This google slide show will be used by first grade teachers with their students as a numeracy routine. Students should be given time to notice and wonder about each slide. Students then engage in discourse to tell how the two pictures, numbers, expressions, or equations are the same and how they are different.

The images on this google slide show are best used in the context of a number talk where children are gathered in a common space and know the routine of sharing thoughts and ideas. Teachers use talk moves to keep the dialogue going among and between student, focusing on mathematical ideas and vocabulary found within the images. The teacher’s role is to facilitate the conversation, allowing a forum for the sharing of important ideas.

Students' eyes are opened to the value of creative, expressive and succinct visual presentation of data, findings and concepts. Student pairs design, redesign and perform simple experiments to test the differences in thermal conductivity (heat flow) through different media (foil and thin steel). Then students create visual diagrams of their findings that can be understood by anyone with little background on the subject, applying their newly learned art vocabulary and concepts to clearly communicate their results. The principles of visual design include contrast, alignment, repetition and proximity; the elements of visual design include an awareness of the use of lines, color, texture, shape, size, value and space. If students already have data available from other experiments, have them jump right into the diagram creation and critique portions of the activity.

This google slide show is for use as a numeracy routine in the kindergarten classroom during third quarter. Students will answer a question using a graph format by dragging their names to the appropriate spot. Students will then be given a chance to notice and wonder about the graph. Finally, teachers will lead a mathematical discussion about the results of the graph.
Students learn the value of writing and art in science and engineering. They acquire vocabulary that is appropriate for explaining visual art and learn about visual design principles (contrast, alignment, repetition and proximity) and elements (lines, color, texture, shape, size, value and space) that are helpful when making visual aids. A PowerPoint(TM) presentation heightens students' awareness of the connection between art and engineering in order to improve the presentation of results, findings, concepts, information and prototype designs. Students also learn about the science and engineering research funding process that relies on effective proposal presentations, as well as some thermal conductivity / heat flow basics including the real-world example of a heat sink which prepares them for the associated activity in which they focus on creating diagrams to communicate their own collected experimental data.
