We are doing geometry(from numbers strand we moved to shapes and space). The main thing we are learning in geometry is angles. The different types of angles we learnt are acute, obtuse, right, straight, and angles.

Multisensory Maths Learning on Geoboards

Learning through doing is what reinforces the understanding of concepts, and in the Junior School we encourage learning through multisensory methods. This week, Grade 4 students were keen on showing their learning through the use of Geoboards when recognising and defining different angle types. Through both kinesthetic and visual approaches, they formed closed shapes where they could identify the number of angles and sides. Presenting their findings orally helped to solidify their learning.
