Measure Apps

Hi! Today i'm going to show you some apps in which students can work some aspects about the learning of measure in a different way, learning by gaming. This methodology is known as gamification.

1- Geoboard:
A very curious and well developed app to learn geometry from the perspective of Primary and Secondary education. Geoboard provides us with a work table in which, with a series of ropes, we will have to draw certain polygons. This process will help us to calculate areas and lengths, which in turn will help reinforce different concepts of geometry and Mathematics in the school setting. If you want to test it thoroughly you can access the web version and discover its possibilities.

2- Dragón Box Elements :



This APP is from 6 to 9 years old children because it has different levels. This is a strategy video game in which children develop the geometric logic. They create geometric shapes. 
The main objective is to learn the foundations of geometry building an army to defeat with different geometric shapes.





3- Creador de gráficos:

With this app you can create some different types of graphics. It helps you create, design and share your own graphics in a matter of minutes.
This app is very useful for children to avoid doing every graphics by hand as always has been done. For this reason, we could support children with tablets to do it faster and with the possibility to share it with their partner in a simple way.

4- Easy measure:
This app is a simple way to measure distances, you only need to focus the camera to the object that you need to measure. It also has zoom and angles.

You can measure the length of a building, EasyMeasure uses the height of your camera's lens and the angle of inclination to calculate the distance to the object.
This app is perfect to work with all types of children, because it is simple and can be used in some different ways, adapting it to all type of children.

I hope this APPs will be useful for your measure lessons.

Hi all!! Today I have a funny video in which it is explained the concept area. It is very useful for children of the 3rd level in which they are learning about surface and area. It is important to introduce it to children that can read fluently because it doesn't speak, there are only words. But it is explained in a funny way.

Cross the river

Hello mates!! Today I want to share an activity to work with the term 'probability'. To work with equiprobable and non-equiprobable events, we start with the following game whose final objective is to cross a river as shown in figure: Description of the didactic material: The central strip that is observed in Figure 1 represents a river and on each side twelve squares numbered from 1 to 12. For this game it is They need 24 chips and two dice. Instructions and objective of the game: Two players must participate in this game; each of which has 12 chips. Each card must be placed in each of the twelve boxes (one card per box). The first player will throw two dice, add the points obtained in the upper faces of the same and will pass to the other side of the river the chip that is located in the box that has the number that has obtained when making the sum. Then the two dice will be thrown by the second player who must repeat the same process. This should continue until o...

Hi! Two posts before, I showed you an activity to work with statistic. Today I want to show you another one to work with this term. In this case, we are going to work with coins. The objective of the activity is to work on the concept of probability, possible cases and favorable cases in a playful, entertaining way and using manipulative auxiliary material as support. The class is divided into groups of four to six depending on the number of coins we have and the number of students in the class and the tables are organized so that they can work together comfortably. Whiteboards, markers and the same number of coins are distributed to all groups. For example: one for € 2, two for € 1, three for € 0.50, four for € 0.20, five for € 0.10, six for € 0.05, seven for € 0.02 and eight for € 0.05. € 0.01. The teacher asks questions and gives them time to play, investigate, test, discuss and reach a conclusion, then rotate the explanations by group, writing the answer on the b...
