Week 8 Maths Learning
This week we are going to be learning at measure , including length and height.
Grown ups - Here is some language you will need to use this week
long short longer shorter longest shortest tall tallest
Monday
Today we are going to use natural objects to order by length. Go on a hunt outside and find some sticks or leaves. Can you choose 5 and order them from the longest to the shortest. Grown ups - ask us to point to the longest / shortest.
Extra challenge : if you have Lego pieces you could measure to see how many pieces long it is.
Tuesday
Today you could make some play dough to use or if you don't have the ingredients you could draw!
Make a playdough snake or draw a snake onto some paper . Now can you make a snake that is longer than yours ? then can you make a snake that is shorter than yours ?
Extra challenge: choose your longest snake. Go an find objects around the house that you think will be shorter than your snake. Bring them back and check by measuring against the snake. Remember they must both begin at the same part.
Keep your playdough or paper snakes for tomorrow
Wednesday
Today were going to continue our learning on measure but also include our learning on money too.
You will need you play dough or paper . Can you make 3 snakes ( 1 short , 1 longer, 1 longer than the shortest but shorter that the longest ). Now were going to use the coins to measure the snakes and see how long they are. Before you do it , have a guess.... how many coins long do you think it will be? now place them on and check ? how many coins did you use? how much money was this ? Can you you write this amounts?
Now repeat for your other snakes ? if they are shorter will it be more or less coins ?
Extra challenge : Could you measure using all 2p coins . What do you notice? was the number of coins more or less ? was the amount more or less?
Thursday
Family fun. Today's learning includes all of the family. Ask all of your family to stand in a row, can you order everyone from the tallest to the shortest person.
Now were going to measure them and see how many footprints tall them are.
First, you will need to draw around your foot lots of times on paper and cut them out - your grown ups can help you do this too. Remember to follow the lines when cutting.
Choose one of your family to lie down. Use your footprints to measure alongside them to see how many footprints tall they are.
