Math lesson #6 for the 5-7-year-old group, Oct 2017
This lesson introduced some new concepts and built on the previously learned ones.
Passing the maze by counting from 1 to 24:
Adding column and row numbers in a table; numerals and quantities.
Matching patterns:
We started working with sorting materials invented by Zoltán Pál Dienes, a Hungarian mathematician. These blocks are different from each other in color, shape, thickness and size.
First we sorted them by two features - shape and colour. For this we used overlapping sets - "Euler circles":
Then we sorted the shapes according to three features using three overlapping circles. The kids did very well!
2D and 3D geometry: sticks and Magnetix
