classroom:
Cubes
Mathematics Skill / Concept that can be
developed with it.
Sorting, matching, patterns, ordering, calculating
for greater than and less than, count for addition,
tall and short.
Exploring on possible activities to develop
mathematical skills and concepts using these
materials
Describe how this activity will be conducted using
these resources
Let the kids to count the cubes with their
fingers to know which one is big and which one
is small
Calculating the cubes to find the answer
Counters
Counting, calculating less than, greater than,
addition, compare, matching, sorting
Calculating the counters to make it easy to find
the answer
Practice math problems like Count With
Counters with fun math worksheets
Matching the colors
Shapes
Counting, Comparing size, and link it with the
environment such as the sun looks like any
shape? Ordering, sequencing, creating patterns
Search for the shapes in the box and count the
same shapes
