The introduction

This is a presentation to a practical lesson done for the grade

4 students in the mathematics class. The main subject of this

lesson is to teach the students the principle of ascending and

descending decimal numbers as well as doing some simple

calculations with them. The main thing is to use the

educational bag for mathematics that contain number of

games and puzzles.

The students are to be working in a group of 4 students each

and will

use different kits to reach the same

result and see how effective was the

bag for their understanding.

Tools used from the mathematics educational bag:-The instruments used are as follows:

1. Two worm dolls made of hard papers, where numbers are

written on each part.

2. Two samples of doll-dress models.

nThe Subject:

- Mathematics for Grade 4:

- Addition/Subtraction/Sorting Decimal Numbers.

Each group which consists of 4 students are assigned to a

specific activity as shown in the previous video. Two of them

are using the worm, while the other two using the doll-dress

model.

One of the first group student will put the parts of the worm

in an ascending order while her colleague will do the

descending part.

The other group has been given the doll-dress in order to

match the subtraction/addition of the decimal numbers.

The lesson objectives:

The outcome of this lesson is :

1. To understand the concept of ascending and descending

decimal numbers.

2. To be able to sort out them correctly.

3. -To be able to do simple calculations (subtraction +

addition) with the decimal numbers.

4. To solve the problems/worksheets given based on the

same concept.

The activity summary

The idea is to work individually, yet they can share ideas

between them as well.

The benefit is scaled by the results we get from the students

and how well they have worked with these materials and kits.

The students worked both individually as well as there was a

collaborative involvement when discussing and sharing ideas.

Worksheets have been given at the end of the lesson in order

to measure the level of understanding and how well those

activities served the educational process.

The community involved

For the mathematics educational bag, all teachers of the

school who teaches from grade 1 to 4 can use it as they will

find different types of games, puzzles as well as worksheets

related to different lessons.

Nevertheless, the bag is yet to be developed and many more

materials to be added since it definitely did not cover all the

areas of the subject.

Conclusion

These types of games and puzzles proved to be an affective

tool which is called learning by games. Students show a great

interest to these sort of activities and it does not only engage

the students with the subject, but also enriches their

collaborative skills.
