Task Type Task Name Content Addressed Standard(s) Description Grouping Strategy In this task, students will work with familiar schedules Scaffolding Tasks Time to the Minute, Elapsed MGSE3.MD.1 and lengths of time to find elapsed time. Individually, Pairs, or Time Small Group Task Constructing Task In this task, students will examine a family’s morning Problem Solving with MGSE3.MD.1 bathroom routine. They will discuss and explore telling Partner/Small Group Elapsed Time time to the minute as well as elapsed time. Task Constructing Task In this task, students will record and draw time to the Elapsed Time MGSE3.MD.1 nearest minute and calculate elapsed time in 15, 30, and Whole Group/Individual 60 minute intervals. Task In this task, students will view a picture and tell what 3-Act Task they noticed. Next, they will be asked to discuss what Elapsed Time MGSE3.MD.1 they wonder about or are curious about. Students will Whole Group then use mathematics to answer their own questions In this task, students track how they use their time Collect, Record, and Constructing Task MGSE3.MD.1 during the week. Using these results, students create a Display Data MGSE3.MD.3 bar graph and then write a letter a paragraph explaining (tables, line plots, bar graphs) Individual/Partner Task Elapsed Time the amount of time spent watching television. In this task, students will explore weight using simple Use a balance scale; Estimate Constructing Task household items and a balance scale. Students are and measure using a MGSE3.MD.2 introduced to the need for standardized units while Small Group Task unit exploring weight using paper clips.
