Parts of the Whole
![Page 3: ECEL 517 Math and Science in our Lives](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55a1f8af1a28ab826d8b46ad/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
These images were taken with the idea in mind to help illustrate the
concept of fractions to 3rd graders.

The Common Core State Standard for Mathematics covered by these photos
would be Grade 3: Number and Operations- Fractions: 1. Understand a
fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b
equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.

Parts of the WholeQuestions such as the ones below could be used to
help understand the concept.
This pizza is divided into 8 (pretend they are equal) slices.
What fraction of the pizza has been eaten? What fraction of the pizza remains?
![Page 6: ECEL 517 Math and Science in our Lives](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55a1f8af1a28ab826d8b46ad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
For higher level thinking I would ask them to diagram how ½ of the pizza is the same as 4/8 of the pizza.

How long did that take?
![Page 8: ECEL 517 Math and Science in our Lives](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55a1f8af1a28ab826d8b46ad/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
These images were taken to aid in understanding of time units:
60 seconds in a minute60 minutes in an hour
24 hours in a day

The Common Core State Standard for Mathematics for these photos would be
Grade 3: Measurement & Data1. Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing
the problem on a number line diagram.

A problem such as the following one could be posed…If you started playing video
games at 6:00 and finished at 9:00, how many minutes did you play for?
![Page 11: ECEL 517 Math and Science in our Lives](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55a1f8af1a28ab826d8b46ad/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
For higher level thinking I would ask the students to compose their own time word problems for their
classmates to solve.

Me and My Shadow
![Page 13: ECEL 517 Math and Science in our Lives](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55a1f8af1a28ab826d8b46ad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
This photo was taken to use as a starting point to think about
shadows and the sun’s movement.

NJCCCS
The Science Common Core Standards covered by this photo would be:
5.2.2.C.3 Present evidence that represents the relationship between a light source, solid object, and the resulting shadow.
And
5.4.4.A.1 Formulate a general description of the daily motion of the Sun across the sky based on shadow observations. Explain how shadows could be used to tell the time of day.
![Page 15: ECEL 517 Math and Science in our Lives](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55a1f8af1a28ab826d8b46ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
From this photo you can discuss and set up an experiment where you measure the shadow cast by a solid object at precise intervals throughout the day. By measuring the length and position of
the shadow, you can better understand the movement of the sun across the sky and be able
to predict what time it is by its shadow.

For higher level thinking I would ask the students to speculate about whether the
shadows would look the same in the spring and in the fall and if not why would that be?

Energy
![Page 18: ECEL 517 Math and Science in our Lives](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55a1f8af1a28ab826d8b46ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Shot the video and the photos to illustrate some of the different
forms energy and the transfer of energy.
![Page 19: ECEL 517 Math and Science in our Lives](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55a1f8af1a28ab826d8b46ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
NJCCCSThe Common Core Standards for Science
applicable here would be: 5.2.4.C.1 Compare various forms of energy as observed in everyday life and describe their
applications.5.2.4.C.3 Energy can be transferred from one
place to another.
![Page 20: ECEL 517 Math and Science in our Lives](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55a1f8af1a28ab826d8b46ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The video can be used to show how electrical
energy can be turned into sound energy via the ipod, light energy via the light bulb and heat or thermal energy via the toaster oven. This can
lead into a basic conversation about the first law of thermodynamics: Energy can be neither
created nor destroyed. It can only change forms.

For higher level thinking I would ask the
students to go around the classroom and find other examples of energy transfer and make diagrams showing what forms of energy they
are going from and to.
