Making Clocks
Introduction to Graphing
Graphs are a clear way to display data. Children use previous sorting lessons to learn how to make a graph
Building A Graph
Students and their teacher review different components of a graph and build a graph together
Growing Pattern
Through this fun story about magical snakes, children think about numerical patterns.
Name Pattern
Children continue to notice patterns in their name by using this grid and recognizing the repetition that occurs
Introduction to Venn Diagrams
Introduce students to one of the essential hallmarks of elementary data management: the Venn Diagram
Cuisenaire Rods
Students investigate relationships between numbers by comparing the size of cuisenaire rods
Make A Venn Diagram
Students learn how to sort items by multiple attributes using Venn Diagrams
Introduction to Patterning
Students learn to recognize and extend patterns in different contexts and identify the features that define a pattern
The Animal Grid Game
Students love this offline coding lesson in which they get to be the zookeeper feeding animals
Sorting Material
Students sort and describe different types of materials such as little animals, beads, and shapes
Story Problems
Story problems can be used throughout the year to reinforce number sense in a fun and engaging way!
Patterns with Unifix Cubes
Unifix cubes are a great tool to use to explore patterns. In this lesson, children make their own patterns
Ladybug Patterns
By using only one kind of material, students are challenged to think about making patterns in a different way
Ladybug Houses
Students develop an understanding of numbers by comparing the number of ladybugs inside vs. outside of the house
Patterns with Beads
Children are challenged with making multiple patterns with beads of different size, shapes, and colours
Using Names to Explore Graphing
Is it a name? Is it a puzzle? Students discover all of the above in this activity as they practice their numeracy skills
Can You Draw This?
Students combine art with math in this activity to express their knowledge of spatial language and geometric shapes
Unifix Counting Towers
Students get their minds and hands engaged with numeracy while making Unifix Towers
Spatializing Area (Part 1 of 3)
Students use cutout shapes to understand the relationship between size, area and relevant measurements
Spatializing Area (Part 2 of 3)
Students use cutout shapes to understand the relationship between size, area and relevant measurements
Spatializing Area (Part 3 of 3)
Students use cutout shapes to understand the relationship between size, area and relevant measurements
Sorting Apples
What Colour Is Your Iris?
In this activity, early years students are introduced to graphing by observing the colour of their eye
Building Towers
Students take turns to drawing a number card and building a corresponding unifix tower to see whose tower is taller
Dice Toss
Students engage in a simple probability experiment that only requires dice and mental math strategies
Hexagon Card Game
Students race to completely fill in the outline of a hexagon using different combinations of pattern blocks
Exploring Accessibility Issues with Mathematics
Students demonstrate knowledge of measurement, data management and probability, and geometry
The Garden Patio
Children explore measurement and geometry and spatial sense through a narrative about a garden patio.
Dominoes Parking Lot Game
Students are given the challenge of placing dominoes in their corresponding parking spot.
Number Hunt
Students practice one-to-one correspondence in this fun dice-rolling, bingo-dabbing game!
Curious George and the Rabbits
Students work together to demonstrate different ways to compose and decompose the number 10 or 20.
Pattern Hunt
Students go on a pattern hunt to look for naturally occurring patterns in their environment.
Proportions
Students measure length and area through focused exploration in this guided activity.
Circle to Bar Graph
What is easier to read - a circle graph or a bar graph? Children discover the answer with this lesson.
Symmetry Game
This game allows children to be creative and practice the basics of symmetry through play with classmates.
Smarties Graph
Every box of Smarties contains a different amount of each colour. Children graph what their box contains.
Graphs on Paper
Students practice precise graphing skills by using this graphing package to sort and classify objects.
Sorting Children
By sorting children in the class, students observe the similarities and differences between their classmates.
War
Students practice with number magnitude in a simple card game.
