Math and Social Studies
By Gloria

Clip to ScrapBook   
Some thoughts . . I've used these with upper elementary:
Graphs (considered math concepts) - create graphs on social studies topics, such as immigration (how many people came from various countries, etc.).
Timelines
(considered math concepts) - can be created and/or studies for Social Studies topics.
The United States and percentages, ratios or fractional parts (depending on what you're studying in math):
- How many states border the eastern coast? What percentage, ratio or fractional part is that of total U.S. states?
- How many states begin with the letter A? What percentage,
ratio or fractional part is that of total U.S. states?
World Cultures and fractions:
- Examine flags of foreign countries. Determine fractional parts of each color. For example: The flag of France is 1/3 red, 1/3 white and 1/3 blue.
- Create a new country. Design a flag for your country that is 1/8 yellow, 3/8 blue and 1/2 red. (Give children experience using rulers and/or graph paper for this project.)
