Morning Task

Monday Morning as always is our Maths adult led activity, today's task is a space, shape and measure task all about

length and height. To begin we want the children to watch the video below to remind them of our previous learning on length and height.

Year 1 Length and Height

In this video, we learn to compare length and height using the appropriate vocabulary. We also learn about the different ways we can measure length and heigh...

After a phonics which meant the children did a lot of sitting down we want this activity to be very active so we want the children to go around the house or garden and to find lots of different objects, can they order theses objects by height and/or length? It is also important for them to use mathematical vocabulary such as tall, short, tallest, shortest, big, small, biggest, smallest.

As an extra challenge can the children find the difference between these objects below:

At school when discussing height it was apparent that some of the children were unsure what thick and thin meant as a concept so I have attached a video for the children to use and to understand, again can they find objects that are the 'opposite'- thick and thin?
