2G3 Identify reflective symmetry in patterns and 2D shapes; draw lines of symmetry
2Nc11 To add and subtract a single digit to and from a two digit number
Activities
– 2D and 3D shapes -We reviewed the names of the shapes and identified their properties in terms of number of faces, edges and corners (vertices). The children had to find objects which represent a 3D shape in their home. We learned some new names of 2D shapes such as pentagon, hexagon, octagon and how some shapes are irregular.
-The children created their own symmetrical patterns on a grid.
-‘Timed test’ – differentiated test. The children had to find the answer to the addition or subtraction sentences within a time limit of 5 minutes

Activities
We did a Show and Tell of battery operated toys. Each child got to explain how their toy works and what it can do. They drew it in their IPC books and wrote a few sentences explaining how it works.
We discussed the following: When the battery is connected to the toy, the energy in the battery is released. We discussed the positive and negative symbols on the battery and show how they must match up the symbols in the toy to the battery. Why do some toys have one battery and others have two or more batteries?
