The ancestral measurement

Nowadays, learners' attention has changed toward increased use of new technologies, and especially in some ages with the use of platforms as youtube. The use of it in class will catch their attention and curiosity. In youtube, we can find a huge variety of videos by which we can motive our learners and review or introduce them interesting aspects.   One example is the initiative Aula365  which is an EduTainment channel for parents, children and teachers. It teaches and challenges students to different mathematical task in which we can work on the perimeter, area, measurement and capacity among other topics. In the following video, you can watch one of the videos from the channel, so you can see the types of videos we are talking about. The implementation of the huge platform Youtube can lead to multiple uses in schools. For instance, with students of the third cycle, would be a good idea to create their channel in which they will share their kn...

When we design activities to teach something to students, it is necessary to think about their needs, their learning styles, and where they are cognitive. Thus, it will be easier for us to plan the teaching according to them.  Concretely, in the didactic of measurement, will be interesting to remind some aspects affirmed by Piaget.   Although in primary education, most of the children are in the concrete operational stage, we have a small group of students that are in the prior stage. Therefore, it is essential, especially in the first years, to consider and foster activities that foster the development of the conservation capacity of objects and the acquisition of the reversibility principle. As Godino, Batanero, & Roa, (2002), affirm when children have acquired it if they don't go with the flow of their perception. Besides, the planning of activities, in which children have to identify what objects' property changes or not, will allow facilitating their ...

Hi everyone! Nowadays ICTs are an important resource that opens us a wide space of all types of resources and with the advantage of being able to adapt it to each student. Teachers should get a balance and can use it as a tool in class. I want to share with you a webpage called CiberEMAT. It is a platform in which students from first to sixth grade of primary education, can play games of every mathematical content (you will find measurement, quantity and magnitude, etc.) Therefore, we can use it to reinforce the content that we have taught. The main advantage is that it gives adaptative learning so it can be used as an extension activity for those who are a fast finisher, but it can be used also to reinforce those students that are slower in their learning. Thus, it has a motivational component and it can enhance the learning process of students in a significant way. In the following video you can get more information. The platform belongs to Tekman education. ...
