Meet the 2D and 3D shapes

2D and 3D shapes are fun and relatively easy topics to learn in math, mostly because they are visual.

Once the kids have mastered basic knowledge, a game called "Shape sorter" can be played with them.

You can use the following file and print it out to play the game.

 _________________________________________________________________

Make two teams:

Start: ask questions, in turn, this sequence.

-Is the shape 2Dor 3D?

-If it's a 2D, the team asks if it has more than 1 side? 

-Keep guessing the shape till reached the right one.

Hundred Chart activities

A hundred chart or 120 chart is the ultimate tool for primary students to learn and practice any concept.

What is a 100/120 chart?

It's basically a grid with ten boxes across one above the other, a total of 12 rows with numbers 1 till 120 written from top left till bottom right.

Use a marker to circle numbers

Skip count by 4s

Kids get to see a hundred chart in their classrooms but it's ON the wall or the display board. Any other place they have seen is in their copies. Its sole purpose is to practice writing numbers and learning the sequence.
But it can be used for teaching many other concepts. To name a few; odd-even, skip counting, and pattern recognition.

In the above picture, the student is circling numbers after skip counting by 4.

I regularly use a hundred chart in my math class, first used it for learning skip counting and it really helps students get to grasp the concept of multiplication tables. They were also able to see how more than one fact matches the other for example 3X4 is the same as 4X3 and formed the "commutative property" themselves.   :)
