The 14 games of Jaguar Plateau
2 and 3 year olds
To get started: few options, big pictures and the teacher’s voice.
4 and 5 year olds
More pieces that look alike, asking for attention and memory.
- 2
How many groups?
The jaguar wants to store its food in equal little piles. Draw a circle around the things with your finger to lasso each group. Then count how many groups you made.
- 3
Count the jumps
Pull the jaguar back and let go: it jumps forward. Count the stones it will jump, without counting the stone it's on.
- 4
Build with the pieces
With the same pieces you can make a house, an animal and a boat! Drag each piece to its place and turn it until it fits.
- 5
Farther or closer?
Mama jaguar already jumped and is waiting on a stone. Now it's the cub's turn: jump farther, closer or right next to her.
5 and 6 year olds
Bigger challenges and the party that reviews everything the child learned.
- 6
Equal jumps
The jaguar always jumps the same size: by twos, by threes, by fives. Make all the jumps the same until you get there, then count how many there were.
- 7
Seven pieces
The tangram has seven pieces: two big triangles, one medium, two small, one square and one parallelogram. Use them all to build each shape. At the end, the shadow won't show the lines anymore!
- 8
Jaguar eye
The jaguar takes one look and already knows about how many things there are. First say how many you think there are, without counting. Then lasso groups of ten to check.
- 9
Jumps backward
Now the jaguar goes back! Pull the other way and let go to make it jump backward. Jumping backward is taking away: find out where it lands.
- 10
Hidden shapes
Smaller shapes hide inside each big shape. Pick the right pieces, because one is left over, and cover the whole shadow.
- 11
Which pile has more?
Two piles, one on each side. First guess which has more, without counting. Then lasso one from each side together, until you can't anymore: what's left over shows which has more.
- 12
Plateau party
Region party
The jaguar called all the animals to the party at the top of the plateau! Let's remember the pieces, the groups and the jumps.
- 13
Party tangram
Region party
At the plateau party, the pieces become decorations. Build each shape in the shadow, with and without the lines.
- 14
Party jump
Region party
At the party, the jaguar does all the plateau jumps: forward, backward, close to mama and in equal sizes.
