3 The Foundation of VariQuest Learning Modules

ariQuest supports educators by providing countless opportunities to introduce a variety V of visuals and hands-on manipulatives into their classrooms. The use of visuals in the classroom helps students understand and retain information, specifically abstract concepts. Visuals can also help bridge the gap for students who struggle with vocabulary and/or language barriers. Hands-on manipulatives create learning experiences in which students interact with knowledge kinesthetically. Research shows that exposing students to a variety of learning experiences, including visual and kinesthetic, will increase student retention and help students learn to construct meaningful knowledge from information. The VariQuest Visual Learning Tools enhance classroom teachers’ ability to provide learning experiences that meet the learning styles of all students.

The aim of the following Learning Activities is to coordinate the VariQuest Visual Learning Tools with lessons and activities that incorporate visual and hands-on learning strategies to reinforce basic skills and provide fun and motivational activities that will supplement your school’s curriculum. For best practices and additional information on how to customize VariQuest posters, banners, flashcards, awards, cutouts and manipulatives, review the VariQuest Implementation Guide prior to use.

For the following learning activities, use construction paper for all cutouts unless otherwise specified. Pre-laminating construction paper using a cold laminator adds durability to cut out letters, shapes, numbers and collections.

4 Measurement and Geometry 1 Overview

The key concepts covered in this module are shapes, patterns, time and money. Children will explore two-dimensional shapes, including naming, describing, categorizing, sorting by attributes, manipulating, drawing, combining and using them for art projects. In pattern activities, children will use colors and shapes to identify patterns, continue patterns, and make their own patterns. Children will use analog and digital clock faces to tell time, show times of day from hour to five-minute intervals. Money concepts covered include coin names and values, coin and bill equivalences and using VariQuest money cutouts to “buy” classroom items. The learning activities in this VariQuest Learning Module are designed to meet educational standards in innovative and creative ways. Before turning to the learning activities, familiarize yourself with general information that will guarantee ease of use and flexibility.

Assessment

Following the learning activities, you will find a rubric that can be used to guide you in making observational assessments of students’ abilities related to the objectives outlined in the learning activities. It is recommended that you make a copy for each student to guide your ongoing informal assessments, making anecdotal notes on the back when appropriate.

VariQuest Content

You will find a complete list of all of the content included in this module between the Rubric and Work Order template. The content ID #s (ex. VIS001) for content referenced in the learning activities are listed in the materials section for each activity and are color-coded to help distinguish between templates for the Poster Maker (red) and Awards Maker (purple) and cutouts and collections for the Cutout Maker (gold).

Work Orders

You will also find a work order template on the last page of the Activity Guide. This template can be photocopied and used for placing orders for customized VariQuest posters, banners, stickers, awards, cutouts and collections. It is designed to be submitted to the primary user of the VariQuest Visual Learning Tools by those who may not have direct access to them.

Center Activity Place three items that have price tags on them on each small group table. Place a bowl of coin cutouts from Money Matters Bulletin Board on the table. Have children find the coins they would need to purchase each item in the bowl.

Then have them add up the total cost of all three items on the table. Check their work, have them put the coins back in the bowl and move to the next table. Repeat until each group makes their way to each table.
