Peas in a Pod

The students watched a video.

We talked about what they wonder, estimated how many peas are in each pod, and discussed how many peas there would be if all the peas were in one pod. This task encouraged students to use addition and subtraction in real life situations. They drew pictures and shared their thought processes with the class.

Students wrote their own story using a wordless picture book. This activity encouraged the students to make predictions, question, look for details and make inferences. Writing the story encouraged students to sound out words they did not know how to spell while developing an awareness of sentence structure and punctuation.
