Hands-On Maths Activities for Neurodivergent Year 3 and 4 Students

Explore practical ways to teach mathematical concepts through real-life applications for neurodivergent students in Year 3 and 4.

  1. Supermarket Math: Take Jyemeka on a trip to the supermarket where they can practice addition, subtraction, and money skills by calculating total costs and change.
  2. Measure and Bake: Engage Jyemeka in baking activities where they can learn about measurements, fractions, and ratios while following a recipe to bake cookies or a cake.
  3. Math in the Garden: Introduce math concepts outdoors by measuring plants, counting petals, and calculating areas to help Jyemeka understand geometry and basic arithmetic.
  4. Time Telling with Activities: Teach Jyemeka how to tell time by engaging in time-related activities such as setting timers, planning schedules, and relating time to daily routines.
  5. Math Art Projects: Combine math with art by creating geometric patterns, symmetry drawings, or tessellations to help Jyemeka visualize mathematical concepts in a creative way.
  6. Money Management Game: Develop a game where Jyemeka can earn play money, budget for items, make purchases, and calculate savings to enhance their financial literacy skills.
  7. Math Scavenger Hunt: Organize a scavenger hunt at home or in the park where Jyemeka can solve math problems, find clues, and apply math concepts to solve puzzles and riddles.
  8. Math Story Problems: Create interactive story problems related to Jyemeka's interests or real-life scenarios to make math engaging and relatable while enhancing problem-solving skills.
  9. Building with Blocks: Utilize building blocks or Legos to teach concepts like multiplication, division, patterns, and spatial reasoning as Jyemeka constructs various structures.
  10. Math Outdoor Obstacle Course: Set up an outdoor obstacle course with math challenges like number recognition, counting objects, and solving math problems at each station to make learning interactive and fun.
