G’day, little mathematicians! Today we are going to blend the magical world of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears with some fun mathematical ideas. Are you ready to count, compare sizes, and even explore our weather? Let’s jump in!
First, let’s meet our delightful characters:
Using a set of bear cut-outs, let’s put them in order from smallest to biggest! Can you help Goldilocks find the right sizes?
Now that we know our bears, let’s talk about sizes. How can we describe their porridge bowls?
We have some bowls in the classroom! Let’s put our pretend bowls in order from largest to smallest. Who can help me?
In the story, Goldilocks tries the porridge. Do you remember what she said? Was the porridge too hot, too cold, or just right?
Let’s do some tasting tests! We’ll have three different types of porridge (or something similar). We’ll use our thumbs to show if it's too hot, too cold, or just right!
Next, let’s look at the weather when Goldilocks goes for her adventure. What kind of day do you think it was?
Draw a picture of the weather you think Goldilocks saw. Was it sunny, rainy, or cloudy? Let’s use our drawings to create a classroom weather chart!
Now, let’s think about the sequence of events in the story. Can anyone help me recall what happened first, second, and third?
I have some cards with pictures from the story. Let’s work together to put them in the correct order!
Finally, let’s discuss what Goldilocks learned!
Let’s sit in a circle and share our thoughts about what Goldilocks learned from her experience!
Today we had so much fun with Goldilocks and the 3 Bears while learning about characters, sizes, temperature, weather, story sequencing, and important lessons. Remember, maths is everywhere, and stories make it a joyful experience!
Don't forget to tell your family about our adventure! Until next time, keep exploring, counting, and having fun with maths!
