Map SkillsThis is the activity we did in school today. It was a bit difficult for everyone. Maneuvering the objects was challenging as well as remembering how to decide if something is North, South, East or West. Shh! We've added another fun download - it's "Get Captain Hook to his treasure!" The student's haven't played it yet, but I wanted to test it out.

Directional Math Words Interactive PowerPoint
Complex Patterning Interactive PowerPoint
Directional Math WordsPowerPointTo give these activities a whirl just click on the "Download File" link to the right.
The Directional Math Word PowerPoint is a great math, reading and mouse control activity! The Complex Patterning PowerPoint is harder than you'd think . . . Extra Credit if you do these activities at home this month - Post a comment, email us or print a copy when you're done.
Just let me know if you tried but don't have PowerPoint at home. Click to email Mrs. G |
I hope you enjoy these activities I created - the children really enjoyed demonstrating their skills! They also like the "surprise" on the last slide of the Directional Words activity. The Patterning activity is also a little different than the one we did in class. - Mrs. G
