Jump Math Book (We are still working on the attributes of 3D shapes) Shapes are everywhere and can be put together to make wonderful creations. page 151, 152, 153
Create a 3D shape castle If you have blocks at home, please make something to share with the class. You can also use boxes, balls and anything that is recyclable to create and design something wonderful. Take a picture and post it on Seesaw. This creation can be big or small. Can you name all the shapes that you used including 2D and 3D? I can show the children at school all of your home creations!
June 8-12
- Jump Math Book (We are still working on the attributes of 3D shapes)
- This week the face’s shape tells you what 3D shape you are looking at. Is the face flat or curved? Ask this question to yourself to help with your work this week.
- pages 146,147,148,149,150
- Blocks – If you have these at home, you can build a 3D creation and tell your parents what shapes you are using and what face you have on each shape. Lego is awesome for this activity! You can take a picture and share on Seesaw.
- Balls and More – Can you find as many spheres as possible at your home. Make a list of these in your blue journal book?
June 1-5
- Jump Math Book (We are now learning about 3D shapes) In the last month we have been practicing our shapes: square, rectangle, circles so now you will use these with our 3d shapes for your work.
- pages 141, 142, 143, 144, 145
- 3D shape exploration: Make a list of all the things you can find in the home and in your yard of cubes, rectangular prisms, cones, cylinders and spheres. You can draw pictures of the things you found too.
May 25-29
- Jump Math Book (Learning more about location words) page 135, 136, 137
- Seesaw: Have fun putting the items in the right spot with the Scarecrow Activity.
- Shape Activity: Draw on a piece of paper in order from bottom to top. Red square, blue circle, yellow triangle, pink heart, purple rectangle, orange square. Tell someone what is on top of the pink heart; what is at the bottom of the stack; what is at the top of the stack; what is below the purple rectangle; is there anything above the orange square?
- Monkey Rumble Go to Numbers 0-20 then work on Subtraction #1-5 and Money #1-5
- Math Scavenger Hunt Try out this math activity and write out the math sentences on a sheet of paper. The attachment is below.
May 19-22
- Jump Math Book (Learning about location words) page 132,133,134
- Draw shapes (2 squares, 2 circles, 2 triangles) on a piece of paper in any random place. Now use the words: up and down or above and below to describe the location of the shapes.
- Now use some toys like blocks, cars, or anything that is small. Place them in a random order around the room or if playing outside, in your yard. Now use the words ‘between’ ‘in front of’ ‘behind’ to describe your toys.
- On Seesaw, do the activity called, “Shape Pizza’. This is a good review for 2D shapes.
- Board Game/ Card Games – play with your family to review adding and subtracting. Here are some links that games adding to 10: https://www.whatdowedoallday.com/fun-math-card-game-make-ten https://www.whatdowedoallday.com/easy-math-game-tens-go-fish/

- Jump Math Book (one more and one less – reviewing addition (plus) and subtraction (minus) by 1). page 79, 80, 81
- Moving Game: One More or One Less
1. Pick a movement to do. Here are some examples: hopping, skipping, jumping on one leg, bear crawl, cross country skiing, side steps, jumping jacks, toe touches, knee raises, squats, leg lunges, leg kicks. Can you make up one of your own movements?
2. Have a partner (brother, sister, parent) pick a number between ‘1 and 20’ and say ‘plus’ or ‘minus.’ If you are playing by yourself, pick a number and say plus or minus.
3. Say the number sentence first and either subtract by 1 or add by 1. For example, your sister says 15 minus. You would say 15-1=14 then you would hop 14 times.
4. Try at least 10 different movements with 10 different numbers.
5. For a real challenge, try numbers up to 30 and you will get fit both your body and your math brain!
6. If you want, you can video tape yourself and post on Seesaw.
- Monkey Rumble - go to the website and click on Geometry then work on ‘Shapes’ only 1 to 4. Please do not do 5 to 8 as we have not taught this concept.
- Math Shape Collage Art Project – make a collage of shapes in different colours and sizes using coloured construction paper if you have it or colour paper for the project with crayons or markers or even paint. For extra, label all your 2D shapes. Count how many shapes you made. How many triangles? How many squares? How many rectangles? For extra challenge, you can graph your shapes in a bar graph. (A graphing shape sheet is added in the downloads.)

- Tree Trunk Measuring Activity (Check out Mrs. Bouchard on Seesaw measuring her tree trunks if you need an example) Have fun!
- Find a string or piece of yarn long enough to go around the trunk of a tree. Some trees may need a very long piece, and some may need a very short piece.
- Find 5 trees in your yard or your nearby forest to measure.
- Take your string and go all around the trunk then hold your finger on where it is finished. You can tie a knot here to help you remember where it stopped.
- You need a measuring tape with centimeters to measure your string. Take your string and put it on the measuring tape starting at ‘0’ (zero). What number is the end of your string closest to?
- Record your answers in your yellow Science/ SS journal book. You can even draw your trees with numbers beside each one.
- What did you find out about your measurements? Do tall trees have a large number? Did you get a small number for the trees that have leaves on them? What kind of trees did you measure? Do you have any, “I wonder” questions?

- Making 10s game: Find a deck of cards and use only the numbers from 1 to 9. Mix up your deck then pick 8 cards and put them face up. Place the other cards in a pile. Can you make 10 with 2 cards? When you make 10 put the 2 cards in one pile. Take 2 more cards and put them with the others. Can you make 10 again? If you can’t take 2 more cards and add to the 8. How many 10 pairs did you make? Try it again and see if you can beat your first try.
- Play a Board Game with your family: Take a picture if you like and post on Seesaw. Telling me about your game and what it is called. Board games are a fun way to learn your math skills.

April 20-24th
- Jump Math Book pages 62, (goes with the Distance Game) 63,64 (goes with the Guessing Game)
- Distance game: You are going to use the words closer, farther, closest and farthest. Have family members 2 or more or use some stuffed animals 2 or more standing in different spots outside. Now say who is closer to you, who is farther, who is the closest and who is the farthest. To have more fun, put something like a book, ball or whatever you can find that is big enough to see in a different spot. Then use the words again on who or what is closer, farther, closest and farthest compared to you.
- Guessing Game: Find yourself 20 counting items (for example lego blocks, stones, macaroni, seashells, paperclips). Grab a handful and guess how many you have in your hand. Are you close to 5, 10, 15 or 20? Try this activity at least 5 times. Do you get better at guessing? The word guess is the same as estimation.

April 14-17th
- Jump Math Book
pages 59,60,61 - Make your own numberline at home on a piece of paper or on the sidewalk with chalk from 0 to 10. If you use the sidewalk, use a stone to mark your number but if you use a paper, you can use a dime or a small pebble. For example, mark number 8 with a stone. Now count up to 10. How many numbers did it take? Now count down to '0' from '8'. How many numbers did it take? Which number was smaller? to 10 or to 0? Closer means the smaller number (the less amount of counting) so your answer would be 10. Try the examples on page 59 and talk it out as you do it. Take a picture and post on Seesaw.
