Once a week, in CEIP Antonio Machado, we use one of maths session to work on workshops. Depending on the course and the topic we want to cultivate, we change the proposal activity.

​

The workshop explained below was worked with the third and forth courses of primary education.

​

1. Aims.

​

1. To relate fractions with their graphic representation.

2. To compare fractions.

3. To play in groups.

4. To follow the game rules.

5. to foster our pupils cooperative learning.

​​

. Material need.

​

1. Hexagonal domino

​

3. Game.​

​

The main aim of the game is forming a domino using the hexagonal pieces.

​​

​

4. Steps to follow.

​​

• Step 1. We need to divide the class into small groups.

​​

• Step 2. Each group delivers all the pieces among all the players.

​​

• Step 3. Each player will analyze their pieces and review if they can continue with the game in this round or not.

​

• Step 4. If the player can't continue, loses the turn and the following player continues playing.

​

• Step 5. The winner is the first to turn out of pieces.

​

• Optional step. We can prepare a competition in which they should pass different rounds.

​

• Optional step. We ask the pupils for the pieces: "which fractions are on the path?", "which is the representation of the fraction?" and so on.
