Developing Mathematics Understanding Shapes and Measures Ages 7-8

Developing Mathematics Understanding Shapes and Measures Ages 7-8 (with free cd-rom) by Hilary Koll & Steve Mills contains over 50 photocopiable activity sheets to promote independent work. The worksheets promote the use of correct mathematical language. There are extension activities to reinforce and develop the children’s learning. The book supports interactive teaching and learning with teacher/parent notes included. It comes with a CD-ROM that contains all of the activity sheets in a customisable format. Using our unique software supplied on the CD-ROM, teachers can effortlessly adapt the activities to make them more challenging or to create further exercises for children who need a bit more practice. New text and images can be easily imported and saved without fear of corrupting the original files, and teachers can print out as many copies as they wish. Areas of Learning in Developing Mathematics Understanding Shapes and Measures Ages 7-8: Relate 2D shapes and 3D solids to drawings of them; describe, visualise, classify, dram and make them Draw and complete shapes with reflective symmetry; draw the reflection of a shape in a mirror line along one side Read and record the vocabulary of position, direction and movement using the four compass directions to describe movement about a grid Use a set-square to draw right angles and to identify right angles in 2D shapes; compare angles with a right angle; recognise that a staright line is equivalent to 2 right angles. Know the relationships between kilograms and grams, kilometres and metres, metres and centimetres, litres and millilitres. Choose and use appropriate units to estimate, measure and record measurements Read to the nearest division and half-division, scales that are numbered or partially numbered; use the information tp measure and draw to a suitable degree of accuracy. Read the time on a 12 hour digital clock and to the nearest 5 minutes on an analogue clock Calculate time intervals and find start or end times to a given time interval Educational Benefits of Developing Mathematics Understanding Shapes and Measures Ages 7-8: develop an understanding of shapes and measurements develop recording of findings develop speaking and listening skills Dimensions – 296mm x 209mm x 3mm
