Funny geometry!

Hello everyone! In this post I bring you a series of activities that are very dynamic and funny to work with primary school students.

With them we can work with different concepts of geometry. In addition, these activities can be adapted depending on the course you are working on. The same exercise can increase the difficulty if we include the calculation of areas for the third cycle, however, the same activity can be used to introduce the geometric figures in the first cycle of primary school. It is a question of creativity!

The first activity I want to share is called “Geoboard”. This is a manipulative activity in which students can create different types of regular and irregular polygons, calculate the area of a figure among other things as I commented previously in another post.  

The next game to work geometry is most commonly known as "Bingo". This game consist on guess several polygons according to some descriptions that the teacher gives to the students. According to these description the student of group of students have to be able discover what is the figure that the teacher is talking about. It can be used rather than polygons, with formulas of the areas which are more difficult to learn. 

Lastly, I want to focus on an interesting game that surely our students will pass a great time! This is called “I am Poly Gon”. This is a figure of different polygons in which students have to recognise the present figures or they also can calculate the perimeter and the area as well.
