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.

Welcome to a new blog entry! Today we start an exciting journey through the world of geometric shapes. This blog is dedicated to all teachers who want new techniques and dynamics to teach geometry in an effective and interesting way. Get ready to learn how to turn your class into an unforgettable experience. I'm Marina, and this is my blog. Currently studying for a double degree in English Studies and Education Primary, my objective is to make learning geometry easy and enjoyable for students. As a future teacher, I believe that geometry is an essential part of a child's educational journey. It helps them develop spatial awareness, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking. However, I also know that many students struggle to understand and appreciate the beauty of geometry. That's why I'm here. I want to share my passion for geometry with you and provide you with innovative and engaging ways to teach this subject to your students. In this blog, you'll find a var...

Hi everyone! Today we are going to explain how to teach geometry for primary school students.  Geometry is a fundamental part of mathematics that acquaints primary school students with shapes, spatial relationships, and problem-solving. Teaching geometry successfully in the primary classroom can be rewarding through innovative and strategic methods. Here are several engaging techniques and useful resources to improve geometry instruction for young learners: Some activities to explore geometric concepts can be using manipulative resources such as pattern blocks, tangrams or geoboard as visualisation can be much easier to understand. On the other hand, technology can be very useful as it helps students to learn through games or interesting programmes.  Using real connections can also be very beneficial since, as we have seen throughout the blog, geometry is present in our daily lives. It can be very useful to explain concepts using real life examples.  Many teachers ar...

Hi everyone! Let's talk a bit about how geometry is integrated into architecture.  Geometry and architecture have been intricately linked throughout history, producing awe-inspiring structures that engage our imagination and senses. This entry delves into the captivating realm where geometry merges with architecture, highlighting how form and function coexist harmoniously. It is very important architecture because it guides the development of designs that are structurally robust, visually appealing, and functionally effective. Since ancient times, architects have utilized geometric principles to create timeless and iconic buildings. Some Examples of Geometry in Architecture: Sacred Geometry in Gothic Cathedrals : Gothic cathedrals, such as Notre Dame in Paris, demonstrate a profound connection with sacred geometry. Proportions like the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence are employed to craft magnificent and harmonious spaces. Symmetry in Classical Architecture : Classical stru...
