Links to the objective: Make and describe, shapes, pictures and patterns using, for example, solid shapes, templates, pin-board and elastic bands, squared paper, a programmable robot… Relate solid shapes to pictures of them. Use and begin to read the vocabulary related to length, mass and capacity. 12 Worksheets Sheets with Answers and example strategies to solve the problem. The overall aim is to help pupils to apply in a variety of situations the mathematics they have already learnt.The programme seeks to achieve this by teaching the strategies that will enable pupils to approach a variety of problems in a more logical and systematic way. The more specific aims of the programme are to promote the following: • willingness to attempt problems and to persevere; • confidence in one’s ability to solve problems; • awareness of problem-solving strategies; • awareness of the value of approaching problems in a systematic manner; • ability to select appropriate solution strategies; • ability to apply solution strategies accurately; • ability to monitor and evaluate one’s thinking whilst solving problems.

Links to the objective: Measure • Understand and use the vocabulary related to length, mass and capacity. Compare two lengths, masses or capacities by direct comparison; extend to more than two. Measure using uniform non-standard units (e.g. straws, wooden cubes, plastic weights, yogurt pots), or standard units (e.g. metre sticks, litre jugs). Shape and space • Use everyday language to describe features of familiar 3-D and 2-D shapes, including the cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, cone…, circle, triangle, square, rectangle…, referring to properties such as the shapes of flat faces, or the number of faces or corners… or the number and types of sides. • Talk about things that turn. Make whole turns and half turns.

Includes 1 Non-fiction text with 1 question/activity sheet. Text title: Shape The text is very short and includes a picture on the front of each reading card. Most children at Foundation Stage may not be able to read the text by themselves, though they may be able to guess at some of the words because of the context. The idea is that an adult or more-able reader will read the words to and with the child, before discussing the picture and the theme of the card. The Talk time questions on the other side of the card are simply suggested prompts for the adult. It is important to encourage the child to ask questions about the theme of the card. The Fun time activities are designed to trigger off cross-curricular investigations, research enquiries and creativity. The activities may be done at school or at home and a summary of the resources needed for each card is given on card G. The activities are mainly practical in nature, so that all children can succeed, whatever their levels of literacy. The Puzzle time section contains cartoons or puzzles that are related to the main theme of each card. They give children the opportunity of playing with words and reinforcing their language skills. Each card has an All join in section with either a short poem, a song or a rhyme. Very few children at this stage will be able to read the words by themselves, but the intention is for the adult and child to learn the rhyme by heart and enjoy saying it together.
