Imagining dots – part 1

Draw some other ways to see the dots.
Michael saw chunks of 6 and Penny saw chunks of 4 when they looked at the dots. Do you see any other chunks hidden in the dots?
Ask someone else to describe how they saw the dots. Draw a picture of their way of seeing the dots.
Try drawing a different collection of dots. Show them to someone and see if they can close their eyes and imagine the dots.
Array bingo
Let's play bingo!
Watch the video to learn how to play.
You will need:
a set of array cards
(PDF file, 808 KB)someone to play with.
Hint! The instructions are also below if you need them.
Array bingo
Duration: 8:07
Getting started
Each player creates a gameboard using 6 array cards.
Set aside the remaining array cards.
Place the descriptor cards in a pile, face down.
Matching arrays
Turn over a descriptor card. If a player has the matching array card on their gameboard, they may turn the array card over.
If both players have the matching array card, they can both turn over their cards.
If neither player has the matching array card, turn over the next descriptor card in the pile.
Making a match
Players can use the commutative property to rotate the arrays, so they can make a match.
For example, they could take an array that was structured as 3 twos and rotate it to show 2 threes.
How to win
The winner is the first player to turn over all their cards and say ‘bingo!’
Another way to play:
You can swap the piles of cards used in the game. Make a gameboard using the descriptor cards and turn over the array cards instead!
Reflection:
What arrays did you rotate to make a match?
Did rotating the arrays change the total number of dots? Why/Why not?
What strategies did you use to determine how many dots there are in the arrays?
Were there any arrays where you knew how many dots there were? Which ones?
Geography
You will need:
Different places and environments
Let's explore how and why we need to look after the different places and environments we live in. Let's also learn about how spaces within a place can be used for different purposes.
Watch the video and join in the activity.
You will need:
a pencil
your workbook.
For each of the places or environments in the video, think about:
How can we look after it?
Why do we need to look after it?
What would happen if we didn't look after it?
How can spaces within this place be used for different purposes?
Hint! The pictures are also below in case you need them.
