Steve, Terror of the Seas – Maths and Numeracy ideas
Measure Steve
Look at the page showing the estimated length of Steve and find classroom or outside objects of a similar size. Use vocabulary to describe these. E.g longer, shorter
Volume and capacity
Look around the classroom and/or the house. Use different containers, jars, pots etc to explore volume and capacity. Fill up some containers with water. Which container has more or less water than another? Can you find the measurements on containers in the house? Look for ML (millilitres) and L (litres)
Patterns
Explore the book and see if you can find some patterns. What makes it a pattern? Look around your house, classroom and outdoors too. What patterns can you identify? Can you create your own pattern using different materials?
Dice Games
