SEMESTER A:
Unit 2, Lesson 8
Numbers at Home Scavenger Hunt
It’s time to start your first math portfolio! You’ll notice that math portfolios look a bit different for Gifted and Talented math. You will turn in a few normal portfolios but you will also work on a semester-long portfolio called your At Home with Math Project.
You’ll work on one part of your At Home with Math Project during every unit until you turn it in when you reach Unit 7. This means you’ll need to be organized and keep track of each part of this project as you go. Please keep each part in a safe place and do not wait until the portfolio is due to begin it!
In today’s lesson, you’ll complete the Numbers at Home Scavenger Hunt part of the project.
I’m including the directions below, but they are also on the second page of today’s lesson. To help you stay organized, I’ve created a worksheet for you to print out and complete for this part of your project.
Directions:
Go on a scavenger hunt for numbers around your home!
Numbers like to hide on the pages of books. Most books show page numbers in the corner of every page. Find three books that have over 100 pages, but not more than 1,000 pages.
Remember, you won’t be submitting this worksheet until unit 7, so put it in a safe place when you’re done!
Unit 3, Lesson 11
Factor Pair Array
Today you’ll continue working on the next part of your At Home with Math portfolio that you started in the last unit.
Before you begin, make sure you’ve completed the Numbers at Home Scavenger Hunt part of this portfolio and that you know where it is! If you haven’t done this yet or if you can’t find it, go back to unit 2, lesson 8 and finish that part before completing today’s lesson.
In today’s lesson, you’ll complete the Factor Pair Arrays part of the project.
To help you stay organized, I’ve created a worksheet for you to print out and complete for this part of your project.
Factor Pair Arrays
You will now apply what you have learned about arrays and factors in a way that will lead to some cool discoveries about multiplication!
Find all the possible factor arrays for each number from 1 to 20 by modeling them with the counters that were sent to you in your Acadience packet at the beginning of the year. Then, list them in your project notebook (or on the worksheet linked above).
PUT THIS IN A SAFE PLACE SO YOU HAVE IT READY TO TURN IN WHEN YOUR PORTFOLIO IS DUE IN UNIT 7!

- List as many places in your home with numbers as you can in three minutes.
- Choose your favorite three places. For each of them, describe how numbers are used and give three examples.
Numbers like to hide on the pages of books. Most books show page numbers in the corner of every page. Find three books that have over 100 pages, but not more than 1,000 pages.
- Write the title and total number of pages in the book. Each number should be a three-digit number.
- Find the sum of the three numbers to find how many pages are in the books altogether.
- Determine which book has the most pages and which one has the fewest pages. How many more pages are in the longer book?

SEMESTER B:
At Home with Math- Parts 1 and 2
Unit 2 Lesson 6- HOUSEHOLD AREAS
Find the area of two different items in your home. One item should be a square or a rectangle (such as a rug, window, step, table, etc.) and one should have an irregular shape (maybe a room that’s not a square or rectangle, an irregularly shaped countertop, etc.). You can put two or three objects together to create an irregular shape if needed.
Unit 3 Lesson 6- ROOM SCALE DRAWING
You’ll need to turn in the scale drawing on grid paper, the perimeter of the room and the largest piece of furniture, and the equations you used to solve. Make sure you’ve also written your scale on your grid paper.

You can put two or three objects together to create an irregular shape if needed.
- Draw a sketch of each object you chose on a separate page in your project notebook. Be sure to label and describe your objects.
- Measure the length of the sides of the objects and label your drawing with the measurements.
- Find the area of each figure. Show your work.
Unit 3 Lesson 6- ROOM SCALE DRAWING
- Choose a room in your home.
- Draw a sketch in your notebook first (this doesn’t need to be to scale yet).
- Measure around the room and around the edges of the furniture. Be sure to label and describe the objects in your sketch.
- Choose an appropriate scale, such as 1 inch = 1 foot. Write this scale on your paper.
- Create your scale drawing with all lines the correct length to represent the actual measurement. You’ll need to use grid paper for this.
- Find the perimeter of the room. Then find the perimeter of the largest piece of furniture in the room. Show your work.
- Explain your scale drawing to your Learning Coach. They can help you check over your work.
You’ll need to turn in the scale drawing on grid paper, the perimeter of the room and the largest piece of furniture, and the equations you used to solve. Make sure you’ve also written your scale on your grid paper.
