Description

This pack contains resources needed to undertake a differentiated “Trip to the Moon” Math project with grade 4, 5 and 6 students. Students use math skills to answer questions and complete their astronaut licenses and moon trip planners.

It serves as more than a thematic activity and requires students to use math skills to learn about the solar system. Students work individually or in groups on differentiated (3 different versions included) math planning black line masters. The tasks are as follows and are linked to their relevant math concept:

*Age - operations

*Weight - mass and operations

*Trip Length, Departure Times and Arrival Times - operations and time

*Moon Phases - time, operations, scaling

*Apollo Moon Landings - cooridnates

*Astronaut License (color and black and white options)

*Moon Trip Planner (color and black and white options)

There are links to American, English and Australian curriculum documents.

This resource includes an American English version (miles, pounds, inches) in letter paper size and UK English in A4 size (km, kg).

CCSS4.MD.A.1

Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times as long as 1 in. Express the length of a 4 ft snake as 48 in. Generate a conversion table for feet and inches listing the number pairs (1, 12), (2, 24), (3, 36),...

CCSS4.MD.A.2

Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.

CCSS5.MD.A.1

Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.

CCSS4.NBT.A.3

Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.

CCSS4.NBT.B.5

Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
