Guest Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I have to plan and implement a learning acitivity which involves helping a pupil or group of pupils to understand and use shape, space or measures. This is for my course. I have been searching on google but cannot find anything much. I was planning it for 5-7 year olds. Any ideas or websites would be welcome.

AnonyMouse_79 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Shape, space and measure is a very broad area and I would think that you need to be a bit more specific both in topic and in age group. The areas thought of under that heading are ususally shape 2d & 3d money time measuring weighing capacity I'm not sure exactly what you can access without paying anymore but the abacus maths scheme which was available via hamiltontrust.org.uk and ought to give you some ideas. You might also find the materials at myprimary.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Measuring and weighing are always good fun and very practical. Measuring - could compare heights of children by sticking post-its on the wall to show height of each child. Foot length, using unifix cubes... General measuring of objects in classroom, using variety of measuring implements (hands, wooden blocks, unifix, dominoes etc) Weighing - ordering objects by weight or measuring using non-standard measures.

AnonyMouse_4544 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 For measure the children have painted sunflowers the same height as themselves then sorted these by height and displayed around the walls as a garden. Using Goldilocks story to compare sizes Three sets of bowls spoons etc. Russian dolls are a favourite for ordering by size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
