This game offers you an opportunity to improve your ability to estimate angles.
Charlie has been designing tablecloths for each weekday. He likes to use as many colours as he possibly can but insists that his tablecloths have some symmetry.
When tidying away toys in this activity, children will use their counting skills to check that all the toys are in the box.
By making ‘caterpillars’ in this activity, children will have an opportunity to practise using language of length and width, as well as using non-standard measures to compare lengths.
In this activity, children have the opportunity to wrap some toys and to measure and discuss the size of the box or wrapping paper that they will need.
Comparing the wrapped presents in this activity will give children the chance to explore and discuss weight, including the idea that large objects aren’t necessarily the heaviest.
In this task, children will explore 3D shapes when selecting which shapes to use in their tower.
In this activity, children will develop an awareness of the faces of 3D shapes by using them to make ‘footprints’ in soft dough.
In this task, children will make shapes out of loops of string and discuss what they notice about their shapes.
Create some shapes by combining two or more rectangles. What can you say about the areas and perimeters of the shapes you can make?
If you know the perimeter of a right angled triangle, what can you say about the area?
Can you find the volume of a cuboid, given its perimeters?
