Lesson 31
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 use benchmarks to create and compare rectangles of different lengths to make a city.
Sprint: Rekenrek to 5
(12 min)
It’s time for a Sprint! (Briefly recall previous Sprint preparation activities, and distribute Sprints facedown.) Take out your pencil and one crayon, any color.
On your mark, get set, go!

Pencils down, crayons up!
It’s time to check answers. What do you do if the answer is right?
What do you say?
We’ll begin with the hearts. Ready? 1.
Application Problem
(5 min)
Using your elastic or your yarn, make a string of beads that is as long as your hand. Turn to your partner to talk about how you decided how long to make your string. Compare your strings.
Are they the same length? Tie the ends of your string together to make a bracelet!
Concept Development (25 min)
Today we are going to make a math city! We will use construction paper for each of you to design a special building for our city. First, plan how tall you want your building to be. Think about comparing the height of your building to something else in the room. What are some of your ideas?
Concept Development (25 min)
Now, you need to think about the shape and color of your building. Turn to your partner and talk about your plan. What type of building do you want it to be?
Concept Development (25 min)
Now we will create our city! Students A and B, please bring your buildings to the front. Whose is shorter?
Concept Development (25 min)
Great! Please find a place on the bulletin board for your buildings. (Help students affix their work to the wall or bulletin board.)
Concept Development (25 min)
Students C and D, please bring up your buildings. Whose is taller?
Concept Development
Good! Please find a place in the city for your buildings. (Continue with sets of student work, each time comparing the heights of the buildings and reinforcing taller than and shorter than language.)
Concept Development
This is a wonderful city! Take some time to talk about the city with your friends. Which buildings do you think would be taller than your foot? Which ones do you think would be shorter than your hand? Are there any that would be shorter than a crayon? (Allow time for observation and discussion. Encourage students to use benchmarks for their comparison; “Here is my pencil! This building is longer, but this one is shorter than my pencil!”)
