Lesson 2 - Math
 Daisy Chains
    Multiples and conversion of metric units in order to calculate
the number of daisys required to complete a necklace.
1. Focus and Review

     Review with the students how to find multiples.  Have the students count using multiples with several different numbers.

2. Objectives

  1. Students will determine the number of daisies necessary to make 3 cm of necklace.  Then, using multiples, detemine the number of daisies necssary to make a neclace large enough for them.
  2. Students will use multiples to compute the number of beads necessary to complete daisy chain necklace large enough for them.
  3. Students will complete a daisy chain using traditional Cherokee methods.
3. Teacher Input 4. Guided Practice
  • Students will compute the numbers of beads and daisy needed for their necklaces.
  • The students will compute the number of beads and daisies necessary to complete necklaces of various lengths.
  • As students are working, the teacher will circulate to ensure that the numbers are correct.
  • 5. Independent Practice 6. Closure
