More Description This module focuses on measurement skills: relating the number of days to a week and months to a year; measuring length and mass in non-standard units; and comparing and ordering objects. Geometry skills focus on sorting 2-D shapes and 3-D objects; describing, comparing, and constructing 3-D objects (cube, sphere, cone, cylinder, pyramid), and 2-D shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, circle). Also included:
- materials lists;
- activity descriptions;
- questioning techniques;
- problem-solving examples;
- activity centre and extension ideas;
- assessment suggestions; and
- activity sheets and visuals.
All modules include a list of children's books and websites related to the mathematics topics introduced, a detailed introduction to the Hands-On Mathematics program (guiding principles, implementation guidelines, an overview of the skills that students use and develop during mathematics inquiry), and a classroom assessment plan and record-keeping templates.
