Math Games

Shapes & Spatial Understanding
• Develops and uses vocabulary of spatial relationship (Top, Bottom, On, Under, Inside, Outside, Above, Below, Near, Far, Before, After)

SOLIDS AROUND US
• Collects objects from the surroundings having different sizes and shapes like pebbles, boxes, balls, cones, pipes, etc.
• Sorts, Classifies and describes the objects on the basis of shapes, and other observable properties.
• Observes and describes the way shapes affect movements like rolling and sliding.
• Sorts 2 - D shapes such as flat objects made of card etc

Collects, represents and interprets simple data such as measuring the arm length or circumference of the head using a paper strip.

Identifies common currency notes and coins.

Puts together small amounts of money.

Developing a Sense of Numberness, Counting and Operations of Numbers 1 - 9 and Zero
• Observes object and makes collections of objects.
• Arranges the collection of objects in order by
- Matching and
- One to one correspondence
• Counts the number of objects in a collection.
• Makes collection of objects corresponding to a specific number.
• Recognises and speaks numbers from 1 to 9.
• Uses numbers from 1 to 9 in counting and comparison. (Real objects and repeated events like clapping to be used for counting)
• Reads and writes numerals from 1 to 9.
• Adds and subtracts using real objects and pictures.
• Adds and subtracts the numbers using symbols '+' and '-'.
• Approaches zero through the subtraction pattern (such as 3 – 1 = 2, 3 – 2 = 1, 3 – 3 = 0).

Numbers From (10 - 20)
• Forms Number sequence from 10 to 20.
• Counts objects using these numbers.
• Groups objects into a group of 10s and single objects.
• Develops the vocabulary of group of 'tens' and 'ones'.
• Shows the group of tens and ones by drawing.
• Counts the number of tens and ones in a given number.
• Writes the numerals for eleven to nineteen.
• Writes numerals for ten and twenty.
• Compares numbers upto 20.

Addition and Subtraction (up to 20)
• Adds and subtracts numbers up to 20.

Numbers from 21 - 99
• Writes numerals for Twenty-one to Ninety nine. Groups objects into tens and ones.
• Draws representation for groups of ten and ones.
• Groups a number orally into tens and ones.

Mental arithmetic
• Adds two single digit numbers mentally.

Length
• Distinguishes between near, far, thin, thick, longer/taller, shorter, high, low.
• Seriates objects by comparing their length.
• Measures short lengths in terms of non-uniform units (in the context of games e.g. 'Gilli Danda' and 'marblegames').
• Estimates distance and length, and verifies using nonuniform units (e.g. hand span etc.)

Weight
• Compares between heavy and light objects.

Time
• Distinguishes between events occurring in time using terms - earlier and later.
• Gets the qualitative feel of long & short duration, of school days v/s holidays.
• Narrates the sequence of events in a day.

Describes sequences of simple patterns found in shapes in the surroundings and in numbers, e.g. stamping activity using fingers and thumb.

Completes a given sequence of simple patterns found in shapes in the surroundings and in numbers.
