Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs


Book Title: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Author: Judi Barrett

Mathematical Concepts and Language:

Questioning:
  • probability (likely, unlikely, always, sometimes, never)
  • making predictions
  • create their own scenarios
  • sorting, graphing 

Before:
  • What do you think this story is about?
  • What might happen in this book?

During:
  • Pg 1: Sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast: what is the chance (probability) that this would happen? (always, sometimes, never) - could stop a few times through the story with this prompt

After:
  • Chart with Always, Sometimes, Never: provide pictures or statements and children can sort/graph the ideas (students can then generate their own ideas)
