Discover Geometric Shapes In Every Day Life

Association game consists of 7 geometric bodies and 35 images of objects in the environment, representing geometric figures in real life.
PEDAGOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The educational content of this material is based on the ASSOCIATION and similarities that exist
between certain objects in our environment and specific geometric shapes. The objects represented in the
photographs are easy for the child to identify and name and also to determine what they are used for.
They exist in the child’s context and are familiar in the environment in which the child lives. They enable
the child to become aware of the MORPHOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP that unites them and to establish
an association between both the objects in real life represented by the same geometric shape and between
the latter and the geometric shape appearing in the photograph, as well as with its respective geometric
three-dimensional object. All this means that the child is introduced for the first time to geometric shapes
in a straightforward manner; by endowing them with a function and application outside the classroom,
they are brought into real life (learning FUNCTIONALITY).
The association between the photos of the objects in context, the photos of the geometric figures and the
solid geometric shapes allows the child to develop IDENTIFICATION and CLASSIFICATION skills by
paying attention to their physical characteristics.
It is also an excellent means of DEVELOPING LANGUAGE and extending the child’s VOCABULARY.
PEDAGOGICAL OBJECTIVES:
– Acquiring the ability to relate objects morphologically.
– Improving the ability to identify, discriminate and classify.
– Incorporation and development of basic vocabulary.
– Introduction to using abstract thought (acts as a basis for establishing mental associations and
taking the first steps from concrete thought to abstract thought).
– Development of a capacity for observation, whether of the objects themselves or their
characteristics and functions.
– Learning to form suppositions and explanations for possible relationships between objects.
– Improving psychomotor coordination by handling the cards and putting them together correctly.
