GAME “GEOMETRIC FIGURES IN EVERYDAY LIFE”

GEOMETRIC SHAPE LEARNING GAME "TOPOLOGY" 

THE SET INCLUDES:

- 14 geometric figures of foam (7,5 cm high):

2 red cubes, 2 quadrangular red pyramids, 2 rectangular red prisms, 2 blue cylinders, 2 triangular blue prisms, 2 yellow cones and 2 yellow spheres.

- 15 wooden rods (15 cm long)

- 25 reversible cards /50 model-photographs (13,5 x 19,5 cm)

- 2  card holders

- 2  opaque bags

- 1 photocopiable card with the outline of the geometric shapes.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE:

This material encourages the development of logical - mathematical thinking and spatial structuration by means of handling activities and reproducing the model-photographs.

Numerous objectives can be achieved by using this material:

- Establishing a relationship between the two-dimensional example and the real three-dimensional space.

- Developing the perception of regions and limits in space.

- Facilitating the learning of spatial concepts: inside-outside, interior-exterior, in front-behind, on top-underneath, near-far, together-separate, one side - the other side, left-right, around, between, in the middle, etc.

- Encouraging initiation of spatial relationships between objects: proximity-distance, horizontal symmetry, vertical symmetry, etc.

- Knowledge of particular properties of the objects or figures in terms of their: shape (square, triangular, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal), size (large, small), volume (cube, prism, pyramid, sphere, cylinder, cone), colour (red, blue, yellow, green), surface and line (open, closed).

- Undertaking classifications by shape and/or colour.

RECOMMENDED AGE:

from 4 to 8 years.

Supports the following areas of learning:

• Physical Development - motor skills
• Maths - shape & space
• Understanding the World - colour

The game is made of safe, environmentally friendly natural material; the game elements are durable. 

This educational game is very popular among parents and teachers.
