Guest Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Hi guys... Im to do 3 lessons in a sequence on measurement with Reception class. Any ideas as how to introduce the topic? TIA Samiya
finleysmaid Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 my immediate thought goes to the 3 bears....size/length/weigh/ etc ???? 1
Wildflowers Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I often point out (in real life or surprising contexts) how something is both longer and thinner / shorter and thicker or bigger and lighter / smaller and heavier etc, and that something that is tall can be long. We have opaque water bottles which we sometimes use to compare amount of water and weight, to use language as 'more, less, the most, the least' and 'lighter than', 'as heavy as' etc.
Wildflowers Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Just realised that lesson planning for a Reception class is very different from providing spontaneous learning opportunities to a a few Reception-aged children and older nursery children in a preschool...
catma Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I'd define exactly what measures you are looking at first!! Cx
