Unifix cubes	Counting, calculating including ‘more / less than;’ addition, subtraction Comparing size and ordering – ‘bigger / longer, smaller, shorter;’ Sorting, matching according to colour; patterns; copying patterns. Estimating / Measuring length & weight– how many bricks long, tall, wide? How many bricks will balance a pencil, book etc?	Describe how this activity will be conducted using these resources Numbers as Labels and for Counting: Calculating Shape, space and measures: -        Patterns – colors -        Counting -        More and less
Abacus	Counting, calculating including ‘more / less than;’ addition, subtraction Comparing size – ‘bigger / more, smaller, less;’	Numbers as Labels and for Counting Touch counting Calculating: + red beods - White beods Shape, space and measures: Longer & shorter Less & more

TASK 5: Learning styles

	Math	Science	Reading
Auditory	Songs	Musical instrements	Theme story

Kinesthetic	Tracing visual  activities.	Feely different items	Libarary

●      Which learning styles did all the children seem to enjoy and why?

Math beacuse they playing by the cubes and they also learn the colors.

●      Why do you think the teacher incorporates a variety of learning styles for the children?

Because not all children with same ability, some she have to differentiate.

●      Notice which activities are repeated with a variety of learning styles e.g. read a story, listen to a story, act the story, draw the story. Can you find other examples e.g. math or science

Math teacher did the measure in different way for example, teacher gave students cubes to measure the books and the second times gave students ruler to measure it.

●      How can teachers improve student learning by using a range of learning styles?

            Mix different ablities togather.
