Materials: 
  • graph paper
  • 2 dice
  • pencils

Procedure: 
  • Divide the children into pairs.
  • Each child should have a sheet of graph paper and a pencil.
  • Children will wake turns rolling the dice.
  • Children will then record the numbers that were rolled by graphing them in area form on the graph paper (see photo).
  • Children should write the equation in the square as well (ex: 2x2=4).
  • After five minutes of playing the game, children will work independently to turn those squares into a sketch of the layout of their dream house!
  • After the children have created their dream homes, they will meet with their partners and compare homes, checking for correct “room sizes” (products) as a result of their rolled numbers.

Assessment: 
•    Record the accuracy of the multiplication fact use during the game.

Extension:
Have the children use those pages as a rough draft to create a colorized, final product where the children can decorate and add details to their dream homes.

Mathematics

Look Out Below
“Mathematics is the door and key to the sciences.” –Roger Bacon

Mathematics, or math, is the study of numbers. This may include patterns, equations, systems, and shapes. The study of math links many different subjects together and can be seen in the natural world as well as in the manmade world. This makes it such an important subject to learn and be comfortable with.

When including STEM mathematics instruction in your program, it is important to link this with real-world applications. This is one of the things that sets STEM math apart from standard classroom math. Instead of the standard arithmetic lessons, a STEM math lesson will usually involve a partner or group project and be included in an engineering or design process. STEM math doesn’t always have one correct answer, but instead, students are using math skills to create, design, solve, or question something.
How to include STEM math lessons in your program:
  • Encourage the use of math to solve problems during other processes.
  • Support math skill exploration.
  • Use math games to exercise math skills of all kinds.
  • Connect the current activities in you program with real-world math concept.
