    This document provides suggestions for using a ramp building activity to support a child's math development. It recommends inviting the child to build a ramp for their vehicle using real objects as a guide. The child can plan the ramp by discussing what materials are needed, what the ramp should do, and estimating its length and height. Then they can measure, build, test and modify the ramp, having discussions around changing elements like the angle to see what would happen. Measuring tapes can be used but comparing objects is also encouraged to explore relative sizes.

    Vehicles!

    Can I support their Math Development?

    “What materials
    might we need to
    INVITE YOUR CHILD TO BUILD make a ramp?”
    1 A RAMP FOR THEIR VEHICLE. ONLY USE A
    STORE-BOUGHT RAMP AS A GUIDE
    “What should the ramp
    do? Get the vehicle over
    something? Increase
    vehicle speed?
    Something else?
    “How long do you think it
    has to be?
    “How high do you think
    it should go?”
    Use a combination of
    short/long objects,
    blocks, and a measuring
    tape to explore the size
    PLAN, MEASURE, BUILD 2
    Model how you start
    measuring by aligning
    the beginning of the
    objects together “It didn’t make it over the
    gap. What could we do?”

    “It still seemed slow.


    What could we change?”
    3 TEST, WONDER, EDIT…REPEAT “What do you think
    would happen if we
    changed the angle?”
    “I wonder how we could
    make it longer, shorter?”

    Math Measuring
    Tip tapes are great, but no need to rush
    into using them. Explore how objects compare to
    one another. Notice with your child, for example, how
    an object can be six short blocks tall…but also two
    long blocks tall?! How is that possible?
