These 11 comprehensive lesson plans have been developed to give teachers of years 4 to 9 (and in some cases higher grades) a glimpse of the tremendous potential for using Mathomat as an aid to teaching mathematics.
Topics covered include: Tips for using Mathomat, familiarisation with Mathomat, 2D and 3D pattern, using parallel lines and isometric grids, symmetry, estimating area, constructing the envelope of curves, maps bearings and distances, patterns with circles, mystic symbols, and construction of the sine curve.
Students will become aware of the range of shapes available for tracing, as well as some possible classifications of these shapes.
This lesson fosters appreciation of the role of mathematics in art. It also provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their creativity...
This lesson presents some activities for student exploration of the MATHOMAT drawing guides. Students construct an isometric grid and use it to represent...
Using MATHOMAT to enlarge regular polygons to produce nets of selected polyhedra, which are then used to construct three dimensional models.
Students investigate symmetry of MATHOMAT and other shapes and using MATHOMAT shapes to create two-dimensional symmetrical shapes and patterns.
In this lesson students compare the areas of the individual MATHOMAT shapes, firstly by estimation and then by measurement.
Students use the number line on their MATHOMAT to construct envelopes for the parabola and, in the higher year levels, the ellipse and hyperbola.
Introduction cardinal point and the more precise 360 degree methods of specifying bearings on maps and measuring and calculating distances using map scales.
Investigating rotational symmetry and other shapes and using MATHOMAT shapes to create two-dimensional shapes and patterns with rotational symmetry.
Investigating various figures, including the Mystic Rose and star polygons, which can be formed using equally spaced points on the MATHOMAT circles.
Introduces the number π and its location on a number line. Students then use the unit circle definition of the sine of an angle to construct a sine graph.
