Many students in the US think of Pi as a number they should memorize, when the most important idea for students to learn is that Pi is a very cool relationship, that exists inside all circles in the world. In this task students will find that relationship themselves, through cutting and folding, and be asked to reflect on it.

Task Instructions

1. Construct a circle with a radius of 2 - 4 inches

2. Fold the circle into quarters and cut along the folds

3. Cut one of the quarters into eighths, two equal parts

4. Glue the pieces onto a piece of paper and draw the rectangle

5. The rectangle, ABCD has approximately the same area as the circle.

6. Calculate the area of rectangle ABCD

7. Construct another circle congruent to your first circle

8. Fold the circle into eighths, or eight equal sectors

9. Fit the circle pieces into a rectangle

10. Calculate the approximate are by determining the area of the rectangle.

11. Repeat the steps for a congruent circle cut into 16 sectors

12. AB is approximately half of the circumference, 2πr, why? This means AB = πr

13. Why does BC = r?

14. The area of rectangle ABCD is

Area ABCD = AB x BC = πr x r = πr²

Slow Reveal Graph is an instructional routine that promotes sensemaking about data. This highly engaging routine uses scaffolded visuals and discourse to help students (in K-12 and beyond) make sense of data. As more and more of the graph is revealed, students refine their interpretation and construct meaning, often in surprising ways.

About this item

The Jacob's Ladder Reading Comprehension Program targets reading comprehension skills in high-ability learners by moving students through an inquiry process from basic understanding to critical analyses of texts, using a field-tested method developed by the Center for Gifted Education at William & Mary. Students in grade 5 will learn to comprehend and analyze any reading passage after completing the activities in Jacob's Ladder, Grade 5 (2nd ed., previously published as Level 3).

Research conducted by the Center for Gifted Education with Title 1 students demonstrated that the Jacob's Ladder Reading Comprehension Program delivers results related to improved reading comprehension, increased critical thinking, and an enhanced interest in reading. Using skill ladders connected to short stories, poetry, essays, and nonfiction, students move from lower order, concrete thinking skills to higher order, critical thinking skills. The ladders include multiple skills necessary for academic success, covering language arts standards such as sequencing, determining cause and effect, classifying, inferencing, and recognizing main ideas. The second edition of the book builds off the previous Level 3 edition, including new readings and ladders for student use.

This book provides teachers with an explanation of the nature of supplementary tasks that scaffold reading comprehension. Also included is an overview of the goals and objectives of the Jacob's Ladder tasks and suggestions for implementation, giving every teacher the tools needed to promote successful reading comprehension.
Optional Student Workbook Packs
In addition to this teacher's guide, companion student workbooks are available for Poetry, Short Stories, and Nonfiction and Essays/Speeches. The student workbooks feature ample room for student responses and notes, make reviewing and providing feedback on student work easier than ever, provide students with an easy-to-use reference to use during discussions, and save time, as there is no need to reproduce student handouts.

The Jacob's Ladder Reading C...

The Jacob's Ladder Reading Comprehension Program is great for expanding not only reading comprehension but also critical thinking and analysis skills. The students move through ladders of activities, which in this 2nd fifth grade edition include short stories (such as Grimm's The Three Spinning Fairies), poetry (such as Kipling's If), nonfiction (such as an essay about economics), and essays/speeches (such as excerpts from Thomas Paine's Common Sense). A teacher's guide, pre and post assessment tools, and all of the necessary handouts and forms are included in this well-organized volume. I highly recommend to language arts and gifted education teachers.

This is literally just a collection...

This is literally just a collection of short works (short stories, poetry, document extracts, informational texts) and about 6 higher order thinking questions for each story. That's it. You can get that anywhere. Not to mention that most of the selected pieces are far more developmentally appropriate for high school (or college, in some cases) than even the most advanced of fifth graders. Finally, some of the informational extracts include blatantly false information: -The invention of paper money was placed a millennia after it was actually invented -The piece discussing weight v. mass claims that the EARTH'S gravitational pull determines our weight on the moon (and explicitly states that the moon's gravitational pull has almost no effe...
