Using non-standard measures: length
Let's get measuring. Look at your hand. Stretch it out as big as it can go. The distance from your thumb to your little finger is called your hand span. Go around your house finding things that are smaller and things that are larger than your hand span. Write them in these circles.
Use string to measure
This practical and fun activity will enable your child to measure the snakes with string and compare the lengths using mathematical language.
Measurement: comparing lengths
Are you the tallest person in your family or the shortest? Are the items in your home taller or shorter than you? Let's do some measuring to find out!
Using non-standard measures: height
Let's have some fun with measuring height. Find the items listed and use them to measure the things around you (for example, draw something that is heavier than a can of beans). Why do you think we call this non-standard measuring?
Counting around the house
Look at the items in the table. Can you find them in your home? How many can you find? Count them and fill in the table!
Primary geometry: shape and space
Do you know your hexagons from your heptagons, your pentagonal pyramids from your octagonal prisms? From 2D shapes to angles and symmetry our seventy-page Primary Geometry: shape and space learning pack covers all aspects of the national curriculum (Shape and Space) and will ensure your child can use a protractor, translate a shape and look for a mirror line. Challenge them to a game of 3D shape dominoes, make a right-angle measurer and get started!
