Let's try new things

WELCOME TO RECURSILANDIA FOR ANOTHER DAY! Today I bring you something a bit different as I bring you a material of a methodology, do you know the Montessori methodology? I'm sure you do, so here we go!

The Montessori geometric set includes different sets of pieces to introduce students to the geometric plane shapes but still, it has many uses, I leave here below the picture so that you can better understand what I mean. 

One of the uses of this set is to work on secant and parallel lines from a very young age. And how? Well, with a story! This story is about a doll (in this case, "Pumpkin"), who goes in search of another doll (in this case " Pink meringue). If the two of them follow the same path along two parallel lines, the two dolls will never meet! 

However, if we place the straight lines as secant lines, the two dolls will meet and will be able to hug each other! 


Did you like this idea? It is very easy to do and as you can see, it is very simple to do dynamic activities with these materials, and you know... the recursilandia blog gives you the resources and you... You give life to those resources! 😉

What are the Hama Beads?

Good morning internauts teachers! Today I bring you a very special resource that maybe you don't know in depth or you have seen but you have never stopped to think about the multiple educational uses for geometry! This resource is called Hama Beads... and you will say, but what is it??? They are small pieces of plastic that can form figures of all kinds. They have many sizes and colors. Although the use of Hama Beads has been famous recently, they were created half a century ago. Its creator was Malte Haaning, a businessman familiar with plastic who, due to a demand received, began to manufacture the Hama Beads in 1971. In 1984 the Hama brand was registered as a trademark and from that moment on, it has been one of the favorite hobbies of boys and girls in their spare time. In addition, there are several types HAMA MAXI  HAMA MIDI HAMA MINI With this resource we work on the development of fine motor skills, mathematical skills, geometric figure recognition, creativity, express...

Pattern Blocks

Hello again! I hope everything is going great! In this post, I bring you, as you can imagine... A NEW RESOURCE! And I throw this question to you... What better way to work on geometry than seeing, touching and experimenting with the figures as a whole? A resource that allows this way of working are the so-called pattern blocks. The pattern blocks are about 250 pieces of plastic or recycled wood with the following geometric figures:  - Regular hexagons yellow - Red isosceles trapezoids - Blue rhombuses - Green equilateral triangles - Cream-coloured rhombuses - Orange squares  As these pieces are related to each other, it is possible to work on the equivalence of areas or even, fractions. In addition, you can create mosaics, mandalas, geometric drawings following a pattern (which we recommend the book edx education: Pattern Block Cards ). With the help of these patterns, the student will internalise geometrical aspects such as, for example, the side of polygons, angles, the conc...

A plane can be a geoplane?!?!!

Hello everyone!!! We are at the halfway point of Recursilandia! Today I bring you a didactic proposal as always... to work on geometry! In addition, with this resource you can introduce geometric concepts and at the same time, review them.  I am talking about... GEOPLANE! This resource is made of wood or other resistant material and it is very old, it dates back to 1960 and it was created by the Egyptian mathematician Caleb Gattegno, because this mathematician was looking for a new method to teach geometry in a more manipulative way... Caleb would have been a perfect fan of Recursilandia! Before going into the types of geoplanes, I'll show you a picture so you know what they are about. Moreover, there is not only one geoplan... There are several! For you to understand it better and in a more visual way, I leave here a video of our partner Malena. What use can we give to the geoplane? For example, we can form different geometric figures using the rubber bands and following a templat...
