| Look out your window and see if you can spot a living thing. Write or tell someone a few sentences about what you predict that living thing might be thinking or saying to itself. |
| Have someone in your house think of an object. Ask them yes or no questions until you can guess what the object is. Example; Is it alive? Is it bigger than I am? Does it swim? Does it have 4 legs? Is it the cat? |
| Media, either print or digital, is used to inform (provide information), persuade (try to convince you to do, try, or purchase something), or entertain (for fun and enjoyment). As you encounter an example of media (e.g. commercial, advertisement, movie, website, magazine, TV show, etc.) today, try to decide if it was made to inform, persuade, or entertain you. |
| Create a list of other words you could use instead of “said”, “looked”, “nice”, “ate”. Try to use some of these alternative words when talking with friends and family members. |

| Choose a number: 8, 18, 20, or 36 Find that quantity of items (rocks, seeds, books, blocks, toys, etc) What different ways can you decompose (break into parts) that quantity into equal groups (eg. 10 can be decomposed into 5 and 5 or 2 and 2 and 2 and 2 and 2) ? How will you show your thinking? |
| Choose a number: 16, 20, 24 or 36 Think of a story where you share that number of something between two or three people in your family. It could be cookies, toys, or pennies or anything you want to write your math story about. Record your math story using pictures, numbers and words. |
