Measurement webs and ICT games

In this post I talk about a web with ICT resources and games online. All of them are composed of maths games for children of Primary Education, from 6 to 12 years.

This web is https://www.mundoprimaria.com/juegos-educativos/juegos-matematicas. In this web we can choose what area of maths we want to practise as measurement, geometry, numbers and operations and problem resolution. Despite of this, I will centrate my post in magnitudes and measurement.
Some examples of this games are the following:

  • 1st cycle of Primary Education:

In this game the students have to measure lengths choosing if they will measure with spans, foots or steps in order to what they have to measure (a house, a blackboard, etc.)

In this game the students practise fractions and they have to know "How much juice there is in each glass of juice". It shows two glasses of juice with juice and they choose if there is 1/2, 1/3, 1/,4, etc.

In this game the students have to choose the bills and coins they need to pay some things. This is very important because children, in general, have difficulties when they are learning to buy things. I think that it is very important to create markets or real problems in class related to this.

In this game the students have to choose what is the correct clock which mark the hour that is said before. For example, "choose the clock which indicate three o'clock". 

  • 3rd cycle of Primary Education:

In this game the students have to calculate (add or subtract) hours, minutes and seconds. This is very important for children to know and understand that time is only from 0 to 60. So when it reach 60 seconds we have 1 minute and when it reach 60 minutes we have 1 hour. Sometimes children have difficulties to understan it so due to this is very important to teach it through games and manipulative resources.

Finally, in this game the students have to calculate and decide "how much dm are 25mm?" and questions in this kind. Basically, the students have to convert small units in graters or big units in smallers one.

It is very important to practise maths with ICT resources because children feel thmselved motivated.
