EXPLORING ENTERTAINING GAMES FOR TEACHING GEOMETRY

Hello to all of you! Today I bring you an interesting post about possible games that we can play with our students to learn geometry.

Many times teaching geometry can be a big challenge as it is a very complicated part of mathematics but if we teach it through interactive and creative games it can be very entertaining. Some of the games we could play are the following:

Constructions with geometric figures. For this game, We have to provide the pupils with geometric figures of different sizes and colours. We will start by asking them to create figures from the simplest to the most complex. This can be beneficial for them to experiment with the composition of shapes and to see how they relate to each other. 

Another fun game can be the shape hunt where pupils have to find objects with different geometric shapes provided to them, such as circles, squares, triangles, etc. This encourages pupils to be attentive to their surroundings and to observe and identify them appropriately.

To conclude, a very interesting game can be identifying geometric figures. With coloured paper we will make different shapes such as rhombuses, circles, rectangles, triangles, etc.

We will give a plastic cup to each child and shout "Circle" and the children will have to put the cup on top of the corresponding geometric figure and so on.

Here is a video link showing an example of what the activity would look like.
