Geometry And Spatial Sense Grade 1

This module focuses on identifying, comparing, describing, and sorting 2-D shapes and 3-D figures. Emphasis is also placed on symmetry and positional language. Also included: materials lists activity descriptions questioning techniques problem-solving examples activity centre and extension ideas assessment suggestions activity sheets and visuals All modules include a list of children's books and websites related to the mathematics topics introduced, a detailed introduction to the Hands-On Mathematics program (guiding principles, implementation guidelines, an overview of the skills that students use and develop during mathematics inquiry), and a classroom assessment plan and record-keeping templates.

This teacher resource offers a detailed introduction to the Hands-On Mathematics program (guiding principles, implementation guidelines, an overview of the processes that grade 1 students use and develop during mathematics inquiry), and a classroom assessment plan complete with record-keeping templates and connections to the Achievement Levels outlined in the Ontario Mathematics Curriculum. The resource also provides strategies and visual resources for developing students' mental math skills. The resource includes: Mental Math Strategies Unit 1: Patterning and Algebra Unit 2: Data Management and Probability Unit 3: Measurement Unit 4: Geometry and Spatial Sense Unit 5: Number Sense and Numeration Each unit is divided into lessons that focus on specific curricular expectations. Each lesson has materials lists, activity descriptions, questioning techniques, problem-solving examples, activity centre and extension ideas, assessment suggestions, activity sheets, and visuals required.

Based on the Geometry and Spatial Sense strand of The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1-8: Mathematics (1997). Deals with geometric concepts and also includes opportunities for students to reflect on the use of various shapes to improve or strengthen structures. Students are also challenged to identify the use of shapes within their environment. Contains lessons translated for French Immersion programs.

Parents will learn how to further develop and improve their child’s spatial sense using visual-spatial strategies of classifying, drawing diagrams, big idea concept building, visualizing, and more.

"Kids love to move. But how do we harness all that kinetic energy effectively for math learning? In Math on the Move, Malke Rosenfeld shows how pairing math concepts and whole body movement creates opportunities for students to make sense of math in entirely new ways. Malke shares her experience creating dynamic learning environments by: exploring the use of the body as a thinking tool, highlighting mathematical ideas that are usefully explored with a moving body, providing a range of entry points for learning to facilitate a moving math classroom. ..."--Publisher description.

Adheres to Canadian Curriculum! This Mastering Math book is a complete, condensed course of instruction or review for Grade One Mathematics. It is 100% Canadian content following the elementary mathematics curriculum guidelines. Each Mastering Math book is organized according to these five general curriculum threads: Number Sense & Numeration, Measurement, Geometry & Spatial Sense, Patterning & Algebra, and Data Management & Probability. Each topic area contains individual skills and concepts that match the learning expectations of the curriculum. Mastering Math can be used to support the standard classroom curriculum as every learning expectation in the year's curriculum is included. Mastering Math is also an excellent framework for reviewing the full curriculum at home for students who need extra practise. 97 Pages
