Series: Matemáticas en acción Format: Paperback book (32 pages) Bilingual Journey’s Age Recommendations: from 3 to 9 years Description: This book is part of a series that teaches mathematical concepts through arts and crafts activities. Figuras contains ideas and directions on how to do a number of projects with painting and geometrical shapes. Some of the ideas are stamping, tracing, making cubes and boxes, making 3-D plants and animals, etc. The directions are easy to follow, and every project is accompanied by full-color photographs to illustrate technique and final result. Each page lists the mathematical concepts that are learned with that project. Our comments: This series includes some really creative ideas with an ulterior educational motive: that of teaching and improving understanding of mathematical concepts. The children won't even know they are learning! Figuras is also just a good resource for the family or teacher interested in doing some fun art activities with their children. For parents with children of different ages, most of the projects can be done simultaneously with preschoolers and older children. |
