Measuring: MATEAMIGO

Hello everyone!

In today's post I want to talk about some math books to use in our classes and complement all previous posts of this blog. The collection of books is called "The Mateamigos" and uses as a protagonist a few children to introduce us through different adventures in the world of mathematics.

There are two levels within the collection, one would be for fifth grade students and another for sixth grade students. Inside we can find many activities that mix the reality of everyday life with the adventures of these friends, as well as the history of famous mathematicians, as well as the things they discovered. It has another section of challenges and self-assessment so that students can evaluate the knowledge they are acquiring.

The units present a thread that depends on the course is one or the other, but they do not let us lose the sensation of being in the adventure with the Mateamigos. The difference it has with normal textbooks is that it is working all the blocks that are established in the curriculum in all units, so we would not stop giving any block if we do not have time to reach all of them at the end of the course.

In the fifth book he uses gamification to move from one unit to another, which will motivate the little ones much more. On the other hand, in the sixth book presents activities to work with Geogebra, thus making use of ICT.

As a last nuance, we can verify that it has a transversal character since it uses elements of other subjects such as history, natural or social to give the different contents.

I hope you enjoyed this entry!
