Math: Ways to Make 6
Yesterday we played  Match Me but today we are going to kick it up a notch. We are just going to work with the number 6, but we are going to do it in a fun new way.  I am going to use two colors to make six. So I am going to use blue and orange cubes. If I start with 2 blue, I will need 4 orange to make 6, because 2 and 4 make 6. I need to be sure that I go back and count each cube to be sure I have 6 in all. Now, I want to make 6 a different way. I can start with 4 blue, how many more do I need to make 6?   Provide additional examples of decomposing the number 6. 
 Today you will play match it with your partner.  You will be building the number 6 in lots of different ways. Once you build it, your partner will match it. See how many different ways you can make 6.   
Student Application: Students will practice writing the number 6.  
Students will use two different colored crayons to make 6 in a variety of ways

The Scientific Method
Scientists Analyze Data and Create a Graph  
Connect: Remember yesterday when we said that after a scientist conducts his experiment he observes what happens and collects data?  
Teach: Today I am going to show you how scientists analyze their data and create a graph. Let me show you what I mean. Yesterday I drew a picture on my paper to show what happened to each of the gummy bears. Now, I am going to use that data, my drawing, to create a graph to compare each gummy bear. Yesterday when we looked in the cups, the gummy bear in the vinegar had disappeared. It lasted only one day. So on my graph, I am going to color one box in the vinegar row. Repeat for each of the other two liquids. If there is still evidence of the bear in the cup, we will color in day 2. You will continue to develop this graph over the next 5 days. 
Active Engagement: Now it’s your turn. You are going to be a scientist! I want you to analyze your data and create a graph. 
Link: Remember boys and girls, today and everyday good scientists know we always analyze our data and create a graph.
Application: Invite the children to record, through text or drawing, how a scientist uses graphs.
