ABSTRACT
This guide is a collection of ideas for mathematics
activities which were assembled and tested by primary teachers. Activities
are correlated to a mathematics curriculum for ages 7-9 years. The activities
supplement the teaching of basic numeracy and include topics such as the
language of mathematics, matching numbers, tracing the numbers, number bonds,
number rhymes, number patterns, measurement, weight, money, shapes, and time.
Each section of the core curriculum outline is accompanied by one or more
activities. Worksheets for each activity are also provided.
