New Kids on the Block

This unit is suited to a small class at a school where large building blocks and wood off-cuts are readily available. Asking students to construct affords a prime time to observe them as they build and to listen to the mathematics they talk about. Using blocks is a powerful medium for improving students'’s perception of objects and encourages creativity.

Shape Explorers

In this unit students identify attributes of 2D shapes and describe sides and corners of these shapes. They are identifying and classifying shapes by name, number of sides and corners and will describe similarities and differences between shapes.

Shape Makers

In this unit students classify and explore shapes. They will have opportunities to handle, describe and classify 2D and 3D shapes. At this stage it is not important for students to correctly name the shapes although we expect that many students will be able to. They will be using their own language in their descriptions and will be exploring similarities and differences and will be informally considering sides, corners, curved and straight lines.
