A variety of interesting things in one place.
Unit length, area, volume (Slovakia)Sometimes it happens that pupils mainly from lower classes in math problems can not be correct unit.
We have prepared therefore models length, area, and volume and fun way we show individual spaces. Models built pupils themselves. The question was: How many people can fit into 1 meter, to 1 meter square and up to 1 cubic meter. Pupils are aware of individual differences and have fun while. Short , fun and for 12 year olds pupils instructive activity. (BellAmos) You can watch video.

Health and Mathematics (Slovakia)In math class we made measurements. Students can measure your height and weight. Then we have the values used formula to calculate BMI - body mass index.Weight / height in meter2.
Then we went to the internet to check our calculations and see what our results mean for our health. Then we talked about the lifestyle. The students talked about their diet, foods, the sport and lifestyle, talking their views and many pupils me their attitudes pleasantly surprised. Their views on lifestyle, to eating and sport were reasonable. Some students after these discussions realized that they should be more on sports and even some eating habits to change. When BMI was released by the child's weight is higher, the internet was the recommendation to refer to the doctor practitioner, who would determine whether there is a higher weight due to a disease . Any weight loss should be supervised by a specialist. In this regard, I turned in our town Martin on Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin, Institute of Physiology, where I proposed to them cooperation in this area. Their acceptance was nice and had an interest in cooperating on a clinical study. Students and their parents, who were interested, I made contact at the workplace so they can participate in establishing the health status of their child. I believe that this work should be meaningful and have helped students realize their health and think about healthy lifestyles and here students can see how math help. Mária Debnárová |
Equality of areas; Area of parallelogram; Area of rhombus (Čačak, Serbia)From the earlier grades students knew the formulas for calculating the areas of squares and rectangles. One of the groups proved that we can easily transform square for example into some other geometric figure with the same surface. Second group transformed a rectangle into a parallelogram and came up with the formulas for the surface of parallelogram. Third group transformed a rectangles into a rhombus and received both formulas for calculating a surface of rhombus. |
