Buster the Balloon Resource –deflated balloonBlow up the balloon to show the balloon getting bigger.Resource – two of various objects from the post office corner of the classroom- tubes, envelopes and stamps Child selects the bigger, longer or wider object and describes the relationship to a friend using ‘er’ words.

Your idea:

Stan the FirefighterResource – three or more of various clothing objects, toys, boxes or common classroom itemsChild sorts the items and then places the objects in order to find the longest, biggest, widest, thickest object and describes the relationship to a friend using ‘est’ words. Child selects the largest box and places boxes inside other boxes to put the boxes in order.

Your idea:

Measurement


The focus of measurement is to gradually learn to complete a unit count. Early Childhood provides experiences with non-standard units before formal measurement units.

The Best Bug Resource – concrete materials – quantity of the same type of object: popsicle sticks, large paper clips, other available counters Child places end-to-end same objects next to another selected item to count how many same objects match the selected item’s length.Resource – pictorial measuring tapes Use the interests of the children or characters from stories you have read to the children.Child uses pictorial measuring tape to measure objects in the learning environment.

I Think I’ll Go FlyingResource – outside at large equipment or obstacle course, camera• Teacher models positional language as children act out the location and direction

movements (next to, under, through, etc.). Teacher takes photographs of children moving or standing to show location or direction positions.

Your idea:

Look and See Resource – Look and See Big Book, counters• Child lays book flat on floor. For each page, child places a counter on matching pictorial

three dimension object on facing page.

Resource – Classroom / Commercial 3D objects, Look and See Big Book• Child selects a 3D object and finds the matching pictorial representation on a page in the

Big Book. Then says the name of the 3D object.

Your idea:

Geometry - Language of position and direction

Geometry - Three-dimensional objects
