We are really enjoying our maths stations every Thursday morning. Today we made a lot of changes to our stations.
Station 1: 2D and 3D shape. At this station we had to help poor Sooty (the puppet), as he was finding it very hard to tell the difference between his shapes. We had great fun making 2D shapes using match-sticks, lolly-sticks, pipe cleaners and wool. We also sorted lots of everyday 3D objects into sets of objects that roll and set that don't. We now know about circles, rectangles, squares and triangles; and also about cubes, cuboids, cylinders and spheres.
Station 2: Spatial Awareness. This station can be quite tricky. We used posters to develop our language of above, below, beside, in, out, right and left. We played the "Hokey Pokey" to try learn the difference between our right and our left. We are going to try practicing this at home.
Station 3: Independent Station. Here we matched number pictures to numerals. We also used white boards and peg boards to practice our number formation. WE did very well at working independently.
