My students love to SUBITIZE. Subitizing is like quick images. It is simply the ability to quickly identify the number of objects in a set without counting. Perceptual Subitizing is the instant visual recognition of a pattern such as numbers in a ten frame. Conceptual Subitizing involves recognizing smaller groups and adding them together, for example “I see five dots on the top row and 4 dots on the bottom row. So, that is 5+4 =9. I'll show my students a dot card, ten frame, a domino, etc. for about three seconds because I don't want my kids to count the dots. Then I ask them what did they see. My kiddos come up with answers like "I saw 6 dots, I saw 4 dots on the top and 2 dots on the bottom, I know 4 and 2 is 6, I saw 3 groups of 2, I saw 2+2+1+1, I saw 4 missing, 10-4=6. 2 x 3=6." Yes, even some of my 1st graders are multiplying using this technique. It's amazing how their number sense has improved tremendously. Here are some of the different Subitizing cards that I use in my classroom. If you want to try Subitizing you can pick up this resource here. Thank you for visiting and have a fantastic week!

Visual Spatial Relations Age Group : 6+ Laid out in a colourful and easy-to-use format, it is addressed to special education needs teachers, occupational therapists, logopedists, parents and schoolteachers who aim to support their children in developing and strengthening their skills. It introduces a set of games and activities that build and enhance visual perceptual skills in an enjoyable and interactive way! Visual spatial awareness denotes the ability to understand spatial concepts and directions, necessary for interacting with the outside world. It also involves processing outside information and reasoning with it through visual representation in the mind. Along with quantitative and verbal ability, it plays a key role in developing expertise in learning and work settings as well as in determining orientation, laterality and directionality. People with visuospatial deficits have poor performance in sports and suffer from coordination and balance problems. They can also find it difficult to perform rhythmic activities. Furthermore, they are clumsy and tend to reverse forms and letters / syllables, including “o” and”8” or “ma” and am”. The book includes, inter alia: 135 worksheets; activities aiming at detecting elements with or without a point of reference; activities aiming at detecting letters in several types of grids and tables; activities aiming at finding the appropriate boxes for two-syllable and three-syllable words; activities requiring learners to follow their teacher’s instructions and draw letters and numbers inside squares, as well as interactive games and activities. Visual perceptual skills influence several aspects of children’s development and everyday life, ranging from (mixed) motor skills to essential life aptitudes.
They can be scary from their movie stardom to their sharp teeth and bad reputation...sharks are like the big bad wolves of the ocean! However, their reputation shouldn't really be as bad as they are portrayed! Only 100 people each year are attacked by sharks and only 25 out of the 368 species of sharks actually attack people. To get to know sharks better, my students who live far from any ocean celebrated a bit of a shark week sensation! We started off with a great EPIC book connection, Sharks! by Ilene Tremble which helped us develop background knowledge. We proceeded to learn even more about sharks by creating a lapbook that had us researching habitats, food chains, and characteristics for survival. These are all part of the NGSS standards that are woven throughout elementary school! Once they were finished with their lapbook, the students had an opportunity to create one of the sharks they learned about. It had to have the same features that the real, researched shark had and needed to be able to float in a bucket of water. These were some constraints that they had to follow. For the last STEM sensation the students worked in teams to be able to build a shark cage that allowed a person (plastic figure) to be submerged in a shark (fish) tank...equip with our very own sharks (plastic)! This activity surely stumped my higher level thinkers, because it had to sink in the water, but it had to be made out of something water proof! Some issues that came up was that fact that many designs tipped over when placed under the water. Some of the cages didn't allow for the diver to even see the sharks swimming in the water! Here is a cage that tipped over on its side. The shark is getting a bit close for comfort! Want to celebrate your own shark week?

Hello art educators/teachers/students, I am back to brief you about Design Paper, Art & Design IGCSE 0400 with some samples from my students. _____ Please take note that our school are taking Art & Design IGCSE 0400 for November Series. For our mock exam, I will use the June Series exam questions to prepare my students for the upcoming exams. Above questions were taken from June Series 2016 Examination Referring to the questions above, I worked with my students on selecting the best question for them to do for the mock exam. Please take note (!) Design question requires you to choose what type of product you want to work with and to 'present' from your idea development progress and towards your final piece. You have to use your FIRST-HAND STUDIES when it stated in the question requirement and always encourage your students to expand the research, gathered their pictures, snap the photos, printed out as preparation work references. The truth about the whole set of preparation works and the final piece, I 'DESIGN' MY LAYOUT AND ALL THE SEQUENCES ARE NOT COMING FROM THE CIE OR IGCSE, as a teacher, I think what is the best to meet what the question wants and guide my students towards the aim of each question. As far as my experiences goes, my layout of helping them shows results. Good results. All the results, at the end of the day, based on each of the student ability and capability in presenting their preparation works and final piece. I do a lot of analysis too. Will talk about how to do analysis in next post. _____ I am going to use Reanne, Tian Huey and Yi Ruth art samples to explain further about the progress. Reanne chose question number 4 and spent the time to expand her research about the healthy eating and food. Her idea, at the end of the progress, she is preparing a campaign poster as what the question wants - Grow Cook Eat. (click the picture for a better view) In this prep 1, I always emphasise the important of introduction and the students should write in brief why the choose the question, what is the aim of the whole preparation work and what is their expectation at the end of the final piece. The students will attach some research material in the form of designer's work that inspired them to do the design or any product (as for above - poster) that given them some interesting idea to work with their ideas later on. (click the picture for a better view) These are the details of the First-Hand Studies materials and the drawing/painting of the subject matters ( I think ) should show in first preparation work. LOVE the outcomes by her. (click the picture for a better view) Above shows the close-up of a poster sample, taken from the internet that giving Reanne the inspiration for her upcoming idea development. She used a variety of media to do details on it. E.g, water colour, gel pen, pencil, etc. Reminder (!) Annotation is still important in Design paper as well. Encourage your students to annotate all the process/progress/decision/selection - basically, journal the progress. (click the picture for a better view) Going back to Reanne's Prep 2 - For a poster or front cover book or any printed product, I will encourage my students to study about the font types, the layout templates. From this prep, you can see that Reanne came out with the different type of fonts as well as putting some background and pattern to some of the fonts. She managed to arrange well with the font studies, templates and some studies with the images in it. It is supposed to be a 'technical' studies. (click the picture for a better view) (click the picture for a better view) For the preparation 3 and 4, the students need to combine all the elements they did in prep 1 and 2. The students need to combine the font studies + layout + in co-operate with the subject matter (first -hand studies) You can see, the design paper is very direct and focus. At this prep 3 and 4, encourage your students to re-arrange the idea and emphasise the idea development with an interesting composition, proportion and colour choices. In between the process, we as a teacher, we have to give some design input/knowledge/exposure to help them to learn how to improvise idea from the research and the subject matters. (click the picture for a better view) Reanne's final piece ( 8 hours controlled-test ) _____________________________________ To be continued. (with Yi Ruth and Tian Huey design work) DO LET ME KNOW IF THE SHARING HELP YOU IN ANYWAY! WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU. YOU CAN FEEDBACK AT COMMENT BOX OR EMAIL ME AT [email protected]
