Arkansas Framework: G.8.K..3, G.8.1.3, G.8.2.3
Shape Song
Have large shape cutouts for each student. They will put the shape on the floor when they see it come up on the screen and the class will sing the song together, marching on the appropriate shape. For the final round let students place all the shapes in a line or a circle on the floor and they can march up and down the row.
Sing to the tune of “The Farmer in the Dell”

Shape Song
Use the same cutouts as before. When a 3-dimensional image comes up, they will select a shape that is a property of the 3-d item and hold it up. Sing the song for all the appropriate answers.

This activity uses movement to explore one, two and three dimensional geometry. You will need one large stretch band or looped string per student. Discuss each one after the students have it made.
Individual work:
Make a line over your head.
Make a line beside you (on your right/left side).
Make a line in front of your body.
Make a between your knees.
Make a line under your chin.
Make a line between your elbow and your knee.

8. Working in teams of five or six have each student draw a number card.
One at a lime they will “JUMP” down the side of the rope to where their number should be located. Stand by your number but step out of the way, and the next one jumps.
Once everyone has jumped to their spot, the teacher will call students names and they will compare their location on the number line, using words like more than, less than, equal to. Repeat with another group.
Extend this by asking “how many more” or what is the “difference” from one number to another.

The Lesson
This lesson will stimulate students' thinking, since there is a fun-filled reward for each correct answer!
At the beginning of class, hand each student a small plastic sandwich bag containing 10 index cards with numbers or math facts on them.
Note: Write grade appropriate math problems on the cards. The real beauty of this game is that it can be used across the grades to reinforce a wide range of math skills. Think of any math skill you teach and chances are you will be able to use this game to reinforce that skill. For example:
If you teach first grade, the cards might have simple addition facts on them: 4+0, 2 + 5, 7 + 3, 3+ 3…
If you teach third grade you might provide cards offering practice in multiplication facts or reinforcement of subtraction with borrowing (regrouping).
If you teach fifth grade, you might provide a set of cards that include five decimals and five fractions.
If you teach seventh grade, you might provide a broad range of numbers (for example, -2, , 82, 16743, -1/2, -3 5/8…); students employ their knowledge of place value as they sequence the numbers.
Arrange students into groups of 2 to 4. Provide each group with a supply of clothespins and one long skipping rope. Tell students that when you give the signal to start the game, they are to open the packet of cards and use the clothespins to attach the cards to the jump rope in the correct order. Students have to figure out the value of each number/fact card in relation to the others.
After team members have correctly placed all their numbers/fact cards on the rope in the correct order, each team member takes one giant step toward the finish line. One team member goes first; putting down a clothespin where he or she lands; then the other two members take turns making a giant step toward the finish line. Mark with a clothespin the place where the students ended up. The then get another set of cards and continue the game. The first team to reach the finish line wins.
Another idea! Instead of taking giant steps, students might use the jump rope in a more physical activity. Have each student jump rope once toward the finish line, or let each team member jump until they trip. Tally the total number of jumps made by all team members; that number becomes their score for the round. At the end of the game, the team with the most accumulated jumps wins. (That takes some of the pressure off this game as an academic competition. The team that does the best at sequencing numbers might not end up winning the jump-rope tally contest.)
Students truly enjoy this activity; I use it at the middle school level to reinforce understanding of place value. It's refreshing to witness middle school students get so much enjoyment from math class.
Assessment
Students' understanding can be assessed by how well and how fast they arrange the number cards in the correct order. Because this activity is group work, it also might be beneficial to give a quiz on place value to assess individual students' grasp of the concepts.

15. Do-the-Math Hopscotch
WHAT YOU NEED: Sidewalk & Chalk or Pre-made Calculator Mat
HOW TO PLAY: 1. Setup: Draw the hopscotch area to resemble a calculator 2. The first player tosses her stone on the "1" key. She then hops on an equation equal to 1 (for example, she might jump to the following keys: 1, +, 0, =, 1 or 3, -, 2, =, 1).
A player's turn continues until she makes a mistake. The winner is the first person to work through all the numbers to 9.
Extension activities:
To include SLEs for odd and even use the following HOPPING RULES: Players use 1-footed hops when landing on odd numbers and zeroes, and 2-footed hops for even numbers and symbols.
Place value can be addressed by having students stand on each of the digits. Ex: 453, one person stands on each digit. Then ask name the person on the ones digit…tens digit…hundreds digit.
