Here are some terms, phrases, and strategies used in the beginning of this module:
- Compare lengths using taller than and shorter than with aligned and non-aligned endpoint
- Make comparisions using longer than and shorter than
- Compare objects using the same as
Here are some new vocabulary
words that will be introduced in December:
- Compare (specifically using direct comparison)
- Endpoint (with reference to alignment for direct comparison)
- Height (vertical distance measurement from bottom to top)
- Length (distance measurement from end to end; in a rectangular shape, length can be used to describe any of the four sides)
- Longer than/shorter than (length comparison)
How you can help at home:
- Have students use a variety of items (e.g. string, popsicle stick, paper clip, pencil, etc) as a means to measure other household items and ask them to compare the items (e.g. The microwave is taller than the pencil).
- Continue reviewing skills learned from Module 2 regarding positional concepts (e.g. above, below, next to, in front of, behind) and attributes of 2D (flat, straight lines, curved lines, closed, missing a piece) and 3D shapes (rolls, # of faces, curved sides, stacks, etc)!
- Continue reviewing counting The Math Way and other number concepts.
