Managing Shape and Space in Real Life Context

Overview

Learn about managing shape and space in real life context. This course is ideal for beginners.

Intorduction

We use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems.
Patterns:
When we recognise, create and describe patterns, we are exploring the characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and using mathematical language to describe them.

Whether we use recognised units of measure such as centimetres or litres, or non-standard units such as a ‘cup’ or ‘teaspoon’ we recognise what the ‘unit’ represents, and we understand the quantities being discussed.
