TASK 5: Classroom Resources
Mathematical
Resources found
in the classroom:
Unifix cubes
(Example given)
Mathematics Skill / Concept
that can be developed with it.
Suggest possible activities to develop
mathematical skills and concepts using
these materials
Counting, calculating including
more / less than; addition,
subtraction
Comparing size and ordering
bigger / longer, smaller, shorter;
Sorting, matching according to
colour; patterns; copying patterns.
Estimating / Measuring length &
weight how many bricks long, tall,
wide? How many bricks will
balance a pencil, book etc?
Model of Shapes
To name the different names of the
shapes. For example cube , cone ,
cylinder.
Comparing the size and order the
shapes
Sorting , matching the color
Teacher can do many math activities by the
shapes. For example , Teacher match the
different colors of the shapes , and let the
students find out the length and weight of
different shapes. Then, write the number in the
paper near each shapes. This can help students
to know different names of the shapes , and how
to find the area and perimeter of the shapes.
Estimating measuring length and
weight
Find out the area and perimeter of
the different shapes
Calculator
To find the answer for the difficult
math issues
Add and subtract and multiply and
divide numbers
Solve long mathematic issues
Ruler
Estimating measuring the things
and find the length and weight of
the shapes by ruler
Comparing the size
Teacher can do some activities by let the
students using the calculator. Firstly, Let the
students solve the math issues in groups and
walk around the class to help the students who
want help. Then , correct the worksheet for the
students
Teacher can do measuring activities using the
ruler. She will give them different things to
measuring them , and starting from the begging
to the end of the shape.
