It is no secret that the methodology of teaching mathematics in elementary school differs from conducting lessons in high school. For kids it is important that the lesson is interesting and unusual. A travel lesson is a consolidation of the material covered in the second grade. Purpose: to consolidate the knowledge gained on the topics studied.
Organizing time
Teacher: Hello guys. How is your mood? Let's smile at each other and wish good luck. Today we are going on a big trip around the world on a ship.
Each row is a separate ship with a friendly team, and your task will be the first to sail to the Knowledge Island. For each completed task, the team will receive 1 point, and for speed - a few more. But not without reason they say: what you call a ship - so it will sail. Now your task: within one minute to consult with friends and come up with a good name for the ship. Then you need to choose his captain.
Guys:
- 1 row - the ship "Intellect";
- 2 row - the ship "11 experts";
- 3 row - the ship "Sea Clever".
Teacher: Well, are you ready to go on a long voyage?
Teaching younger students requires frequent use of visual material in order to interest students. Therefore, design plays an important role in the travel lesson.
Dating island
Teacher: We swim to the shore and see the Island of dating. You are met by its cheerful residents who love guests. They demand to introduce themselves.
Assignment: Friendly represent your team in any form.
The cycle
A teacher who is creatively approaching the methodology of teaching mathematics in elementary school understands that techniques and methods need to be selected taking into account the age characteristics of children. Therefore, the tasks should be clear to children.
Teacher: Wait a minute, it’s dangerous for us to go further, because there’s a funnel that can sink our ships! To stop it, you need to solve the cycle of examples. Anyone who can cope faster will be one step ahead of the rest. You are ready? Forward!
Each team is given a poster with a chain of examples, you need to decide quickly, correctly and in a friendly manner. They are designed as a funnel:
- 5 * 5 - 10 + 15 - 11 + 13 + 10 - 3 = ...;
- 6 * 5 - 3 + 10 - 11 + 20 - 7 + 1 + 4 = ...;
- 7 * 6 + 10 - 15 - 11 + 7 + 5 - 3 - 4 = ...
Well, you managed to stop the terrible cycle, the water calmed down, so we can go further.
If a similar mathematics lesson was held in grade 1 earlier, then the guys should already know the approximate requirements and rules for working in a team. Problems with support in teams should not arise.
Country Geometry
Teacher: We sailed to a country called Geometry. Here the people always draws something, calculates. Each tribe has its own tribal sign - a square, circle or triangle. Yes, interesting people live here. But one family had a problem with building a house. You should help them as soon as possible! Take one of the envelopes and read the directions.
Each team is given an envelope with a description of the work. Task: read tasks, find answers together.
1) In the room of the future house of the Znaikov tribe, the sum of the lengths of all the walls should be 16 centimeters, but what should be the length of one of them?
2) Princess Umnia is capricious and demands that the two walls of her new room be 5 meters each and the other 6 meters each. What will be the perimeter of her room?
3) The grandson of King Geom is very unsociable: he demanded to fence his small house with a fence of barbed wire. How many meters will be needed if the length of one side of his square garden is 5 meters?
These tasks are selected for classes that have an additional mathematics course in elementary school, so they are slightly complicated.
The Kingdom of the Veselchaks
Teacher: Surely you are tired of such a difficult journey, and therefore fate ordered us to be thrown into the most fun kingdom, where everyone is dancing and singing.
Students perform a warm-up: the music repeats funny movements for the teacher.
Teacher: Having gained strength, we go further. And just go!
Dangerous depths
Teacher: Oh no, a big shark is coming! We have to do something, she’s probably hungry, let's feed her our knowledge.
Assignment: Sound as many of the studied rules and formulas as possible, for each of them the team gets 1 point.
The methodology of teaching mathematics in elementary school, like any other subject, involves uniting the team spirit through the implementation of joint exercises. It is very important that more than one person is responsible for the whole group. Every child needs to be aware that his answer is important and will help the team.
Storm
Teacher: A big black cloud is coming. The storm is approaching. In order not to get into trouble, you need to get to the shore as soon as possible. To do this, take tasks on your tables and read.
Assignment: Draw up tasks from pictures and propose to solve to comrades.
On the tables are plot pictures; children need to come up with an interesting task. This task is estimated at 2 points, plus 1 point to the team that will solve the problem first.
Treasure Island
Teacher: We got to the very end, sailed to Treasure Island. But, unfortunately, not everything is so simple: you need to get a card and find a treasure.
The card is hidden in the chest, to open it, you need to pick up a code word. On a board designations hang:
A - 6 K - 8 C - 9 T - 3 B - 2 - 1 - 7 - 10 - 4 - 13
It is necessary to solve examples and, relying on the board, to reveal the secret word.
- 10: 10 = ...;
- 100 - 90 = ...;
- 36: 6 = ...;
- 2 + 8 = ...;
- 40: 10 = ...;
- 20 - 13 = ...
The answer is the word "knowledge." The team that did it faster than the others gets 3 points, the second - 2 points, and the third - 1 point. In the chest is a card with the designation of the treasure, which must be hidden in advance at any place in the classroom or hallway.
Summing up and rewarding
By the method of teaching mathematics in elementary school, a clear and concrete explanation of the tasks is supposed. Since younger students take everything literally, try not to be fooled by difficult phrases.
Teacher: So you have completed all the trials. It remains the last, most important. In the meantime, it's time to take stock and calculate points.
After the number of points is calculated, places are announced, all the guys go in search of treasure on the map. It contains gifts marked "1st place", "2nd place", "3rd place".
Teacher: Now take the stickers. Write on them what you took for yourself from this lesson, and attach it to the board.
According to this compendium, you can conduct a math lesson in grade 1, simplifying the numbers in the tasks
