Choose one with your teacher. Large paper pieces, tactile pieces, a screen or your own pointing can all show a maths idea. Tell, sign, draw or use your communication device to give a reason. You can direct an adult to move a piece. These paper maps are pretend.
101 · Sort by the edge
Look at large shape cards. Make a group with curved edges and a group with straight edges. Can you explain one choice by showing its edge? Ask if a shape seems to have both.
102 · Turn it
Choose two triangles of different size or direction. Turn one. Did it stop having three straight sides and three corners? Show how you checked.
103 · Four sides, another clue
Compare a square and a long rectangle. What can you say about both? What extra clue helps you describe the square card? Use matched paper strips if useful.
104 · Shapes in a picture
Look at an original paper room picture. Find a familiar shape within an object. Point to the part that made you think so. Does every part of the object have that shape?
105 · Make and explain
Use large strips or a safe digital tool to make a shape. Tell someone how many sides or corners you checked. Your teacher will give you a different new card for a quiet first check.
106 · Where, relative to what?
Put a large paper cup picture on a mat picture, then beside the mat. Say where it is relative to the mat each time.
107 · Two neighbours
Put a book picture between a star and a cup picture on paper. Name the two things it is between. Move the cup and check whether your sentence is still true.
108 · Follow two steps
On a pretend paper map, begin at the star. Go to the book, then to the box. Point after each step. Where did the visitor finish relative to the book?
109 · Change the map
Move one paper symbol. Give a two-step route that still reaches your chosen place. Let another person follow only your stated steps. Revise one unclear word.
Day 110 brings a different teacher map. Your first route helps plan what to practise next. There is no speed race.
