Welcome to Lower Nursery Maths! In this engaging and interactive course, we will be exploring the exciting world of measurements through the fascinating concepts of “Heavy and Light.” This foundational topic is designed to introduce our young learners to the fundamental principles of weight and mass in a fun and enjoyable manner.
Course Overview: Heavy and Light Exploration
Objective:
– Develop an understanding of the concepts of heavy and light.
– Recognize and compare objects based on their weight.
– Use basic vocabulary related to weight and mass.
Week 1: Introduction to Weight
– We will kick off our exploration by introducing the concept of weight in a way that is relatable for our young learners. Through hands-on activities, children will explore the feeling of heavy and light objects.
Week 2: Sorting and Categorizing
– Our little mathematicians will engage in sorting and categorizing objects based on their weight. This activity aims to develop their observational skills and enhance their ability to differentiate between heavy and light items.
Week 3: Measuring with Balance
– This week, we will introduce a simple balance scale to the children. Through play and experimentation, they will learn to use the balance to compare the weights of different objects. This hands-on experience will deepen their understanding of the concept.
Week 4: Heavy and Light Stories
– Storytime! We’ll incorporate storytelling to make the learning experience even more enjoyable. Through carefully selected stories and interactive discussions, children will reinforce their understanding of heavy and light concepts.
Week 5: Fun with Comparisons
– Building on their knowledge, children will engage in various games and activities that involve comparing the weights of different objects. This playful approach will strengthen their ability to make comparisons and identify the relative weight of objects.
Week 6: Art and Creativity – Heavy and Light Crafts
– Let’s get creative! We will conclude our course with a fun session of arts and crafts, where children will use their newfound knowledge to create projects related to heavy and light. This hands-on activity will not only be a delightful experience but also a way to reinforce their learning in a creative manner.
Through this Lower Nursery Maths course, we aim to provide a solid foundation for understanding weight and mass concepts. Our approach encourages curiosity, exploration, and a love for learning mathematics from an early age. We look forward to embarking on this educational journey with your little ones.
