TASK 6: Mathematical resources in the Classroom
Discuss possibilities for implementing activities
using these resources with your peer
List of resources that target specific
mathematical skills and concepts in the school
Mathematical Resources found in the
preschool classroom:
|
Mathematics Skill / Concept that can
be developed with it.
|
Exploring on possible activities to develop mathematical
skills and concepts using these materials
|
Unifix cubes
 |
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?
