Move and Measure

The whole series

Every week of Move and Measure

12 weekly sessions, each its own step. Built for ages 5 to 8. Every week builds on the last, so the learning is a real climb, not a set of one-off games.

1

Big and small, near and far

Compare and guess with your whole body: bigger, smaller, nearer, farther, and a first estimate.

2

Right angles (90 degrees)

Your elbow is a protractor: make and name the 90 degree L, then hunt right angles in the room.

3

More angles (acute, obtuse, straight)

The angle family: acute is smaller than 90, obtuse bigger, straight is a flat 180.

Turns and directions

Quarter, half, and full turns, left and right, and the word clockwise, felt with the feet.

Body shapes

A shape is a rule: triangle three sides and corners, square four and four, circle one curve, made with the whole body.
