1 2 From the Just Turn & Share Centers Series VOLUME 12 Temperature TM From the Just Turn & Share Centers Series Kathryn Robinson 3 4 M Enterprises WriteMath Enterprises 2303 Marseille Ct. Suite 104 Valrico, FL 33596 813 657 3896 5 6 Grades 3-5 12
III Temperature is a great center in the Just Turn & Share Series. This series gives students daily practice in 16 math areas or a math topic of your preference. After gradually working in a center-based atmosphere, students can tackle all 16 centers in half an hour. This program can be used in conjunction with any regular math series. Some students have difficulty attaining proficiency in specific math areas due to the limited practice provided by a textbook. Just Turn & Share math centers provide realworld practice with mathematical concepts. The series is designed for center-based review of concepts or as whole-group overhead instruction. These lessons are designed to provide practice for 30 weeks of the school year. The program contains three-week sets worth of practice in each concept. Each concept is covered for three weeks before a new concept is introduced to the students. During each three-week period, only the numbers change - not the concepts. The first week is designed as a review of the concept, the second provides further practice, and the third is set apart for mastery of the concept. As your students become more proficient in one particular concept, you might choose to eliminate the third week set to move to a new concept. The third week then serves as a review during the last ten weeks of the year or intensive practice prior to standardized testing. The new concept for the week is listed in the Table of Contents. At the onset of a new concept, we recommend that teachers conduct a mini-lesson before releasing students to work the centers. Each center contains conceptinformation sheets with student-directions about how to perform individual concepts. These information sheets have a third-grade readability level. I recommend that the information sheets remain at the centers as long as possible to accommodate new students entering the class throughout the year. Many weeks in the series contain reference sheets that contain data that students will need to perform certain operations. Both the information sheets and reference sheets are located at the beginning of each week.
This center contains: 1. Information sheets designed to remain at the center. 2. Nine sets of maps and charts that list mathematical information to complete the activities. Suggestion: A Fahrenheit & Celsius thermometer that registers the temperature inside and outdoors will help the students with the concepts. Each center sheet should be placed in a plastic protective cover. IV Each center is designed for grades 3 through 5 as follows: (*) Grade 3 students calculate the single asterisk activities (**) Grade 4 students calculate the double asterisk activities (***) Grade 5 students calculate the triple asterisk activities If you are using more than five centers in the classroom, I recommend using the answer sheet to help students keep track of the completed centers. Accompanying each complete set is a set of corrected answer sheets that help students self-correct their responses. Students self-correct their answer sheets three out of the four days. Self-correction prevents embarrassment and allows students time to practice each concept before an assessment. I place a sign-up sheet in the classroom to allow students to sign up for assistance in their less proficient areas. I assist those that have signed up for help during the next day s Center Time. The fourth day of each week is teacher-corrected and entered in a grade book. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail us on our website: www.writemath.com. I know that you will have as much fun employing this program as I have had designing it. Remember the program is as simple as turning each page and sharing the activities with your class. So go ahead just with your students.

Temperature: Week 7 29 is the measure of how hot or cold an object is in relation to a standard value (degrees). There are two common systems of measurement: Fahrenheit Celsius 110 220 210 200 Water boils 212 F Water boils 100 C 100 90 190 180 80 170 160 70 150 140 60 130 50 120 110 100 90 80 70 Normal Body Temperature 98.6 F Normal Body Temperature 37 C 40 30 20 60 50 40 30 20 Water freezes 32 F Water freezes 0 C 10 0-10 10 0-20 -10-20 The is found commonly in the United States. The units of measure in this system are in Fahrenheit degrees. ( F ) The is becoming more common in the United States. The units of measure in this system are in Celsius degrees. ( C) In both systems a rise in temperature means that the weather (or object) is becoming warmer. (e.g.: A rise in temperature from 5 F to 10 F means that the weather has become warmer by 5 degrees.) The temperature dropping means that the object or weather is becoming colder. (e.g.: A fall in temperature from 10 F to 5 F means that the weather has become cooler by 5 degrees).
