What can children learn from a handful of bottle tops, a row of shapes or a pretend shop? In Maths That Makes Sense Grade R Learner Book, everyday objects and games help young learners discover maths through play.
Across 18 illustrated units, children count to 10, compare groups, share objects, make repeating patterns and spot shapes around them. They explore length, weight, capacity and time, and learn how a simple picture graph can tell a story.
Designed around South Africa's Grade R CAPS Mathematics curriculum, the book is made for children and grown-ups to use together. An adult reads the short prompts aloud, and children show what they notice by pointing, talking, moving objects or drawing. Practical guidance helps parents, caregivers and teachers see what a child understands and choose what to try next.
Use it at home or in the classroom with simple materials and a little time to look, talk, play and discover.
