Description
Early Years’ Maths series contains meaningful spatial activities for the infants and lower primary classroom and provides opportunities for students to access, use and understand increasingly more difficult strategies and critical thinking processes.
The activities are designed to promote the understandings and mathematical language used to estimate, identify, describe and compare the length, area, mass and capacity of shapes and objects, using both formal and informal units. The concepts of measuring and sequencing time are also explored in detail. Each activity page contains a “Think About It” box as a finishing challenge that promotes the use of varied strategies and cooperative learning, catering for a range of student abilities.
Space Activities is designed to enhance the use of concrete materials within the classroom while exploring the mathematical concepts of regular and irregular shapes and objects; space, line and symmetry; location, direction and position. Students will be involved in manipulating, classifying and describing 2D shapes and familiar 3D objects
Measurement Activities contains activities which are designed to promote the understandings and mathematical language used to estimate, identify, describe and compare the length, area, mass and capacity of shapes and objects, using both formal and informal units.
Number Activities provides students with written activities to help develop and enhance their use of early mathematical skills and strategies, including: forward and backward number sequencing; identifying numerals and matching them to groups of objects; finding differences; solving problems; comparing numbers; using doubles and familiar number combinations and grouping numbers to make patterns.
