Making Clocks
Introduction to Graphing
Children use previous sorting lessons to make a graph, realizing there is a clear way to display data.
Building A Graph
Students and their teacher review different components of a graph and build a graph together.
Growing Pattern
Through a story about magical snakes, children think about numerical patterns.
Name Pattern
Children identify patterns in their name by using a 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 use Venn Diagrams to sort items by more than one attribute.
Introduction to Patterning
Students learn to recognize and extend patterns in different contexts, as well as identify features that define a pattern.
The Animal Grid Game
Students love this offline coding lesson! 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 ladybugs inside vs. outside of a house.
Patterns with Beads
Children are challenged to make multiple patterns with beads of different sizes, shapes, and colours.
Using Names to Explore Graphing
Integrate literacy and math by exploring the number of letters in each child's name.
Can You Draw This?
Students are briefly shown a series of designs inside a square and must recreate them from memory.
Unifix Counting Towers
Students get their minds and hands engaged with numeracy while making Unifix Towers.
Spatializing Area
Students use cutout shapes to understand the relationship between size, area and relevant measurements.
Sorting Apples
What Colour is Your Iris?
Students are introduced to graphing by observing the colour of their eye and comparing it to their classmates.
Building Towers
Students use a number card to build a Unifix tower and compare to determine whose tower is taller.
Dice Toss
Students engage in a simple probability experiment that 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.
The Garden Patio
Children explore measurement and geometry and spatial sense through a narrative about a garden patio.
Dominoes Parking Lot Game
Students are challenged to place dominoes in their corresponding parking spot.
Number Hunt
Students practice one-to-one correspondence in this fun dice-rolling, bingo-dabbing game!
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 in this lesson.
Symmetry Game
Allow 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 a graphing package to sort and classify objects.
Sorting Children
Students organize, compare, contrast, and communicate how to sort and classify their classmates.
War
Students practice with number magnitude in a simple card game.
Talking Tetris
Students use directional vocabulary to compose and decompose structures on a grid using various 2D shapes.
Doubling Up
Help children understand exponential growth and doubling with this fun hands-on activity.
100 Frame Bingo
Students will practice arranging place value to compose two-digit numbers in this variation of Bingo.
Shape Shifter
Enhance students spatial sense using grid coordinates, geometric transformations and problem solving.
Very Hungry Caterpillar Adventure
Take your students on a math coding adventure with a game that accompanies a read aloud of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Roll and Build Bingo
Students practice reading and representing numbers through a fun bingo game.
