Education through measurement

Hello again! I want to show you an interesting App you can have in your mobile phones or tablets. It is an App in which you are a farmer and the objective is to become the king or queen of the city. This objective, you can reach solving some problems about measurement. This is an useful App to improve this part of mathematics. The name of this App is "El rey de las matemáticas" and this can be used with students of the first cycle of primary education. It can be used with iOS and Android devices. The handicap is that you have to pay for this App.

Hello! Today I want to explain you an activity I did when I was doing my practices in the School. The students of second course of primary education were seeing the measurement in class. Firstly, the teacher showed the students some types of measurement objects, like a ruler, a metre, their hands or feets... When the students knew the objects they can use to measure, they started measuring some objects they had in class, for example a pencil, a notebook or a book. For this type of measurement (small objects), they measured them with a ruler. Secondly, they measured the playground dimensions in groups. For this, each group had a shit where the playground was drawn and some spaces in which they must put the measure in each of the cases, and a meter. They had a session of 45 minutes to do this. The session was successful in spite of thinking it was going to be an horror because they are so little to work in groups and being organized to develop the activity. I recommend you to...

Hello! This blog has been created to a subject called "Didactics of Measurement". I am a student of fourth year of Primary Education Degree. With this blog I want to pick up some resources or ideas that you can use in your mathemathics class. I hope you enjoy a lot!
