Cat Cubes Students in 7 th year, this time used in his class cubes mathematical
Mathematics is the main tool we have told beings human to understand the world around them. Similarly, it would be difficult to think of a technological development from outside of mathematics which are used all the time to meet a wide variety of real-life problems
.
MATHEMATICS OF LIFE.
Between three and four years 'blooms' mathematical understanding. This means that although it is possible that before he knew having a child, is now in understanding that the reason for doing so is how much there is. At this time also are ready to learn skills such as sequencing, compare and solve problems, learn new concepts, measures and figures.
How? The key is to take advantage of activities that are performed daily to present mathematics as something natural. For example, if a child asks how much a dozen, it is best to remove the eggs from the box and count them together. Sure, it will be crystal clear and never forget it A good way to make children think and exercise the important data numbers is teaching "statistical" personal. For example, address, phone number, the day of his birthday, shoe size that fits the size of the clothes you wear.
is also a good idea to have in your piece a height chart to monitor growth every month. With this addition to handling high numbers and terms like playing with comparisons to show how much you've grown or how much higher than his brother.
IN THE GAME
toys can really help children to explore mathematical concepts. As they build with blocks or legos arm, learn geometric concepts, equivalence and symmetry.
are also incredibly effective games invented. For example, to develop estimates, fill a jar with jelly beans and ask how many believe there is. Another fun activity is to ask how often he thinks can clapping in 30 seconds. It is highly likely to say 10 and the result will be much greater, the child will be surprised and therefore will be a lesson to remember.
Tangram.
The tangram puzzle is the original Chinese, not unlike other similar entertainment in the West known character called "Chi Chiao Pan" which means "game of the seven elements" or "table of knowledge." There are several versions about the origin of the word Tangram, one of the most accepted that the word was invented by an Englishman cantons joining the word "tang" which means Chinese with the Latin word "gram" means written or graphic. Another version tells that the origin of the game back to the years 618 to 907 of our era, a time to reign in the Tang Dynasty of China which derived its name. No one knows for sure who invented the game or when, as the first Chinese publications appearing in the game dating back to the eighteenth century, by which time the game was already well known in several countries. In China, the Tangram was very popular and was considered a game for women and children from the eighteenth century, were published in America and Europe several translations of Chinese books which explain the rules of Tangram, the game was called "the puzzle Chinese "and became so popular that children and adults playing the worlds of science and the arts. Napoleon Bonaparte became a specialist in the Tangram since he was exiled on the island of Santa Elena. now you can do with Tangram about 16.000 different figures.
Today, Tangram is not only used as entertainment, is also used in psychology, design, philosophy and particularly in the pedagogy. In the area of \u200b\u200bmathematics education Tangram is used to introduce concepts of plane geometry, and to promote psychomotor development and intellectual capacity of children as a fun way possible to link specific manipulation of materials with the formation of abstract ideas.
