Shape Rockets - PowerPoint

The "Shape Rockets" PowerPoint is a collection of maths teaching resources designed for Year 1 students to help them understand number and place value, as well as the concepts of multiplication and division. The educational materials include a variety of worksheets that encourage children to practice sharing quantities equally. For instance, one worksheet prompts students to divide strawberries, oranges, pears, and bananas between plates and then complete sentences that describe how the fruits have been shared. This practical approach to learning helps students to grasp the idea of division and equal distribution in a visual and engaging manner.

Additional worksheets are provided for interactive activities, such as sharing frogs between lily pads and fish between fish bowls, with cutouts available to enhance the hands-on experience. The exercises are structured to reinforce the students' ability to divide numbers equally and understand the concept of sharing. For example, one worksheet asks pupils to share 10 frogs between 2 lily pads, 5 lily pads, and 10 lily pads, with the answers being 5, 2, and 1 frog respectively. Similarly, sharing 20 fish between 2, 5, and 10 fish bowls results in 10, 4, and 2 fish per bowl. These carefully designed activities not only teach mathematical skills but also encourage children to think critically and solve problems effectively.
