Relationship Games
Use the following games as warm-up activities.
Game 1: Mental Math Riddles
(Individual, Partner or Groups)
Provide students with clues to a number using the relationship vocabulary words. You may choose to show some of the vocabulary flashcards as you say the relationship words (pages 12 - 18). Start off with one clue and increase the number of clues as the students understand the game. Allow time between each clue for students to process the math. Have students share the number only at the end of all of the clues.
Examples:
Start with…Take the number 4, double it. What is the new number? Work up to…. Take the number 3, triple it, and now increase it by 2. That number is 2 less than
the number I am thinking of. What number am I thinking of?
Since this game can be done with little/no prep work, this is a great game to use throughout the year while waiting in line at lunch, for the restroom, or during class changes.
Game 2: Telephone Line
Property of Cy-Fair ISD Elementary Math Dept. (5thGrade) 2014-2015
3
(Teams)Use this game after you have introduced letters to represent variables in expressions
Create teams by placing students into different lines. Give each student a folded “telephone message” (found on pages 4 - 8). The teacher whispers a given number into the ears of the first student in each line. The student writes their number on the “received line”, applies their given clue, writes the new number on the “send line”, and whispers the new number in the next student’s ear. The student line continues until the last student “rings in” (a play cell phone would be novel). TIP: begin with a short line of students and work your way up. Teacher must pre-select numbers and cards to be sure that they will work together. Otherwise a student may be asked to do something like find half of an odd number.
ExampleFirst Student Second Student Third Student Fourth Student
Teacher whispers“5”
Whispers to second student“10”
Whispers to thirdstudent“14”
Whispers to fourth student“18”
Ring in“9”
*You will need to run multiple copies of the cards in order to have enough copies for each line.

Relationship Lesson
TEKS: 5.4 Algebraic reasoning. The student applies mathematical process standards to develop concepts of expressions and equations. The student is expected to;(B) represent and solve multi-step problems involving four operations with numbers using equations with a letter standing for an unknown quantity; (R)(C) generate a numerical pattern when a given rule in the form of y =ax or y = x + a and graph (R)(D) recognize the difference between additive and multiplicative number patterns given in a table or a graph. (S)
Materials: Fraction circles, Fraction squares, or Fraction strips, task card, Blockhead/Circle Creature sheets (pp. 22 - 26), bags of color tiles, envelopes of color tiles, guided practice (pp. 23-26)
Background Knowledge: The teacher will illustrate various relationships with the fraction pieces, numbers, and other concrete items.
Relationship Vocabulary: one-half, two times, three times, four times, twice, double, triple, more than, less than, equal, one-third, one-fourth.
Begin by having a discussion about the vocabulary. The point to be made is that relationships can be written 2 ways. (2 is half of 4 and 4 is double 2). You will want to practice with smaller numbers at first. Record this on the board.
10 is two times ______. Are we looking for a bigger or smaller number? Why? (Smaller, because 10 is twice as big as the number we are looking for).What are other words for two times? (twice, double)
10 is two times 5. How did we find our answer? (10 = 2 x or 10 ÷ 2 = 5)
What is another way we can write the relationship between the numbers 10 and 5?5 is one-half of 10.
Repeat this process of writing the relationship 2 ways using whole numbers with various relationship vocabulary.
Concrete Relationship Vocabulary ActivityPass out a set of fraction circle pieces to each table. Write the word bank on the board.
Ask the students to compare the one yellow piece (¼ circle) to one pink piece (½ circle). What is the relationship between the two pieces? What is a number sentence that can be used to describe this Property of Cy-Fair ISD Elementary Math Dept. (5thGrade) 2014-2015

relationship? Guide students to use letters to represent the colors and then complete the relationship using the mathematical symbols. Here are some examples that describe the relationship between the yellow and pink pieces:
Yellow is one-half of pinkY = P ÷2
Pink is two times yellow Pink is twice as much as yellowPink is double yellowP = 2 YP = 2Y
Yellow is less than pinkY < P
Pink is more than yellow.P > Y
Repeat this process using other fraction pieces with various relationships.
Pass out bag 1, (B) ( 9 color tiles) and envelope 1 (E) (27 color tiles).
Ask the students to compare bag 1 (B) to envelope 1 (E). What is the relationship between the two amounts? What are some number sentences that can be used to describe the relationships?
Bag 1 is one-third of 27B = 27 ÷ 3
9 is 18 less than 279 = 27 – 18
Bag 1 has fewer color tiles than the envelopeB < E
27 is three times 927 = 3 9
27 is triple 927 = 3 9
27 is 18 greater than 927 is 18 more than 927 = 9 + 18
The envelope has more than two times the amount of color tiles than bag 1.E > 2 B
Repeat this process using other bags of concrete items with various relationships.
Comparing Creature Parts Activity:
Property of Cy-Fair ISD Elementary Math Dept. (5thGrade) 2014-2015
21
1. Each table or partners will receive fraction pieces and a blockhead/creature mat (found on pp. 22, 24 & 25). The students will place the appropriate pieces on top of the outlined figure.
2. Using the creature, students will fill in the missing blanks of the corresponding relationship sheet using words in the word bank (pp. 23, 26 & 30).
Encourage students to lay the pieces on top of each other to find the relationships.
3. Share and discuss.
Extension Cards (pg. 27):
1. The teacher has students create their own blockhead/circle creature and write relationships and number sentences between its parts.
2. The teacher uses the Create-A-Monster clue cards or has the students create the “monster”. Although the monsters may vary from group to group, the relationships will be the same. For example, if one of the clues is –
The monster’s head is twice the size of his feet. One group may have the ½ circle for the body and a whole circle for its head. Another group may have the ½ circle for the head and a ¼ circle for the body. Both monsters will show the correct relationship, but look differently. Discuss with the group.
3. You may make your own additional clue cards.

Relationships in Tables
In this section we are going to look at organizing the relationships in tables.
In the previous section, students discovered the relationships between the body parts of the creature. Provide each student with Circle Creature mat and the fraction circles so that they can identify which pieces represent the head (H) and the arm (A). Now the students can put the mats away. Ask students to place enough arm pieces (four 1/8 pieces) to completely cover the piece that was used for the creature’s head (1/2 piece).
Review this problem (TN pp 23) along with the fraction circles.
2. The arm is ___14__ the head.

KEYL – LegH – HeadA – ArmB - Body
28
The head is __4 X___ the arm. Write two number sentences to show this relationship using the letters in the key to represent the creature’s body parts. __A = H ÷4__ H = 4 A_
Restate this relationship in words with the students.
One creature’s head is the same size as four creature arms. (H = 4 A)
One creature’s arm is 14 the size of the creature’s head. (A = H ÷ 4)
Note: It is important to remind students that this is about the relationship between the sizes of body parts, not the number of body parts on creatures. If not reminded, students may become confused by the fact that each creature has 1 head and 2 arms.
Head
1 6 9
Arm 4 12 28 48
The head is equal to 4 arms
It is also important to state the inverse relationship:
1 arm is equal to ¼ of the head
Complete the table with your students. Guide them through the process as needed.
Now let’s take a look at another type of table.
The carnival is offering bonus tickets with every purchase of carnival tickets. The table below shows the different numbers of tickets purchased and the number of bonus tickets that are given.
Property of Cy-Fair ISD Elementary Math Dept. (5thGrade) 2014-2015
29
Guide the students to write an equation that shows the relationship between the 2 sets of data.
The number of tickets purchased + 6 = The number of bonus tickets (P + 6 = B)
The inverse relationship can also be written as:
The number of bonus tickets – 6 = The number of tickets purchased (B - 6 = P)
Have the students look at the two tables (p. 30). Discuss the similarities and differences between the two tables. By the end of the conversation, the Circle Creature table should be labeled as having a multiplicative relationship and the Ticket table as additive relationship.
Select the appropriate problems from the guided practice to model with your class and for partner/group work.

Substitution Strategy
You may refer to this strategy as the “cross off”, “plug it in”, or “substitution” strategy. The student will select a set of related numbers off of a chart, table or number machine and substitute the word(s) with a number that represents them. Students will then read the sentences using the numbers to determine which statement(s) is true. The students will then substitute another set of numbers off of the chart to confirm that their answer choice is correct.Property of Cy-Fair ISD Elementary Math Dept. (5thGrade) 2014-2015

Since students will write the relationship between the 2 sets of numbers two ways, they should be able to select the correct answer. Students can also use the same substitution strategy to show the correct answer.
6 = 8 x 4A. B = 8 x S F
6 = 48 + 28
B. B = S + 28 F 48 = 8 x 6
C. S = 8 x B T
48 = 6 + 28 D. S = B + 28 F
Please note that as the year progresses the numbers will become larger making them more difficult. In the beginning of the year, we will be using relationships that only use facts up to 12.
