Operations on the run

With this game we are going to work on children's mental calculations in a more fun way for them. We are going to suppose that we are before a group of 20 children (Although you can adapt it to the number that you are in class). We take the pieces of our Learn to Calculate and create 10 operations indicated as these (of greater or lesser difficulty depending on the level of your class): , , , The good thing about this material is that it allows us to fit the pieces together as if they were a puzzle and in a very stable way, which allows children to hold them in their hands without continually disassembling them. You will...

Shall we play decompose?

Today we present you a game to practice NUMERICAL DECOMPOSITION with rulers and gain agility. Materials: - 2 game panels . We take two sheets and create the following two game panels. In one we indicate the numbers that we want to decompose and in another the criteria that the decomposition must have. Then we put each one in a cardboard box or on the sides of our LADO suitcase so that they are delimited. (By clicking on the images you can download the pdf of these two models.) - Two tokens (whatever they are, two stoppers or two erasers) that will serve as indicators. - Our LADO Strips Game format: We throw a token on each side of the...

The value of each Rule: Do not explain it to him, make him discover it

So far we have made with our students thousands of stairs of strips, ascending, descending, etc. and thanks to this and other activities, they have identified that each strip has two characteristics: color and length. In other words, after many games and activities we conclude that "The same color of the ruler always corresponds to the same length." But we are also going to see that there are rules that have fractions , small lines that divide them into 1, 2, 3 or more parts ( see here ). And using those lines we are going to ask the students the following: How is each part? Are all the parts the same size? What does each of those parts remind...

Rulers' Maze

The use of the LADO Rules is practically unlimited and our experience shows us that they are not only useful in early childhood education, but also in primary education. In the first games, they will be used as simple pieces of different colors and sizes, to later understand their relationship with the properties of numbers and mathematical operations in a practical and visual way. Today we teach you a simple game with multiple possibilities to put logic and mathematics into practice.Rules Maze : To carry out this game we will need at least: - A box of Rules (if they are divided and numbered better). Here we show you some. - And a maze. The labyrinth can be one that...

Strokes, Letters, Numbers and Color

Prewriting is essential both for the later development of writing, and to generate an artistic interest in the child. Prewriting jobs are very varied but allow the child to focus their attention on a single activity, be more careful, set goals, develop precision with their fingers, develop their visual-motor (eye-hand) control, etc. Also doing it with fun activities. Next we leave you some fun sheets with varied strokes and drawings to color. If you want you can download the images in PDF to print, clicking here
