STORIES PART CONSTRUCTION
Our Learning Units is intended for children fifth grade, his goal is to highlight the geometric shapes.
Starting from the reading of the story "Little Spot bored" to Children are introduced geometric shapes (rectangle, triangle, square ...), then the child by the performance of simple geometric problems with the computer (the program QQ.storie) comes to the construction of the game of tangram through which can create new shapes using the his imagination and then find the measurements of the same figures he created. In this way, the child connects the knowledge learned from lectures on geometric figures to know how to make traditional means of interactive exercises with the computer and the tangram.
SCHEMA LEARNING UNIT:
Title: "Playing with geometric shapes"
Recipients: a class of fifth grade
Analysis of the situation
through history the teacher introduces the geometric figures and their characteristics
Objectives:
or explore models of geometric figures; build the main draw geometric figures explored
Ø Analysis of the significant elements (sides, angles , ...) of the main plane geometrical figures
Ø Identify symmetries in objects or figures given, highlighting the features.
or recognize shapes rotation or translation of figures assigned.
or operate concretely with figures performing transformations assigned.
or measure lengths.
in simple cases or determine perimeter, area and volume geometric figures known
Educational Activities planned
- Task 1: Description
Reading the story "Little Spot bored"
Introduction of geometric shapes (rectangle, triangle, square ...)
QQ.storie
processed through the program offers interactive exercises of QQ.Storie
Activity-3: Description
Tangram offers practical exercises through the construction of Tangram Tangram
Playing with the process of geometric problems
Tools:
teaching materials
program QQ.Storie
tangram
Method:
lessons lectures, and interactive through the use of specific instruments such as the tangram and tools (QQ.storie).
assessment method and assessment:
- ongoing: every lesson the children are asked to summarize what has been done once before. The teacher carefully observes children and tries to speak in the debate even the most timid, in order to verify the knowledge of each child.
Here are the next twelve convex polygons that can be composed with the seven pieces of the game. It 's a game that promotes concentration and is a great mathematical exercise, to understand the figures and space.
