Bear Squares

Bear Squares are a great teaching resource for a variety of classroom activities.

在测量长度和区域时，在早期数学课程中将它们用作非正式单位。将它们连接到立方体的网上，以使三维形状的课程更加亮，或者在观察可观察的特征时可以在科学课上使用。

Repeating Patterns Activity

Choose 2 or 3 different bears to print and cut out, and use them to recognize, describe and create patterns. Add more types of bears to make more complex patterns.

在课堂上使用内存

需要一个lesson hookto help warm up young minds?

Print and cut out some copies of the Bear Squares and shuffle them together like a set of cards. Spread them out, face down, and have students turn over 2 cards at a time.

如果卡片相同类型的熊,y get to keep them and then choose another two. If the cards don’t match, turn them back over and try to remember where they were in case one of those bears gets turned over somewhere else.

The cards could also be used for a game of ‘Snap’. So versatile!

Recognizing Observable Features in Animals – Science Activity

认识到可观察的特征是整个科学课程中开发的关键科学技能。

The Bear Squares provide great stimulus material for students to list the external features which then leads to rich discussions about how the bears are classified according to those features.

同样，熊正方形可以用来突出虚构和非虚构动物描绘之间的差异。

描述性写作活动

Flowing on from their science applications, the Bear Squares could be used to develop descriptive writing and/or speaking.

Students could be encouraged to use adjectives to describe and differentiate the bears based on their characteristics, either as a written text type or an oral presentation.

别忘了，熊正方形还为学生（或爱好娱乐的老师）带有空白的网格，以创建自己的熊方块！
