Under the title "Get some fresh air with math - practical ideas for outdoors", educational professionals from daycare centers and after-school care centers as well as teachers from elementary school can take away lots of ideas.
The content: Does our sidewalk have a pattern and which one is best for jumping on? Are there more cars or more bicycles in our street and do I like that? What shapes do the windows of the houses have and why are there so few crooked windows?
There are many exciting, often undiscovered mathematical phenomena on our doorstep that children can get to the bottom of.
In this training course, participants will learn practical ideas for mathematical content that can be tried out with the children outside after the course. Participants can look forward to a varied mix of theoretical input, stimulating practical phases, opportunities to reflect and exchange ideas with other participants. Participants will also learn about other helpful practical ideas and how they can be used.
Information: The workshop will take place on Wednesday, December 4, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Volkshochschule in Lebenstedt (Thiestraße 26a) and costs 75 euros.
Working materials: Participating daycare centers, after-school care centers and elementary school will receive free educational materials with ideas and background information for practical use. The material package includes: Discovery and research cards for educational specialists and teachers; discovery cards for children of primary school age including tips for accompanying learning.
