Description
The experimentation box consists of ten wooden laying games, which the students work on in small groups. Through haptic experimentation with the colored geometric shapes, the young people independently arrive at the results and thus "grasp" what was previously abstract theory. In this way, the Pythagorean theorem, for example, becomes a lasting personal discovery. The levelling games bring variety into German lessons and playfully promote the use of the German language in the future-oriented area of MINT (mathematics, information technology, natural sciences, technology). We recommend consulting with the subject teacher to coordinate the use of the Legespiele with the class curriculum.
Language examples:
square - triangle - hexagon - circle - parallelogram
the gray square - the gray area - four green parts
Put together a square from the seven parts.
