Didactic resources for your geometry class!

Hi everyone J Today, I am going to talk about didactic materials that we can use in our geometric class in Primary School.

It is extremely interesting to see the variety of materials and resources that we can use in our class. It is paradoxical the fact that many teachers do not real figures use in geometry class, even knowing that geometry is everywhere. Therefore, I would like to propose some materials that can be perfectly used with our Primary School students to make classes more practical and fun.

One interesting material that we can use is the Cuisenaire rods because children can build their own geometrical figures. Moreover, they can calculate the area and the perimeter depending on the colour of the rods that they use.

Another resource that can be really appealing for children is the Tangram. Through this didactic tool, children can also build their own figures and learn by doing.

Finally, the last didactic material that I would like to underline is the “geoplano”, in which students can also make their own figures. This tool gives us a lot of possibilities because we can create similar figures (with the same proportions) or we can make rigid transformations to different figures (such as rotations or translations).

All in all, all these materials are really appealing for children and they acquire a meaningful knowledge because they learn by doing. So I recommend all of them!
