LESSON PLANS: GRADES 3-5

math lessons using the hudson river: Grades 3-5

4/6/2016

 
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation offers a series of math lessons for grades 3-5 that involve study of Hudson River animals and shipping. The lessons incorporate 
Hudson River data to construct word problems that require mathematics skills for their solution. A number of the lessons require students to interpret information in tables or bar graphs. Several also build geography skills through use of Hudson River Miles, a system which uses mile numbers to locate points on the river.

The lessons include:
  • On the Trail of the Hudson's Migratory Fish
  • On the Trail of the Blue Crab
  • Tracking the Salt Front
  • Add & Subtract with Hudson River Shipping
  • ​Tens! Hundreds!! Thousands!!! of Tons
