[cheerful upbeat music] ♪ HOLA, NI HAO, GUTEN TAG, AND GOOD MORNING, MY SUPER LEARNERS.

YOU KNOW, ONE GOOD THING ABOUT BEING AT HOME IS THAT I GET TO BE RIGHT HERE WITH YOU LEARNING ABOUT SOME AMAZING TOPICS.

ARE YOU READY?

[clapping] I LIKE THAT.

LET'S SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT TO LEARN IN THE CLASSROOM TODAY.

LET'S CONNECT.

♪ HI, MATHEMATICIANS.

IT'S ME, MS. ALTMAN, AND IT'S AMAZING TO SEE YOU.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED, LET'S TAKE A MOMENT TO GRAB SOME SUPPLIES THAT WE WILL NEED FOR OUR TIME TOGETHER TODAY.

YOU WILL NEED PAPER AND A PENCIL.

I'M GOING TO GO AND GET MINE.

WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND DO THE SAME?

SEE YOU IN A LITTLE BIT.

♪ TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO LEARN ABOUT PERIMETER.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT "PERIMETER" MEANS?

YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHAT I MEAN BY THE WORD "PERIMETER."

LET'S MAKE A FRAYER MODEL TO HELP US DEFINE THIS WORD.

LET'S TAKE A PIECE OF PAPER AND FOLD IT IN HALF VERTICALLY AND THEN FOLD IT IN HALF AGAIN TO MAKE 4 EQUALLY-SIZED RECTANGLES.

THEN, IN A CORNER OF OUR PAPER, WHERE ALL SIDES ARE FOLDED, WE'LL FOLD DOWN A SMALL TRIANGLE.

WHEN YOU UNFOLD YOUR PAPER, THE FOLD SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS.

DOES YOUR PAPER LOOK LIKE MINE?

OKAY, GREAT.

IF NOT, NO WORRIES.

PLEASE WATCH ME FOLD A SHEET OF PAPER AGAIN.

FOLD IT IN HALF ONCE, NOW TWICE.

AND IN THE CORNER, FOLD A SMALL TRIANGLE.

WE'RE GOING TO WRITE THE WORD "PERIMETER" INTO THE CENTER, BECAUSE THIS IS THE WORD WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT.

THEN, IN THE UPPER-LEFT RECTANGLE, WE'RE GOING TO DEFINE THIS TERM.

SO, LET'S WRITE THE WORD "DEFINITION" HERE.

I'LL WAIT A FEW SECONDS SO YOU CAN WRITE "PERIMETER" AND "DEFINITION" ON YOUR PAPER.

IN THE UPPER-RIGHT RECTANGLE, WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE OF THE WORD "PERIMETER."

SO, LET'S WRITE THE WORD "EXAMPLE" HERE.

I'LL WAIT SO YOU CAN WRITE THE WORD "EXAMPLE."

THEN, IN THE LOWER-LEFT RECTANGLE, WE'LL PROVIDE A NON-EXAMPLE OF WHAT "PERIMETER" IS NOT.

SO, PLEASE WRITE THE WORD "NON-EXAMPLE" HERE.

AGAIN, I'LL WAIT FOR YOU, SO THERE'S NO NEED TO RUSH.

AND, FINALLY, IN THE LOWER-RIGHT RECTANGLE, WE'LL DRAW A PICTURE TO HELP US VISUALIZE THE WORD "PERIMETER."

SO, LET'S WRITE THE WORD "PICTURE" HERE TO REMIND US WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.

GREAT.

I'LL WAIT A FEW SECONDS SO THAT YOUR PAPER LOOKS LIKE MY EXAMPLE ON THE SCREEN.

NOW, LET'S DEFINE THE WORD "PERIMETER" TOGETHER.

PLEASE WRITE THE DEFINITION IN OUR UPPER-LEFT RECTANGLE.

"PERIMETER" IS THE MEASURE OF DISTANCE AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF A 2-D SHAPE.

IF YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR YARD, OR ANY PLOT OF GRASS, ITS PERIMETER CAN BE THOUGHT OF AS THE DISTANCE AROUND THE OUTER EDGES OF THE YARD OR THE PLOT OF GRASS.

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME TIME TO WRITE THIS DEFINITION ON YOUR FRAYER MODEL.

I'LL WAIT AS YOU COPY THE DEFINITION ON THE SCREEN.

"PERIMETER" IS THE DISTANCE AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF A 2-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE.

AS WE LEARN ABOUT PERIMETER TODAY, I WANT YOU TO USE YOUR FRAYER MODEL TO ADD EXAMPLES, NON-EXAMPLES, AND DRAW A PICTURE TO SHARE YOUR GROWING UNDERSTANDING OF PERIMETER.

LET'S REVIEW A FEW THINGS BEFORE WE GET STARTED.

"AREA" IS THE MEASURE OF SPACE INSIDE OF AN OBJECT.

WE CAN FIND THE AREA OF A RECTANGLE BY MULTIPLYING THE DIMENSIONS, OR THE SIDE LENGTHS, OF A RECTANGLE.

"PERIMETER" IS THE DISTANCE AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF AN OBJECT.

WHAT'S THAT, MATHEMATICIANS?

YOU HAVE A QUESTION?

THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.

DO YOU MIND IF I SHARE WITH OUR OTHER MATHEMATICIAN FRIENDS?

GREAT.

ONE OF OUR FRIENDS WANTED TO KNOW WHY I'M REVIEWING AREA IF WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT PERIMETER.

WELL, I REVIEWED AREA, BECAUSE, SOMETIMES, MATHEMATICIANS IN THIRD GRADE CONFUSE "AREA" AND "PERIMETER."

SO, I WANTED TO QUICKLY REVIEW AREA AS WE LEARN ABOUT PERIMETER TODAY.

HERE'S AN ANCHOR CHART TO HELP US REMEMBER THE VOCABULARY FOR TODAY'S LESSON.

IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN COPY THIS AND PUT IT ON THE BACK OF YOUR FRAYER MODEL PAPER.

"AREA" IS THE AMOUNT OF SPACE IN A 2-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE, AND "PERIMETER" IS THE DISTANCE AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF A 2-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE.

THAT'S WHY "AREA" IS WRITTEN INSIDE THE RECTANGLE AND "PERIMETER" IS WRITTEN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RECTANGLE.

I ALSO LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS A LITTLE DANCE.

AREA INSIDE AND PERIMETER OUTSIDE.

SINCE SOME OF OUR FRIENDS CONFUSE "AREA" AND "PERIMETER," ON OUR FRAYER MODEL, FOR NON-EXAMPLE, LET'S WRITE "AREA" TO REMIND OURSELVES THAT "AREA" AND "PERIMETER" ARE 2 DIFFERENT MEASUREMENTS.

I'LL WAIT SO YOU CAN WRITE "AREA" AND "MULTIPLYING DIMENSIONS" FOR THE NON-EXAMPLES.

NOW THAT WE KNOW PERIMETER IS NOT AREA, AND WE DON'T MULTIPLY THE DIMENSIONS, HOW DO WE FIND THE PERIMETER OF A 2-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE?

WE FIND THE PERIMETER OF A 2-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE BY MEASURING THE DISTANCE AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THAT SHAPE, OR, TO BE MORE SPECIFIC, WE ADD ALL OF THE SIDE LENGTHS TOGETHER.

LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT A 5x4 RECTANGLE AGAIN.

♪ WHAT DO YOU NOTICE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU NOTICE THAT IT HAS 2 SIDES THAT ARE LABELED AND 2 THAT ARE NOT.

SO, WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE NON-LABELED SIDES?

YOU'RE NOT SURE?

THAT'S TOTALLY FINE.

LET ME HELP YOU.

ON A RECTANGLE, THE OPPOSITE SIDES ARE EQUAL IN LENGTH.

SO, LOOK AT MY VISUAL TO SHOW HOW WE LABEL THE OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE RECTANGLE.

NOW THAT WE HAVE LABELED THE SIDES, ALL WE NEED TO DO IS ADD ALL OF THE SIDE LENGTHS TOGETHER.

SO WHAT IS... THAT'S RIGHT.

4 + 4 + 5 + 5 EQUALS 18.

THE PERIMETER IS 18.

ON OUR FRAYER MODEL, FOR EXAMPLE, LET'S DRAW THE 5x4 RECTANGLE WITH ALL SIDES LABELED.

LET'S ALSO WRITE "ALL SIDES ADDED TOGETHER."

I'LL WAIT A MOMENT SO YOU CAN WRITE ON YOUR FRAYER MODEL.

LET'S QUICKLY REVIEW.

HOW DO WE FIND THE PERIMETER OF A RECTANGLE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

ADD ALL OF THE SIDE LENGTHS TOGETHER.

LET'S TRY ANOTHER ONE.

WE HAVE A SQUARE WITH AN AREA OF 9 SQUARE UNITS.

REMEMBER, A SQUARE IS A SPECIAL TYPE OF RECTANGLE WHERE ALL OF THE SIDES ARE EQUAL.

SO, WHAT IS THE PERIMETER?

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT WE NEED TO DO?

AWESOME!

FIRST, WE LABEL THE SIDES, AND THEN, WE ADD ALL OF THEM TOGETHER.

WHAT IS... THAT'S RIGHT, 12.

SO THE PERIMETER OF A 3x3 RECTANGLE IS 12.

YOU'RE DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB ON THIS.

LET'S TRY ONE MORE EXAMPLE.

THIS TIME, I WILL JUST GIVE YOU THE DIMENSIONS, AND YOU TELL ME THE PERIMETER.

READY?

GREAT.

I'LL GIVE YOU A FEW MOMENTS TO WORK THIS OUT.

YOU ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB.

LET'S CHECK OUR WORK BY LABELING THE SIDES AND ADDING THEM TOGETHER.

BECAUSE YOU'RE DOING SUCH A FABULOUS JOB ON PERIMETER, I THINK YOU ARE READY FOR A CHALLENGE.

HERE'S OUR CHALLENGE.

WHAT IF WE WERE GIVEN THE PERIMETER OF A RECTANGLE BUT NOT THE DIMENSIONS?

HOW WILL WE FIGURE OUT THE DIMENSIONS?

TURN AND TALK TO A TRUSTED ADULT OR A FRIEND TO SHARE YOUR THINKING.

KEEP THAT THINKING IN MIND TO SOLVE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM: SO, WHAT DO WE KNOW, MATHEMATICIANS?

THAT'S RIGHT, THE SUM MUST BE 24.

WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW?

THAT'S RIGHT.

AT LEAST 2 OF THE SIDE LENGTHS WILL BE THE SAME.

I'LL GIVE YOU A FEW MORE MOMENTS TO WORK ON YOUR ANSWER.

ARE YOU READY TO SHARE YOUR THINKING?

AWESOME!

I'M GOING TO POST A FEW EXAMPLES.

WE COULD BUILD A FENCE WITH SIDE LENGTHS OF 11 AND 1.

LET'S SHARE A FEW MORE.

WHAT DID YOU NOTICE ABOUT THAT LAST EXAMPLE?

THAT'S RIGHT, IT MADE A SQUARE, BECAUSE ALL 4 SIDES ARE EQUAL.

PLEASE REMEMBER, WE ONLY SHARED A FEW EXAMPLES, BUT THERE ARE LOTS MORE, LIKE 5 AND 7 OR 4 AND 8.

AFTER TODAY'S LESSON, I CHALLENGE YOU TO FIND MORE EXAMPLES AND TO SHARE YOUR THINKING WITH A FRIEND OR TRUSTED ADULT.

SO, LET'S REVIEW, MATHEMATICIANS.

"PERIMETER" IS THE DISTANCE AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF A 2-D SHAPE.

WE CAN FIND THE PERIMETER OF A RECTANGLE BY ADDING THE SIDE LENGTHS.

IF WE ARE GIVEN THE PERIMETER, WE CAN DETERMINE THE UNKNOWN SIDE LENGTH.

THANKS FOR JOINING ME TODAY.

I HOPE YOU HAD FUN LEARNING ABOUT PERIMETER.

JOIN ME NEXT TIME TO LEARN MORE MATH STRATEGIES.

BYE, MATHEMATICIANS.

WOW, WHAT A DAY SO FAR.

SO MUCH GREAT LEARNING GOING ON.

NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO WATCH A VIDEO ABOUT ANIMALS THAT I KNOW YOU'LL LOVE.

HI, MY NAME IS ASHLEY, AND I'M THE EDUCATOR HERE AT SYLVAN HEIGHTS BIRD PARK, AND TODAY, I'M HERE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO OUR MACAWS.

MACAWS ARE A GROUP OF PARROTS THAT ARE NATIVE TO MEXICO, CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA.

THERE ARE 17 SPECIES OF MACAWS THAT COME IN A VARIETY OF BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL COLORS.

WITH THEIR LARGE SIZE, LONG TAILS... [macaw squawks] AND BEAUTIFUL COLORS, MACAWS ARE ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE GROUPS OF PARROTS.

MACAWS TYPICALLY LIVE IN FOREST CANOPY HABITATS, MANY LIVING IN DENSE TROPICAL RAINFORESTS LIKE THE AMAZON.

MACAWS TYPICALLY LIKE TO LIVE IN PAIRS, FAMILY GROUPS, OR LARGER FLOCKS IN THE WILD.

THEY ARE A HIGHLY-SOCIAL BIRD.

MACAWS TYPICALLY MATE FOR LIFE AND WILL LAY 2 TO 4 EGGS IN THE HOLLOW OF A TREE CALLED A TREE "CAVITY."

IN THE WILD, MACAWS CAN LIVE UP TO 50 YEARS, BUT IN CAPTIVITY, THEY CAN LIVE OVER 75 YEARS WITH THE PROPER CARE AND NUTRITION.

MACAWS HAVE A LARGE, STRONG, CURVED BEAK DESIGNED FOR EATING A VARIETY OF FOODS, INCLUDING SEEDS, FRUIT, NUTS, FLOWERS, LEAVES AND INVERTEBRATES.

IN THE WILD, MACAWS HAVE EVEN BEEN OBSERVED EATING CLAY FROM RIVERBANKS AND CLIFFSIDES.

IT'S THOUGHT TO KIND OF SUPPLEMENT THEIR DIET WITH ADDITIONAL NUTRIENTS AND POSSIBLY EVEN NEUTRALIZE TOXINS THAT THEY WOULD FIND IN SOME OF THEIR FOODS THEY'D EAT IN THE WILD.

MACAWS CAN EVEN USE THEIR BEAK AS AN EXTRA FOOT TO HELP THEM WHEN THEY'RE CLIMBING.

MACAWS HAVE STRONG, AGILE TOES, WITH 2 TOES FACING FORWARD AND 2 TOES FACING BACKWARDS.

THIS FOOT CONFIGURATION IS CALLED "ZYGODACTYL" AND IS FOUND IN MANY OTHER SPECIES OF BIRDS, INCLUDING WOODPECKERS.

MACAWS USE THEIR FEET FOR PERCHING, CLIMBING, AND LIKE A HAND FOR GRASPING OBJECTS SUCH AS FOOD.

ALL OF THE 17 MACAW SPECIES ARE CONSIDERED THREATENED OR ENDANGERED.

LOGGING, DEVELOPMENT AND FARMING HAVE REDUCED MACAW HABITAT IN THE WILD.

ALTHOUGH THEY'RE PROTECTED IN MANY AREAS IN THEIR NATURAL HABITAT, MACAW CHICKS ARE STILL COLLECTED FOR SALE IN THE ILLEGAL PET TRADE MARKET.

MACAWS ARE ALSO BRED IN CAPTIVITY AND SOMETIMES KEPT AS PETS.

DUE TO THEIR LARGE SIZE AND CARE REQUIREMENTS, THEY CAN MAKE VERY CHALLENGING PETS AND THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT FOR EVERYONE.

[macaw screams] SCREAMING IS A NATURAL BEHAVIOR FOR MACAWS.

THEY DO IT TO KEEP IN CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER, TO DEFINE THEIR TERRITORIES, AND AS A FORM OF PLAY.

WHEN THEY'RE LIVING IN DENSE RAINFOREST HABITATS, THEY MAY NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO SEE EACH OTHER, SO SCREAMING ALLOWS THEM TO HEAR EACH OTHER, NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE.

MACAWS CAN EVEN LEARN TO IMITATE SOUNDS THAT THEY HEAR, INCLUDING HUMAN SPEECH.

SOMETIMES, YOU'LL HEAR THEM PRACTICING IT OVER AND OVER, UNTIL THEY GET IT JUST RIGHT.

HELLO.

HELLO.

HELLO?

THANKS FOR JOINING US AGAIN TODAY HERE AT SYLVAN HEIGHTS BIRD PARK.

WE HOPE THAT YOU'LL COME OUT AND SEE AND HEAR THE MACAWS FOR YOURSELF.

WHAT A COOL STORY.

WHO KNEW ABOUT ALL THAT INCREDIBLE SCIENCE?

OH, YOU DID?

WELL, OF COURSE YOU DID, BECAUSE YOU ARE SMART.

BUT DID YOU KNOW THIS?

WHAT IS THE FASTEST ANIMAL ON THE PLANET?

YEP, IT CAN BE ON LAND, THE WATER, OR IN THE AIR.

IF YOU SAID CHEETAH, YOU'RE ALMOST RIGHT.

CHEETAHS ARE THE FASTEST LAND ANIMAL.

THE FASTEST ANIMAL ON THE WHOLE PLANET IS THE PEREGRINE FALCON, CAPABLE OF FLYING OVER 200 MILES PER HOUR.

WATCH OUT.

♪ HELLO, SUPER LEARNERS.

WE HAVE FINISHED ALL OUR MATH WARM-UPS, SO, NOW, IT'S TIME FOR OUR... ♪ MATH MISSION OF THE DAY ♪ COME ON, LET'S CHECK IN WITH SPARKLES THE FISH TO SEE WHAT OUR MISSION IS TODAY.

HERE IT IS.

THANK YOU, SPARKLES.

LET'S READ.

[gasps] "DEAR SUPER LEARNERS, YOUR MISSION TODAY IS... TO COMPARE 2 GROUPS OF OBJECTS TO SEE WHICH GROUP HAS MORE OR LESS.

THERE ARE 4 GROUP COMPARISONS TO SOLVE TODAY."

ALL RIGHT, SUPER LEARNERS.

I KNOW WE CAN DO THIS MISSION.

♪ DUN DA DA DA ♪ CAPES ON.

MATH POWER UP!

LET'S GO.

HERE IS OUR FIRST CHALLENGE, SUPER LEARNERS.

THERE ARE 2 DIFFERENT GROUPS OF MARSHMALLOWS UP ON THE SCREEN.

HMM.

I WONDER WHICH GROUP HAS MORE, GROUP "A" OR GROUP "B"?

WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK HAS MORE?

WELL, LET'S FIND OUT.

LET'S COUNT GROUP "A" FIRST.

THERE ARE 5 MARSHMALLOWS IN THIS GROUP.

NOW, LET'S COUNT GROUP "B."

THERE ARE 7 MARSHMALLOWS IN GROUP "B."

SO, WHICH GROUP HAS MORE?

YES!

GROUP "B" HAS MORE THAN GROUP "A."

7 IS MORE THAN 5.

LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.

LOOKING BACK AT THE SCREEN, IF YOU LINE THE MARSHMALLOWS UP IN GROUP "A," LIKE THIS, NOW LET'S LINE UP THE GROUP OF MARSHMALLOWS FROM GROUP "B," LIKE THIS.

[gasps] GROUP B's LINE IS LONGER.

HMM.

LET'S CHECK OUR WORK ANOTHER WAY.

THIS IS A FIVE-FRAME.

IT IS A MATH TOOL THAT HELPS US MAKE SETS OF 5.

WHEN A FIVE-FRAME IS FULL, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE A SET OF 5.

LET'S USE A FIVE-FRAME TO COMPARE THE SETS.

MATH POWER UP!

GROUP "A" FIRST.

WOW!

GROUP "A" FILLS A WHOLE FIVE-FRAME.

NOW, GROUP "B".

GROUP "B" FILLED A FIVE-FRAME AND HAD 2 LEFT OVER.

GROUP "B" DEFINITELY HAS MORE MARSHMALLOWS THAN GROUP "A."

SO, 7 IS MORE THAN 5, YES!

WE COULD ALSO SAY 5 IS LESS THAN 7.

AMAZING JOB, SUPER LEARNERS.

LET'S MOVE TO THE NEXT 2 GROUPS.

OH, LOOK!

2 DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PENNIES.

WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK HAS MORE?

LOOK AT IT.

GROUP "A" OR GROUP "B"?

YES, GROUP "B."

HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?

OH, YOU LOOKED AT THE GROUPS OF THE OBJECTS AND SAW, WITHOUT COUNTING, WHICH ONE HAD MORE.

WHOA!

YOU JUST USED A REALLY SUPER MATH POWER, CALLED "SUBITIZING."

"SUBITIZING" MEANS KNOWING HOW MANY WITHOUT COUNTING.

THAT IS GREAT WORK, SUPER LEARNERS.

NOW, LET'S COUNT THE 2 GROUPS TO CHECK OUR SUBITIZING SKILLS.

WE'LL USE THE FIVE-FRAME AGAIN TO HELP US.

OKAY, GROUP "A" FIRST.

THIS GROUP HAS 3.

IT DOES NOT FILL THE FIVE-FRAME.

NOW, GROUP "B."

GROUP "B" FILLS THE FIVE-FRAME.

THERE ARE 5 PENNIES IN THIS GROUP.

SO, WHICH GROUP HAS MORE?

YES, GROUP "B" HAS MORE PENNIES THAN GROUP "A."

5 IS MORE THAN 3, OR WE COULD SAY, 3 IS LESS THAN 5.

GREAT JOB, SUPER LEARNERS.

2 CHALLENGES COMPLETE.

I'M READY FOR A MATH MOVEMENT BREAK, ARE YOU?

YOU ARE?

THEN, LET'S MOVE.

WE'RE GOING TO ACT OUT A MATH STORY.

THE STORY WILL TELL YOU HOW AND WHEN TO MOVE.

LET ME GET MY LITTLE FRIEND HERE.

ONCE THERE WAS A BEAR WHO WANTED TO GO TO THE FIELD TO EAT BERRIES.

THE BEAR TOOK 3 HOPS TOWARDS THE BERRIES.

READY?

LET'S HOP 3 TIMES.

THEN THE BEAR TOOK 5 GIANT STEPS TOWARDS THE BERRIES.

LET'S TAKE 5 GIANT STEPS.

NEXT, THE BEAR TOOK 8 JUMPS TOWARDS THE BERRIES.

WE KNOW WHAT TO DO.

LET'S JUMP 8 TIMES.

[gasps] FINALLY, THE BEAR REACHED THE BERRIES.

THE BEAR WAS SO HUNGRY THAT THE BEAR ATE 10 BERRIES.

LET'S EAT THE BERRIES.

AFTER ALL THAT EATING, THE BEAR TOOK 1 BIG STRETCH, LIKE THIS... UGGH!

AND THEN THE BEAR WAS FULL AND HAPPY AND TOOK A NAP.

[sighs] [yawning] THAT WAS GREAT.

WOW, SUPER LEARNERS.

I FEEL READY FOR OUR NEXT MATH COMPARISON CHALLENGE.

I HOPE YOU ARE, TOO.

MATH POWER UP.

LOOK UP AT THE SCREEN.

HERE ARE 2 MORE GROUPS.

POMPOMS THIS TIME.

JUST BY LOOKING AT THEM, CAN YOU TELL THAT THESE GROUPS ARE BIGGER?

YOU CAN, YES.

THE GROUPS OF POMPOMS ARE MUCH LARGER THAN THE GROUPS OF PENNIES AND MARSHMALLOWS.

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER MATH TOOL.

WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT A FIVE-FRAME LOOKS LIKE.

NOW, HERE IS A... TEN-FRAME!

A TEN-FRAME HAS 10 BOXES INSTEAD OF 5.

IF THE TEN-FRAME IS FULL, THEN WE KNOW WE HAVE AT LEAST A SET OF 10.

LET'S COUNT GROUP "A."

GROUP "A" FILLS THE TEN-FRAME AND HAS 4 MORE POMPOMS, FOR A TOTAL OF 14.

NOW, LET'S COUNT GROUP "B."

GROUP "B" HAS EXACTLY 10.

SO, WHICH GROUP HAS MORE?

YES!

GROUP "A" HAS MORE.

14 IS MORE THAN 10, OR WE COULD SAY 10 IS LESS THAN 14.

OKAY, SUPER LEARNERS, HERE IS OUR FINAL CHALLENGE.

HERE ARE 2 GROUPS OF COLOR TILES.

AGAIN, THE GROUPS LOOK LARGER, SO LET'S USE A TEN-FRAME TO HELP US AGAIN.

GROUP "A" FIRST.

WOW!

17.

ONE FULL TEN-FRAME PLUS 7 MORE IS 17.

IT ALMOST FILLED 2 TEN-FRAMES.

NOW, GROUP "B."

11!

1 FULL TEN-FRAME PLUS 1 MORE IS 11.

SO, WHICH GROUP HAS THE MOST POMPOMS, SUPER LEARNERS?

YES!

GROUP "A"!

17 IS MORE THAN 11.

OR WE COULD SAY, 11 IS LESS THAN 17.

GREAT JOB, SUPER LEARNERS.

WE HAVE COMPLETED ALL 4 COMPARISONS.

WE USED THE MATH TOOLS CALLED A FIVE-FRAME AND A TEN-FRAME TO HELP US COUNT AND COMPARE THE GROUPS OF OBJECTS.

LET'S CHECK BACK WITH SPARKLES THE FISH.

"MISSION COMPLETE."

HOORAY!

CONGRATULATIONS, SUPER LEARNERS.

YOU USED YOUR MATH POWERS AND COMPLETED THE MISSION.

NOW, WHAT IS IT TIME TO DO?

LET'S REVIEW.

TODAY, WE COMPARED GROUPS OF OBJECTS TO SEE WHICH GROUP HAD MORE AND WHICH GROUP HAD LESS.

WE USED THE MATH TOOLS OF A FIVE-FRAME AND A TEN-FRAME TO HELP US COUNT THE OBJECTS.

WE ALSO USED THE SPECIAL MATH POWER OF SUBITIZING, OR KNOWING THE NUMBER OF OBJECTS WITHOUT COUNTING FOR SMALLER GROUPS.

PRACTICE COMPARING GROUPS TODAY, SUPER LEARNERS.

COUNT DIFFERENT THINGS AROUND YOU AND SEE WHICH THINGS HAVE MORE AND LESS.

YOU CAN SHARE YOUR MATH POWER BY SHOWING IT TO SOMEONE.

THANK YOU, SUPER LEARNERS, FOR GOING ON A MATH MISSION WITH ME TODAY.

SPARKLES THANKS YOU, TOO.

REMEMBER, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO BE SUPER AT MATH.

BYE.

ADIÓS.

MATH POWER OUT!

HI.

I'M 8 YEARS OLD.

AND TODAY'S JOKE WILL BE... WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE PLAYGROUND?

BECAUSE HE WANTED TO GET TO THE OTHER SLIDE.

WOW!

TIME SURE DOES FLY WHEN YOU'RE LEARNING AND HAVING FUN.

I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US TODAY ON PBS NORTH CAROLINA.

YOU ARE SO SMART, SO SPECIAL, AND SO FUN TO BE WITH.

WISHING YOU PEACE, LOVE, AND LEARNING, MY FRIENDS.
