In this episode we’re showing you how a deck of UNO cards can become one of your most versatile teaching tools, especially for measurement! From comparing lengths in Kindergarten to converting units in Year 4, we’re sharing fun, hands-on activities that make maths more meaningful and less worksheet-heavy.
We also take a trip down memory lane with some of our own data lesson experiences (remember those eye colour graphs?) and explore how we can create more memorable and nurturing moments in our maths classrooms today. In this episode, we cover:
- Using UNO cards to compare, tally, and graph in early years
- Engaging measurement games for all grades
- Strategies for teaching unit conversions (litres, grams, millilitres & more)
- Creating data experiences students will actually enjoy
- Ideas for differentiation using UNO cards in measurement lessons
- FREE game templates for busy teachers (see link below)With ideas for every primary year level, including free templates and tips for adapting lessons for mixed-ability groups, this episode will leave you excited to grab your UNO deck and start measuring!
Rainbows ahead,
Alisha and Ashleigh
