TEACHING GEOMETRY TO STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

-

 Hello to all of you! Today I bring you a post about how we can teach geometry to students with special educational needs. After some research, I have been able to identify a few ways:

1. Using manipulative material. For visually impaired students, it can be very helpful to touch the material with their own hands as they can get an idea of what the figures look like.





2. Explanations based on everyday experiences or examples. We can design explanations that have to do with examples from everyday life to make it much easier for them to understand.





3. Adjust the activities to their level. It is essential that we adapt the activities to the possibilities available to each student, because if they do not reach the level of the students, they will feel frustrated and bored.




4. Use accessible technology. Including programmes adapted for students can be very beneficial as they will be able to use them and they will be able to learn much more quickly and effectively.





5. Tailor assessment to their needs. It is necessary to adapt assessment to the specific needs of each learner. 





Finally, I would like to include the importance of always trying to motivate and encourage them in spite of their difficulties, as these students often come with self-esteem problems due to the comparison with the rest, so we must be an example for them and constantly inspire them to continue to strive for improvement.

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 are also committed to

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
