Author: Ivan Bulloch 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. Medidas contains ideas and directions on how to do a number of art projects around the concept of measuring. Some of the ideas are masks, hourglasses, bottle orchestras, finger puppets, mobiles, 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! Medidas 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. |
