Welcome to the Lower Nursery Maths course, where we embark on an exciting journey of discovery and learning! In this course, we will delve into the fascinating world of measurements, starting with the concept of “Tallest and Shortest.”
Understanding height and length is a fundamental skill that forms the basis for various mathematical concepts. The objective of this module is to introduce our young learners to the concepts of tallness and shortness in a fun and engaging manner. Through interactive activities, games, and colorful visuals, we aim to make learning a delightful experience for our little mathematicians.
Course Objectives:
1. Identifying Tallest and Shortest: Through hands-on activities and visual aids, children will learn to recognize and compare the height of different objects and people.
2. Basic Measurement Skills: Introduce basic measurement concepts such as tall, short, taller, and shorter. This sets the foundation for more advanced concepts in the future.
3. Developing Language Skills: Encourage the use of descriptive language to express height differences, fostering both mathematical and linguistic development.
4. Hands-On Learning: Engage students in various activities and games that involve direct interaction with objects, promoting a deeper understanding of the concepts.
Topics Covered:
1. Comparing Sizes: We’ll explore the concept of size by comparing everyday objects, animals, and even our friends in the class. Who is the tallest? Who is the shortest? Let’s find out together!
2. Ordering by Height: Through fun activities, we’ll practice arranging objects in order of height, helping children understand the concept of relative size.
3. Measuring with Non-Standard Units: Introduce the idea of measurement using non-standard units such as blocks, toys, or even our own hands. This interactive approach makes learning tangible and enjoyable.
Assessment and Progression:
Assessment will be conducted through observations during activities and informal discussions. As students progress, we will introduce more complex concepts building upon their understanding of height and size.
By the end of this course, our young mathematicians will not only be able to identify the tallest and shortest objects but will also have developed a solid foundation for future mathematical concepts. Let’s embark on this exciting adventure of learning and exploration together.
