Use this beginning of the year activity to practice counting! Students solidify an understanding of one-to-one correspondence as they compete to fill three towers. Use this EL Support Lesson alone, or alongside the lesson plan Counting Collections.

This lesson focuses on reading comprehension by answering the 5W's about the story, The Three Little Pigs.

By the upper grades, students are pretty familiar with nouns, verbs, and adjectives. This rich, engaging varsity-level review incorporates the lesser-studied parts of speech: articles, prepositions, adverbs, and superlative adjectives.

Students will get a chance to use multiple methods to compare three-digit numbers. They will also get practice using greater than and less than symbols to show their answers.

Give your students a conceptual understanding of three-digit addition with this lesson focused on base-ten blocks and drawings.
