondence)
Listen to the Mustn''ts (use poem to get started with anchor charts on Do's and Dont's  with math--manipulatives, writing numbers)
Smart (use poem to teach money)

Hidden:  comparing numbers and/or weight
Cross-Curricular wonderful vocabulary for RELA, historical figures for Social Studies

# data[].attributes.body
Obvious is counting
Hidden addition, subtraction and fractions
Cross-Curricular in science it can be used to discuss attributes, picture of different kinds of snails

Direct Mathematical Concepts, students are presented with a variety of story problems, teacher can use it to discuss operations and strategies to solve the problems, also good exposure for creating story problems, can be used to kinder-3rd

Use book to pull out mathematical vocabulary (large, bundle, bunch, enough, twice, hundred, rows, double, weigh, etc)

Cross curricular activities:
Have students make a Timeline from morning-night using story details and description to prove time of day/time order showing order of events.

Middle School - students create their own table (in back of book) that can work with doubles and squared numbers
Elementary - can use with multiplication
A great book to help differentiate between adding (doubling) or multiplying times two.
Real World Application - connect the story to the 52 Week Money Challenge. You can also have students make their own goals. For example - "How could you save to pay for your first year of college?"

Use the book to count on using a number line, add one, teach size comparison (small to large) and then relate it to least to greatest with number line; ordinal numbers, total, sum
Adapt by having old lady swallow shapes (3 sides/triangle to 8 sides/octagon...)

end of kinder use the book to practice creating your own quilt using pattern blocks
1st grade use the book to discuss fractions (halves to make wholes) as well as a geometry discuss the attributes of a square and a rectangle
2nd grade use the book to discuss multiplication and arrays, students can figure out the original quilt and the final quilt, students can also create their own quilts with the same products
