Description

Teaching material for the development of mathematical logical thinking in early childhood education.

The object of the present invention is a game-like material intended for use by children between 2 and 6 years of age who are studying for children in schools for learning and development of logical-mathematical thinking. 5

By increasing the degree of objectives, this same material could be used in older children in first and second grade.

The object of this invention belongs to the state of the art teaching or teaching material.

So far, the traditional system for teaching young children of simple mathematical operations such as counting, adding, subtracting, measuring is based on the elaboration of records and written work, as opposed to this, the 10 material object of the present invention proposes a very physical, tactile and visual system that allows children to learn from among others the following operations;

- Work the magnitude length.

- Carry out measurements using the different pieces as a unit of measurement.

- Perform classifications according to the attributes of the pieces. fifteen

- Perform qualitative serrations (taking into account the color and shape).

- Perform quantitative series (increasing and decreasing).

- Perform piece counting.

- Perform sums and solve simple problems.

- Perform subtractions and solve simple problems. twenty

- Recognize geometric figures (circle, square, rectangle and triangle).

- Compose geometric figures with the pieces on pieces and later without them.

- Perform rhythms and algorithms

All this through play, manipulation and combination of the pieces that make up the teaching material 25

Compared to other traditional teaching systems, the didactic material object of the present invention is achieved through a physical support such as pieces made of wood and painted in colors with non-toxic paint suitable for child management that children materialize in their minds concepts such as measures , units, sets, addition or subtraction operations, counting etc… 30

The present invention also has the advantage that due to the physical and tactile support of the measurements of the pieces that make up the teaching material, learning is facilitated in the case of blind children or those with severe visual impairments, which is a considerable advantage.

In order to facilitate the understanding of the object of the present invention, designs with the following figures are attached to this utility model;

Figure 1 shows a top view of the 3 formats of main pieces that make up the teaching material with its different sizes and colors 40

Figure 2 shows a view of each of the piece showing on the smaller side the embedded element (magnet).

Figure 3 shows a top view of the 4 hollow pieces of different geometric shapes (circle, triangle, rectangle and square) that make up sets in the teaching material.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION;

In view of the foregoing, the teaching material claimed in the present invention consists of a set of wooden pieces of different sizes and colors that are combined to perform mathematical operations and for logical learning, the material consists of;

20 pieces of wood pieces of 10 centimeters in length (1) painted with non-toxic paint suitable for child handling in red color with recesses at their ends or shorter faces into which 55 a connecting element or magnet is inserted .

20 pieces of wood pieces of 5 centimeters in length (1) painted with non-toxic paint suitable for child handling in green color provided with recesses at their ends or shorter faces into which a connecting element or magnet is inserted.

20 pieces of wood pieces of 2.5 centimeters in length (1) painted with non-toxic paint suitable for handling 5 children in blue color provided with recesses at their ends or shorter faces into which a joint element is inserted or magnet

The magnetized faces of the pieces (3) facilitate their union to form simple sums, the pieces being joined together by their smaller faces or sides, it also allows subtraction operations by removing elements 10 by simply separating the magnets. Finally, the combination of the pieces allows to work on both qualitative and quantitative series, likewise the union of the pieces allows measurement of objects.

These sets of pieces of different sizes allow the learning of rhythms, sequences of combinations or recursive algorithms, as well as measurement of objects in the number of units or pieces needed.

The handling and combination of these sets of pieces allows children to learn magnitudes such as length, differentiating measures between large, medium and small and performing the following tasks;

1) Recognize the attributes of the pieces.

2) Make comparisons with the pieces according to their length.

3) Perform measurements using the pieces as a unit of measurement.

4) Recognize and use the vocabulary of the magnitude length.

The teaching material also consists of larger pieces and geometric shapes consist of; Circle, triangle, rectangle and square, being hollow pieces inside in natural wood varnished with non-toxic varnish and of the following characteristics;

- Hollow circle of 20 centimeters in diameter. (2) 30

- Hollow triangle of 20 centimeters on each side. (2)

- Hollow rectangle of 20 by 15 centimeters. (2)

- Hollow square of 20 by 20 centimeters. (2)

These pieces facilitate the set of operations of sets and classification by placing the small, medium and large pieces inside, the differentiation and learning of the different geometric shapes such as circle, triangle, rectangle and square.
