Early Mathematical Experiences

In this lesson, we will learn how to sort a variety of objects according to just one prominent feature at a time.

Sorting a collection of objects based on one attribute

In this lesson, we will learn that there can be more than one way to sort objects, focusing on just one attribute at a time.

Sorting a collection of objects in different ways

In this lesson, we will learn to form sets based on a variety of given criteria. This lesson will be based on the use of concrete manuipulates found in the home.

Sorting concrete objects to form sets

In this lesson, we will learn to form sets based on a variety of given criteria. This lesson will be based on the use of pictures.

Sorting pictures to form a set

In this lesson, we will sort shapes according to one criteria at a time.

Sorting shapes based on name or colour

In this lesson, we will develop our observation skills as we learn to match pairs of identical objects. We will do this through the use of objects and pictures.

Matching pairs of identical objects

In this lesson, we will match associated items together with an expectation to explain our reasons for putting them together.

Matching pairs of related objects

In this lesson, we will explore the concept of equal sets to identify whether or not there are the same amount or not.

Matching objects in to equal sets

In this lesson, we will explore the concept of unequal sets to identify whether or not there are the same amount or not.

Matching objects in to unequal sets

In this lesson, we will use of compare quantities through play.

Comparing sets without counting

In this lesson, we will focus on language related to size, tall, short, taller, shorter and the same

Comparing similar objects by size

In this lesson, we will focus on capacity and the language associated with it.

Comparing similar objects that are equal in size

In this lesson, we will use concrete objects and pictorial representations to practice our ordering skills, taking inspiration from Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Ordering objects according to size

In this lesson, we will order sets of objects, without the need for counting. We will focus purely on the use of concrete objects.

Ordering sets without counting

In this lesson, we will combine four early mathematical experiences as we consider classifying, matching, comparing and ordering.
