Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Measuring Poster serves as a visual reference that encourages children to engage in play-based exploration of measurement concepts. By incorporating the poster into various learning activities, educators can facilitate discussions and inquiries about size, length, and weight, allowing children to make connections between abstract ideas and their everyday experiences.
Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product supports the development of early STEM skills by introducing children to fundamental measurement concepts in a relatable manner. Through hands-on activities that involve comparing lengths and weights, children can practice problem-solving as they explore and apply these concepts in real-world contexts.
Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners.
