Lesson 7- Level 3-4- Act it Out- Handout

Pdf Summary

The Math Kangaroo Class Level 3-4 Lesson 7: Act it Out is designed to engage students by involving them in hands-on activities related to math problems, which they can visualize and perform. The lesson focuses on using figures and physical actions to solve math questions, particularly those with complex figures that might be time-consuming to draw. Ahead of the class, students are instructed to print and prepare the handout by cutting out provided shapes, as these will be used during the class activities.<br /><br />Students are also asked to bring two additional sheets of paper along with scissors, specifically for the Warm-Up session and problem #6. Throughout the lesson, they will be working on several activities, including:<br /><br />1. Cutting out shapes as required for the solution.<br />2. Using three cup cards or real cups for another exercise.<br />3. Constructing a die by cutting out, folding, and gluing a net, ensuring the dots' arrangement matches a typical die.<br /><br />Additionally, students will cut out domino pieces and squares for other exercises. The activities are designed to provide a tactile experience, helping students to better grasp mathematical concepts by "acting them out." Students are reminded not to mark on the handouts before the class to maximize the interactive experience.<br /><br />The Math Kangaroo teacher emphasizes that these activities aim to blend fun with educational value, making the learning process more enjoyable and effective. This immersive approach is expected to build students’ interest and skill in problem-solving through creative means.
