Turquoise Bunk • Grades 2–3 • Lesson 4
COMMUNITY MATH 20 MIN
Community Math Campers play engaging whole-group games that support the featured math skill.
Download and gather Community Math Resources and materials for the activity. Follow instructions for activity prep on the Activity Sheet. Distribute materials to campers as needed. Before beginning the activity, take a few minutes to review the Math Skill with campers. Invite questions and confirm understanding. Read aloud instructions for how to play the game and check for understanding. Then play and have fun!
CLOSING CAMPFIRE 10 MIN
Closing Campfire Lessons conclude with the Closing Campfire, where campers regroup to review and reflect.
Word Challenge Divide the group into two teams, Team A and Team B. Explain that you will give each team a word or a definition. If you give them a word, they must say the definition. If you give them a definition, they must say the word. You will set the timer for 30 seconds. If a team answers correctly, they get one point. If they answer incorrectly, the other team can answer to earn a point for a correct answer. Start with Team A and alternate until the Lightning Round. Team A: The word is partition. (The definition is, “to break a shape into equal parts.”) Team B: The definition is “to split a shape or quantity into equal parts or groups.” (The word is divide .) Team A: The definition is “the name of each part when a shape is divided into two equal parts.” (The word is half .) Team B: The word is third. (The definition is, “the name of each part when a shape is divided into three equal parts.”) Lightning Round: The definition is “the name of each part when a shape is divided into four equal parts.” (The word is fourth .) Reflection Questions Have campers turn knee-to-knee and share their answers with a partner. What made you feel a sense of belonging today at MathCamp? What made you feel like a Math Hero? Helping and learning together builds a sense of belonging among everyone in the group. Let’s add that to our strengths board! Offer concrete praise and affirmation for new skills or strategies campers tried today, or for ways they have demonstrated the strengths. MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS Have campers make a journal entry using words and pictures to share what they learned about partitioning rectangles and squares into equal parts. Give each camper a thumbs-up as they complete their entries and demonstrate what they learned.
