Module 3
Lesson 5
At the request of elementary teachers, a team of Bethel & Sumner educators met as a committee to create Eureka slideshow presentations. These presentations are not meant as a script, nor are they required to be used. Please customize as needed. Thank you to the many educators who contributed to this project!
Directions for customizing presentations are available on the next slide.

I can determine which linking cube stick is longer than or shorter than the other.
Show Me Longer and Shorter-2 min.
Conduct activity as described in Lesson 2 but with longer and shorter. Now, students extend their hands from side to side to indicate length.
5-Group Hands-4 min.
Conduct this activity as described in Module 2, Lesson 1, but this time showing the 5-groups in the vertical orientation. Accordingly, students should put their hands side by side to represent the number.
5-Groups on the Dot Path-4 min.
Touch and count the dots on your dot path.
T: What do you notice about the dot path?
5-Groups on the Dot Path
I’m going to ask you to circle a group of dots.
Use the color change at 5 to count and circle them as fast as you can. Ready? Circle 5.
5-Groups on the Dot Path
How did you do that so fast?
T: Erase. Get ready for your next number. Circle 6.
T: How did you count 6?
Application Problem
5 min.
Write your name so that one letter is in each box. Begin with the box above the star. Don’t skip any boxes!
You made a name train. Compare your train to your partner’s. What do you notice?
Concept Development
29 min.
With your partner, arrange your linking cube stairs from yesterday on your desk.
This time, put them in order from the tallest to shortest.
Let’s count to make sure they are all here. How many are in the longest stick?
Concept Development
Find your 5-stick, and hold it up. How many?
Now, find your 2-stick, and compare it to your 5-stick. What do you notice?
Repeat after me, “My 2 is shorter than my 5. My 5 is longer than my 2.” (Hold up sticks, and demonstrate.)
Concept Development
Put your sticks down. Find your 5 and your 4. Compare the sticks. What do you notice?
Great! Now, use your 5, and choose another stick of your own. What did you choose?
Say it with me. “The 7 is longer than the 5. The 5 is shorter than the 7.” Did anyone choose a different stick? (Allow other students to tell about their choices.)
Concept Development
Do you see a stick that is shorter than the 1? Why not?
(Allow time for discussion.)
Do you see a stick that is longer than the 10? Why
not? (Allow time for discussion.)
Concept Development
Mix up all of your sticks on your desk. Now, you will play a game with your partner. One of you will close your eyes and choose two sticks. When you open your eyes, quickly tell your partner which stick is longer than the other one and which stick is shorter than the other one. Make sure you tell your partner in the way that we just practiced! Then, it will be your partner’s turn.
Concept Development
What did you notice while you were playing your game? (Allow time for responses.)
Did it matter if your sticks were up, down, or sideways?
Put your stairs away carefully for next time.
