This lessons explores the use of Cuisenaire rods and uses play to introduce them to students.

• TLF-IDA004343

This lesson helps students explore different shape transformations and describe symmetry in objects and images.

• TLF-IDA004299

The focus of this activity is to find out what students know about addition of decimals and what are some of the different strategies students are able to use and explain. Do students prefer to use equations or do students rely more on empty number lines?

• TLF-IDA004297

This activity is designed to encourage students to develop and explain different strategies to solve subtraction problems.

• TLF-IDA004312

This activity uses pattern blocks to explore patterns and the relationship between numbers. Students use the blocks to create and describe other shapes and since the blocks are relational they can be used for other investigations. For example, turn the blocks into units – if the triangle is one what is the value of the hexagon?

• TLF-IDA004342

This lesson focuses on different ways to tell time.

• TLF-IDA004275

The focus of this activity is to encourage and support students to describe two dimensional shapes and three dimensional objects according to their features or properties.

• TLF-IDA004283

This game gives students opportunities to practice subtraction skills and to learn subtraction strategies, including the jump strategy, the split (or partition) strategy, compensation and the count-up to strategy (sometimes called the Shopkeeper’s method).
