In Grade 1, our students learned the meaning of the words \u2018before\u2019 and \u2018after\u2019.<\/span> Then, in an outdoor learning task, they applied this knowledge mathematically by calling out the numbers that came before and after a &#8216;secret number&#8217; that their friend wrote with the chalk on the floor. Grade 2\u2019s students also <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">worked in small groups outdoors to depict a number line up to 1000, and then used the chalk drawing for practising their addition and subtraction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Grade 3, students played a card game to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">create four-digit numbers and rounded them to the nearest 1000. They also <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">gained conceptual understanding about measurement through a class scavenger hunt where they were thrilled to measure the length of the objects they could spot around their learning space.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Grade 4, learning about addition of four-digit numbers became a little bit more fun by playing an archery game. Students chose a number from the bow and another number from the arrow. Then, they added up the numbers and if the answer was correct, they could win points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When students have the opportunity to touch, manipulate, and interact with tangible materials, mathematical concepts cease to be mere equations on a page and become vivid, engaging experiences. These activities not only make Maths more accessible, but also instil a sense of curiosity and exploration. They pave the way for a deeper understanding of mathematical principles that will serve as a strong foundation for a lifetime of numerical literacy.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-exad-particle-enable=\"false\"
