Bubbles are round? When we blow bubbles ...yes they are round but look at these! A bit of a messy activity but it really shows up the difference between the shape of single bubbles and bubbles crowded together. Try and help your child to reason out why this is. In a classroom situation it’s fun to look at one child then a group of children all squashed together. Or try doing the same with dolls. A doll dressed in a tutu works really well. Then children can see how the shape changes and can reason why this is. This also leads on to lots more learning: How do the bubbles hold their shape? What’s inside a bubble? Why do they pop? Geometrical shapes - how many sides do the squashed bubbles have? What’s the most common number of sides? Look at how they fit perfectly together ....tessellations. Cut out some similar shapes and make a collage. The extension ideas are endless! #bubbles #shapesandspaces #tesselation #primarymaths #preschoolnumbers #numberfun #numberactivities #teachnumbers #mathsthroughart #artmaths #artnumber #artscience #sensoryplay #homeschoolactivity #homeschoolactivity @motherandbaby @babyandtoddlermag @primaryeducation @primarypress @numbermag #numberfun #learninggames #learningforkids #learningvideos #numberlearning #numbersarefun #learningathome
