Welcome to the Lower Nursery Maths course, where we embark on an exciting journey into the world of numbers, shapes, and sizes! In this introductory session, we’ll be diving into a fundamental concept that lays the foundation for understanding spatial relationships – “Longer and Shorter.”
In our day-to-day lives, we encounter objects of various sizes, and being able to compare their lengths is a crucial skill. Whether it’s deciding which straw is longer, or figuring out the size of our toys, understanding the concepts of longer and shorter is a key step in early mathematical development.
Throughout this course, your little ones will engage in fun and interactive activities designed to enhance their observational skills and build a strong understanding of length. We’ll explore the concept through games, stories, and hands-on experiences that make learning enjoyable and memorable.
Our objectives for this section include:
1. Recognizing Length Differences: Children will learn to visually identify objects that are longer or shorter than others. Through playful exercises, they’ll start developing a sense of comparison.
2. Describing Lengths: We’ll encourage students to use simple language to describe the lengths of objects. This helps in building their communication skills while reinforcing the concept of longer and shorter.
3. Hands-On Exploration: Through creative and tactile activities, our little learners will get hands-on experience comparing lengths. This could involve using everyday objects, creating art, or engaging in group activities that promote collaborative learning.
4. Math through Play: Learning should be a joyful experience! We’ll integrate games and play into our lessons to make the concept of longer and shorter a fun and engaging part of your child’s day.
As we progress through the course, you’ll witness the development of foundational math skills that set the stage for more advanced concepts. We look forward to guiding your child through this exciting exploration of lengths, helping them build a strong mathematical foundation for the future.
