PP1 Curriculum Design: sub strand 3.1 Sides of Objects
Specific Learning Outcomes
By the end of the sub-strand, the learner should be able to:
- identify different sides of objects in the environment
- differentiate sides of objects
- play with objects with different sides
- enjoy measuring sides of objects using arbitrary units such as hand, feet etc.
Suggested Learning Experiences
- Guide learners to talk about different sides of objects in the environment
- Guide learners to compare objects with different sides
- Few learners demonstrate comparison of objects with different sides
- In groups or pairs, individually, learners measure sides of objects using arbitrary units (hand, foot, sticks).
- Learners watch a video clip on measuring sides of objects using arbitrary units
Key Inquiry Questions
- Which of these sides is longer/ shorter?
- What is the difference between this side and this one?
- Why is this side different?
- How will you tell which side is longer or shorter?
- What can you say about this side?
Core competencies:
• Learning to learn when measuring sides of objects
• Communication and collaboration.
Link to PCIs:
- Citizenship: collaboration as they collect and identify sides • Life skills: critical thinking as they differentiate sides of objects
- Values: sharing and turn taking.
Link to other activity areas:
• Language as they learn vocabularies such as long and short
Link to other activity areas:
• Language as they learn vocabularies such as long and short
Suggested learning resources: Sticks, strings, body parts, objects in the class
