Let’s understand the idea.
- We can describe a ball as shaped like a sphere and a box as shaped like a cube.
- Position words compare one object with another: above, below, beside, in front of, or behind.
- Move the ball and describe its new position relative to the box.
Something to notice
Ask the learner to describe the shapes and positions of familiar objects in their room. Check above/below/beside and front/behind in real space.
Try it. Change it. Explain it.
Open the lesson to use its pictures and controls. In How it works, connect the picture to the idea. In Play & discover, change the quantities and notice what stays the same. In Your turn, answer questions and use the explanation to check your reasoning.
You can ask for help, draw on the thinking pad, or listen to the question and answer options. Progress distinguishes independent work from work completed with help.
