PARCC Math Review Grades 3-5

PARCC Prep Grades 3-5

Grades: 3-5


It's that time of year! Getting ready for the PARCC or any state assessment can be a challenge, especially for teachers. We may not have access to rigorous materials to help prepare our students to answer these types of questions. Exposure is key, allowing students to see the rigorous questions and allowing them to think through them really helps improve confidence and reduce testing anxiety. I have created a resource that can be used in grades 3-5. The questions are aligned to the Common Core and are rigorous, multi-step questions. You can use them as Do Nows, small group work, homework, assessments, etc...

Fun game for sorting syllables, seasons and more!

Fun activities for sorting syllables, seasons and more - through play
Hearing the sounds in words is one of pieces of the early literacy puzzle, but first, beginners have to be able to break words down into parts! Here's a fun syllable breaking and sorting game I've been using for years with my early literacy groups!

 Do your students know how to break words down into syllables? Do they know how to sort? These two skills are essential for early learning as they are part of building a strong base for concepts in language, math, science and making sense of our general world. Learning by being involved in an active, social, non-competitive and fun play activity is very effective. Kids feel confident, have a positive attitude towards learning and are more willing to try new things. 


Syllable sort:

Learning to read and write is like putting together a puzzle. Hearing the sounds in words is one of those pieces.  Hearing syllables allows students to break words into parts. It is only when the parts have been broken down that the sounds within those parts can be further managed. Here's a fun activity I've been using for years with my early literacy groups!

Materials:

Click here or on the image to take you to my premade set if you are interested in the labels, over 200 cards and more that will be discussed later. You may very well have everything you need right in your own classroom, however, or between yourself and a teaching partner! Check out this list below!

  Materials needed for syllable sort game

Preparation:

  1. Preteach your students about syllables. Explain that words have 'beats' and model how to use the cards to them first. I like to have students take turns coming up, pulling a card out of a 'hat', and saying and clapping out the 'beats' for them for a few words, then having everyone chime in.
  2. Next, I bring out the numbered bins and tell them we're going to sort the cards by syllables - beats. We take a vote as to which bin will fill up first by the time we run out of cards.
  3. We practice taking turns. When it is someone's turn, they blindly select a card, show the class, then put it in the 'done' pile, leaving their hands free for the beanbag. We have a pre-established mark on the floor where the underhanded 'soft toss' can be made from. After 3 tries, if the bean bag hasn't made it in, the student simply places it in.
  4. Once everyone knows how to play the game, it becomes a center.

Extending the sort: Seasons and more!

The kids fly through the syllable sort, even with hundreds of cards, and I found that the tidy-up was a bit of a mindless mess! I just added holiday, seasonal, people, places, things, and animals labels to my Syllable sort product.

I put the labels on small envelopes, then laminated them (sealed), and sliced off their tops so they are like little, laminated folders to go in my card box. Now, tidying up becomes a sorting activity in itself. I'm hopeful that this helps keep everyone focused right to the end of centers and prevents the mess!

 
Only the seasonal and holiday cards are shown in this image, but you get the idea!
How do you teach syllables in your classroom?
