According Using The New York City Department of Education K-5 Science Scope and Sequence for Grades 1-3, list and discuss three areas where you can combine science with mathematics standards.
Grade 1- Science- 1-ESS1-1
Math- 1.MD.3A
For a first grade lesson that can integrate both science and mathematics, the science standard 1-
ESS1-1, focuses on observations of daily and seasonal changes in the sky, which connects with the math standard 1.MD.3a. The science component encourages students to observe the sky at different times, relating these findings to various seasons. The math standard comes into play as students practice telling and writing time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.
This connection allows students to utilize their mathematical skills to record the time of specific sky events, such as sunrise or sunset, aligning with the scientific exploration of daily and seasonal changes.
Grade 2- Science – 2-ESS2-2
Math - 2.G.A.1
A second grade lesson that integrates the science standard 2-ESS2-2 and the math standard 2.G.A.1 can explore the relationship between Earth's surface changes and geometric shapes. For the science aspect, students can explore how forces associated with plate motion cause alterations to the Earth's surface. Through scientific questioning and analysis, students can collect data on these changes and show their findings using models. The connection with the math standard is shown when students use geometric shapes to show landforms and bodies of water affected by the forces. They can draw shapes with specific attributes to show various features, showing an understanding of both the scientific and mathematical concepts.
Grade 3- Science- 3-LS1-1
Math- 3.OA.9
In a third grade integrated lesson, the science standard 3-LS1-1, which focuses on life sciences and understanding the structure and function of plant and animal parts, can be effectively connected with the math standard 3.OA.9. The connecting standard revolves around the concept of identifying and applying arithmetic patterns and properties. A lesson could show examining the growth patterns of plants over time, gathering data on their height at different times, and then
using multiplication or addition to analyze and predict their future growth. Students could create
mathematical equations to represent the growth patterns of various plants, showing their understanding of life science concepts and their ability to apply mathematical operations in real-
world scenarios.

What kind of lesson plan would you create in one of the combined science and mathematics areas?
The lesson plan I would create combining science and mathematics, would be using the second grade science standard 2-ESS2-2 and the math standard 2.G.A.1.
Lesson Title:
Exploring Earth's Surface Changes and Geometric Shapes
Objective:
Students will investigate the impact of forces associated with plate motion on Earth's surface changes. They will then represent these changes using geometric shapes, demonstrating an understanding of both science and mathematics standards.
Materials:
Pictures or models of landforms and bodies of water
Drawing materials (paper, pencils, crayons)
Classroom globe or maps
Chart paper and markers
Procedures:
Discuss the concept of plate motion and how it influences changes in Earth's surface.
Introduce the science standard (2-ESS2-2) and explain its relevance to understanding landforms and bodies of water.
Guide students in developing a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area.
Emphasize the use of geometric shapes to illustrate different features.
Introduce the math standard (2.G.A.1) and discuss how geometric shapes can have specific attributes.
Have students identify and draw shapes to represent specific landforms and bodies of water affected by plate motion.
