Table 6: Mathematical resources in the Classroom
Discuss possibilities for implementing activities using these resources with your peer
List of resources that target specific mathematical skills and concepts in the school
Mathematical Resources
found in the preschool
classroom:
Unifix cubes
Mathematics Skill / Concept that can be
developed with it.
Counting, calculating including more / less than;
addition, subtraction
Comparing size and ordering bigger / longer,
smaller, shorter;
Exploring on possible activities to develop
mathematical skills and concepts using these
materials
Describe how this activity will be conducted using
these resources
Teacher tell them about patterning and
counting an classify the how many cubes they
have and what next in pattering
Calculating: the numbers of how many cubes.
Sorting, matching according to colour; patterns;
copying patterns.
Estimating / Measuring length & weight how many
bricks long, tall, wide? How many bricks will balance a
pencil, book etc?
Counting
Comparing size bigger / smaller
Ordering, sequencing, creating patterns
Children have to cut and paste according to the
size of each photo.
They have to compare which one is bigger and
which one is smaller.
