Vocabulary work:

Nouns (street, pedestrian crossing, traffic light, transport);

Adjectives (air, ground, water, cargo);

Verbs (go, ride, cross, transport).

Preliminary work:Dienesh block games, on a walk observing transport, reading A. Severny’s poem “Traffic Light”, looking at plot paintings about traffic rules.

Equipment: road signs: “Dyenesha blocks”, “Pedestrian path”, “zebra”, “traffic light”, 4 cars, numbers - 2,3, 4, coloring pages for a surprise moment.

Progress of the lesson.

Educator: Guys, Luntik came to us from his planet, but not empty-handed. He brought a lot of crystals - these are Luntik’s favorite toys. Here they are(showing a basket with Dienesh blocks). Luntik calls his toys crystals. - What do we call them?(geometric figures).

Luntik asks for help to bring some order to his crystals.

Shall we help Luntik?

1. Game: “Arrange by size, (color, shape).”

Educator : Luntik has a lot of them. Let's arrange the geometric shapes by size and load them into the machines.

(2, two cars)

Why? (because the geometric shapes here are large and small. Children lay them out).

Now, let's break it down by color.

How many cars will we need? ( 3, three cars).

Why? ( because geometric shapes have 3 colors), (name the colors) (Children complete the task, arrange blocks by color)

Educator: Very good, well done! Everything was laid out correctly. Is it possible to break it down somehow differently? (According to form)

How many cars will we need?(4, four cars)

Why? (because there are 4 types of geometric shapes),(children arrange the blocks according to shape).

Educator : What a great fellow you are, you put everything in order and loaded the cars. Now we need to transport the cargo, but for this we need to know and follow What ? (Traffic Laws).

Let's tell and show Luntik.(I take the traffic light, switch colors, and the children tell the story.)

Children: Red light - no passage.

Yellow - get ready

And the green light is on

This means the path is open.

(When the light is green, the children are transporting cargo).

Educator : What if there is no traffic light, and a pedestrian needs to cross the road. What should a pedestrian know?(you must cross the pedestrian crossing). (Showing a pedestrian crossing sign).

2. Game: “Assemble a picture.” Working at a desk.

Educator : Guys, Luntik doesn’t know that man invented a different type of transport. Name the types of transport for Luntik.(air, ground, water)

Why does a person need transport?(to transport people and goods)

Let's assemble from geometric shapes different types transport and show Luntik. (children sit at tables, in front of each child is a set of “Dyenesh Modules” and a picture depicting transport. Children complete the task, name what type of transport and what type it is,The teacher and Luntik encourage the children with words).

3. Game: “Which piece is missing?” Working at a desk.

Educator : Let's show Luntik what other games we play with geometric blocks.

(I hand out cards with tasks to the children“What figure is missing?” Divide the square into 9 parts. 8 of them have specific icons. the child must understand and explain which figure is missing. The square may indicate one or two characteristics of the figure).

(The children complete the tasks, the teacher and Luntik encourage the children).

4. Reflection.

Educator : Well done, guys! Well, did we help Luntik? How did we help Luntik?(we laid out crystals (geometric shapes), collected and showed different types of transport, how we play with geometric shapes). Luntik gives to children coloring pages

Types of children's activities:

cognitive-research, productive, artistic, gaming, communicative.

Goals:

1. Fix to distinguish and name geometric shapes; main characteristics of objects: color, shape, size.
2. Develop memory, imagination, logical thinking, intelligence.
3. Cultivate interest in the activity, hard work, and friendly attitude towards each other.

Materials and equipment: ICT, Dienesh blocks, task cards, paper, stencils of geometric shapes, wax crayons, writing.

Lesson progress: Writing

Children play on the carpet. The teacher brings a letter.

Vospt.: Children, I received a letter this morning. I suggest opening and reading it together. We agree.

Vospt.: Okay. This is what it says here: “Hello, children. We, residents of the city of mathematical games Formandia, invite you to the City Day celebration. Come, we’re looking forward to it.” Guys, shall we go for a visit?

Children: Yes.

Vospt: Okay, today we will go to the magical city of mathematical games. And to go on a visit, what mood should we be in?

Children: Good...

Vospt.: What's your mood?

Children: Good

Vospt.: Excellent. So we are ready to hit the road.

• Train

Educator: What else do we need to get to the city of mathematical games?

Children: Transport.

Educator: That’s right, the city of Formandia is far away. I suggest getting there by train. And as you all know, the seats on the train are numbered. And the carriage numbers are unusual and consist of geometric shapes. Each of you will also have tickets on which your carriage is marked, but they are encrypted. We need to solve the code and then we will find out what number our car is located under. To make it easier to unravel the shir, let’s remember geometric shapes. (presentation of geometric shapes on a computer).

Educator: We repeated all the figures. And now I will give you tickets in which the desired number of your carriage is encrypted. But first we'll practice a little.

Children decipher the carriage number on cards.

Educator: Excellent. Everyone solved the code and found out which carriage was needed. Now take your seats. (Children sit on carriage chairs)

Educator: Children, take your seats in the carriages. Be careful, the doors are closing, the train is leaving. (You can hear a whistle and the quiet sound of train wheels). In order not to get bored on the way, let's play a game "The Fourth Wheel" . (Game "The Fourth Wheel" from geometric shapes)

• Presentation game "The Fourth Wheel"
• Physical education minute

Educator: Well done! We played this game too. Now it's time to take a little break:

We follow each other
We follow each other
Forest and green meadow.
Motley wings flicker,

Butterflies fly in the field.
One, two, three, four,
They flew and circled. (Children perform movements and count.)

• Classification

Educator: So we arrived in the city of Mathematical Games. But, unfortunately, it turned out that all the geometric figures in this city were mixed up and we need to help them. (Game "Classification" by color, size, shape)

• Present

Educator: You coped with all the difficulties very well and the people of Formandia really liked you. And you and I should give them a gift, because today is their holiday. What is the best gift? Of course, one that we will make with our own hands. To do this, we need to draw one of the geometric shapes and turn it into some object. (children, to the music and with the help of stencils, draw a geometric figure they like and turn it into some object with the help of wax crayons)

Perm 2014

Program content.

1. Learn to name geometric shapes and describe their properties.
2. To develop in children the ability to classify and generalize figures according to three properties (color, shape and size), to develop perception and attention.
3. Practice recognizing numbers from 1 to 5.
4. Develop attention, imagination, logic.

Progress of the lesson:

Children play on the carpet. The teacher's assistant brings in the parcel.

• Package

Educator: Guys, he sent us a parcel, and there is a letter in it! Let's read it: “Guys, the geometric shapes are lost. Help them get back to the land of geometric shapes. Your magic carpet will help you travel.”

What should guys do? (Help the figures)

“You need to sit on the magic carpet, grab it, say the spell:

Our magic carpet! Take flight!" (Music sounds - let's fly.)

We fly over the city, we fly over the fields. We hold the carpet tightly. We might fall if we let him go.

Here we are in a magical land. Let's look around, what do we see?

• Lock

Oh! There is a lock on the door. Magic. Probably, to open it you also need to say a spell. But the letter says nothing about him.

Let's think about how to open it?

*children's suggestions.

Let's try to open it by typing some code. (The teacher names the code, the children show the named number on their cards.)

Let's take a closer look at the lock. What is drawn here? Can you name it in one word? (Shapes)

Let's think, perhaps you need to click on some figure to open the lock? Which one?

How are these figures different? What figure is missing here? Not like everyone else? (An extra small figure! All the figures are large, but this figure is small.)

How else is it different? (All figures have angles, but she doesn’t.)

Press, Katya, quickly!

Now the door has opened!

• Map

Enter a magical land! And here is a map of the country of geometric shapes!

Square: Hello guys! What a great fellow you are for being able to open the door to a magical land! You guessed it! You will probably be wizards.

Square: Here is a plan of a city of geometric shapes. Look at our city. Why do you think this city is called that? (Geometric shapes live here.)

Look, this is the main road in this country. (Points with a pointer) And to the right and left are districts. What kind of figures do you think this area (on the right) is in?

Small or big? (shows a symbol: on the right - small, on the left - large)

We are now in the area of ​​small figures. Like any city there are streets.

The streets have names. There are even signs here:

What street is this? Color? (Blue, yellow and red.)

Let's now go to the area of ​​large figures. Where is the red street? Blue? Yellow?

There are houses on every street and each house has an address. What figure is this? All houses for different geometric shapes. If they stand in the area of ​​large figures, what size are they all? (large)

What figures live on Red Street? (red). And on yellow? Blue? (pointing with a pointer)

Square: Guys, you took the figures with you that got lost. Help them find their houses. (Children arrange the figures into houses.)

Square: Well done, you helped the figures return home. For this I will show you our trains and a magical clearing. We went to the station by car. We start the car: brrrrrr; take the steering wheel and let's go.

Invites children to the tables; on the tables there are Dienesh blocks and trains for each child.

• Train

Square: Each of you will now build a train, but be careful, I will name and describe each car.

Place the train on the left. The first car is blue and round, the second is red and triangular, the third is yellow and square, the fourth is blue and rectangular, the fifth is yellow and round. (The teacher lays out the trailers on the board.)

Count how many cars you have on the train. (Five)

Well done! You can work as train drivers. Since you have completed such a difficult task. I'll show you another magical clearing.

• Magic Glade(Voskobovich squares lie on the carpet)

Magic squares live here and can turn into anything. Now you will all become wizards and turn them into delicious candies. (teacher demonstration, children repeat, bending two opposite corners of the square.)

Candies turn into beautiful boats. (Children turn candy into a boat by bending the candy in half.)

Well, goodbye guys, they're waiting for me in another group. Did you like the city of geometric shapes? I will give you magic squares. They will help you return back to the group. Goodbye guys. (The square leaves.)

Let's go back on the boats.

The soundtrack of the river flows.

Fast river, strong current. Rocks our boat.

Leaned right, left!

Here we are.

Did you enjoy the trip? What do you remember most? (Listen to the children's answers.)

Material:“Dyenesha” blocks, cards with encoding of “Dyenesha” blocks

Progress of the lesson:

Circle of Joy

How long is the year?

What time of year is it now?

How many months are there in winter?

Name the winter months.

What month is it now?

Name the signs of winter.

Surprise moment.

Children, have you heard that someone is knocking?

I'll go see who's there.

Look, children, the postman brought us a letter. I wonder who you think the letter is from?

Do you want to know who wrote us a letter?

Then let's open the letter and read it.

“Hello, children! I need your help. An evil sorcerer bewitched the animals and locked them in a chest. We need to free them and feed them. Greetings, grandfather Lesovik"

Well, children, let's help the animals?

We need to divide into two groups.

Group 1 goes to make treats for the animals

Group 2 goes to save the animals.

It's time for us to hit the road, but the forest is far away. How do we get there, do you think?

Let's go by bus.

But to travel by bus, what do you need to buy?

The task is performed with Dienesh blocks. Children are given cards with the encoding of the figures.

— Attention! Checking tickets.

What color is your ticket?

What shape?

Show blue tickets only.

And now the red and yellow tickets. etc.

Well done! You have all found your seats correctly, you can go.

(Stop. Arrive at the forest)

Children, we have arrived in the forest, but where should we go, who will help us?

Look how beautiful the Christmas tree is, maybe it will help us?

The Christmas tree told me that in order to help the little ones, we need to correctly complete all the tasks that the snowflakes have prepared for us.

Takes snowflake No. 1 and reads the task.

1 – task: logic problems: "How many?"

Snowflake No. 2

Task 2: count forward and backward within 5.

Now treat the bunnies with carrots, how many bunnies? How many carrots? Did everyone have enough carrots? Why?

D/game “Find your place.”

Snowflake No. 3

Task 3: “Make a picture”

And this snowflake wants us to make a picture where the bunny is in the middle, the house is at the bottom right, the tree is at the bottom left, the sun is at the top right, the cloud is at the top left.

Now paint your own picture.

Well done! You all did a good job.

Snowflake No. 4

4-task: “Physical minute”

— This snowflake asks to dance with her.

Snowflake No. 5

Task 5: “What has changed?”

(On the left is a house, and on the right are 2 toys. They are at different distances from the house)

This snowflake wants to test how attentive you are.

— Tell me who is closer to the house and who is farther from the house?

Now everyone close your eyes.

(rearranging toys)

Now open your eyes and tell me what has changed? (exercise repeated 2-3 times)

Well done! You completed all the tasks correctly. Now let's go find the chest and save the animals.

Here is the chest, but it is locked. Children, there is a note here that says that the key is hidden under geometric shapes, you must guess

right where the key is hidden.

Well done! You guessed right, here is the key.

Children, it’s time for us to go back to kindergarten, let’s take the little animals with us. Get on the bus, let’s go.

Where were we?

Why did we go to the forest?

What did we do to save the animals?

What were the tasks?

Responsible parents come up with ideas for their baby interesting tasks, using numerous teaching aids - both purchased and made with your own hands. Among the favorites that help not only have fun, but also improve math skills and develop logic are games for children with Dienesha blocks. They can be safely used in working with preschoolers from 2 years old and younger schoolchildren(up to 10 years).

Purpose, objectives of the methodology

Dienesh blocks are a set of 48 figures aimed at developing children's logic. The set is complemented by cards on which properties are presented in a schematic form, as well as the negation of properties.

The purpose of the methodology is to develop mathematical abilities in children of preschool and primary school age.

The tasks of using Dienes content blocks are varied:

• development and improvement of the ability to analyze the shape of objects;
• improving the ability to compare objects with each other according to one or more parameters;
• development of imagination and creativity in children.

Classes develop perseverance in children, the desire to solve a given problem, help them gain faith in their own strength, the desire to think, make decisions, and guess.

History of creation

A wonderful guide for the development of mathematical skills, thinking and imagination appeared thanks to the works of the Hungarian researcher, teacher and mathematician Zoltan Dienes, who set out to make the comprehension of exact science as exciting as possible for children. The basic principle of the methodology is as follows: learning should not be carried out in a boring form, when the child has to listen carefully to explanations and then repeat after the teacher, but in the process of an exciting game, which gives rise to the development of the ability to think independently and show imagination.

Dienesh studied the specifics of the flow cognitive processes among preschoolers and revealed a pattern - children master numbers and simple arithmetic operations well, but understand abstract categories very poorly. Kids try to find the answer using ready-made template, which does not always work out. Therefore, the teacher came up with a manual in which the most complex concepts are introduced in a visual form.

In a simple and understandable form, having fun, small child gets acquainted with abstract categories and concepts, which will be very useful to him both at school and in later life.

Nowadays, choosing a suitable game for your baby, regardless of his age, will not be difficult. You can purchase one of the albums, activities with which will be very interesting for preschoolers (this is an album for the youngest - children 2-3 years old, “Let's Play”, “Making Nonsense” and so on).

Best age

Children of different age groups can practice with Dienesh blocks.

• The youngest children - from 2 years old - can use the elements of the set as substitute objects and play simple games exciting games(e.g. “Feed the animals”).
• Secondary preschool group. With the help of colored figures, children can build various pictures, using ready-made diagrams or using their own imagination.
• Senior preschool group. Blocks are a great way to improve math skills, learn to count, and gain the most important concepts of “more” and “less.”
• Primary school. Numerous classes with Dienesh blocks will allow you to work through issues that you couldn’t figure out in class in a fun, non-boring way, as well as consolidate your knowledge and improve your ability to think logically.

Each age has its own exercises that will be interesting and accessible to children. Parents can use ready-made options from the file cabinet or come up with something of their own.

Positive Impact

Let's consider what areas in a child's development are affected by the use of this didactic manual. There are several of them:

• memory;
• thinking;
• imagination;
• ability to think logically;
• attention;
• analytical skills;
• perseverance, the desire to cope with the goal on one’s own.

Regular use of Dienesh blocks also promotes speech development. The child’s active vocabulary gradually begins to include abstract words, adjectives denoting colors, sizes, and shapes. The baby’s responses become more complex, he begins to provide evidence of his thoughts, as he has learned to think logically.

These are beneficial properties using Dienes blocks. However, it should be noted that the methodology is somewhat one-sided, which is aimed primarily at developing the child’s mathematical abilities. Therefore, parents should figure out what other benefits they will use.

How to use blocks?

The set, intended for didactic games, includes not only the blocks themselves (48 geometric shapes), but also albums and descriptions of games that can be used in organizing activities with children.

The figures themselves differ in several parameters; there are no identical elements:

• There are several colors: yellow, red, blue;
• the shape of the blocks is triangle, square, circle, rectangle;
• The sizes are also different, the elements can be both large and small.
• thickness: thin and thick.

Didactic games with Dienesh blocks are varied, and the use of one or another of them depends on the age and abilities of a particular child. Moreover modern teachers It is advised to pay attention specifically to the baby’s development: some children may begin to master new knowledge much earlier (or later) than their peers, but there is nothing unnatural about this.

The creator of the methodology suggested relying on several stages of working with the manual.

1. Free play. There are no established rules here; the child comes up with them himself. This is how the first acquaintance with the world of mathematical figures occurs.
2. Play by the rules. Parents explain what needs to be done, the child’s task is to repeat. For example, “repeat the pattern” - the child must put together the finished version shown in the picture from the figures in the set.
3. Math games.
4. Getting to know numbers.
5. Using Dienes blocks to perform early arithmetic operations.

The transition to a new stage should be gradual, occurring at a time when the child is ready for it.

Games with kids

Dienesh blocks can be used from 2 years of age, however middle age when children begin to develop interest in them – 3 years.

The following exciting and useful games can be included in the schedule of the little ones.

• Distribution of figures into groups. The simplest task is to arrange the elements of the set into piles depending on color. Then the task becomes more complicated, the parent asks the child to group elements of the same size and shape. Next - even more interesting: now you need to find, for example, a yellow triangle among the elements.
• “Find the same one.” The parent shows the child a certain figure, for example a blue triangle, and asks him to find a similar element from the set, for example a triangle of any other color or some yellow element. The “Find another” task is performed in a similar way, but now the child’s task is to find a different figure (of a different color, shape, size).
• Games with albums. To do this, you need to purchase or download special colorful pictures on the Internet that depict flowers, animals, cars made from geometric shapes. The child will need to understand which element of the set should be attached to the picture (for example, a circle is a car wheel or a flower petal), decide on the color and size and complete the drawing.
• "Let's feed the animals." A great game for kids that will teach them how to sort figures into groups. The parent creates a kind of zoo by seating toy animals at the table. Next he gives the task - to feed them, using elements from the set as food. But each of the inhabitants of the menagerie eats only his own food (for example, the lion cub likes red figurines). The child’s task is to feed the animals. The tasks should be gradually made more difficult. After some time, the lion cub should fall in love not just with red elements, but with squares.
• Construction. This is a very interesting game for children 3-3.5 years old, allowing them to develop their creativity. Parents ask the child to create a house, a piece of furniture, a ladder - the child constructs the proposed options.

To gradually complicate the task facing the baby, in the first stages you can allow him to use a diagram with ready-made options, and then invite him to dream up or try to remember. Both will be useful for gaining critical skills.

The “Continue the Row” activities are also very interesting, as they help develop logical thinking. The optimal time to start training is from 3 years old. Parents can offer a variety of tasks.

• Lay out a simple “chain” of red, yellow and blue elements on the table and invite the child to continue the row. His task is to distribute the colors in the correct sequence.
• Invite the child to continue the chain in such a way that there are no identical figures nearby (for example, the circles are not located one after the other, the red elements are not next to each other).
• Create a row on your own so that next to each other there are figures of the same size, but different in color or shape.

Such tasks will help you learn to identify the properties of figures and carry out analysis.

Activities in middle preschool age

At 4-5 years old you can continue working with educational games, which will help develop children’s initial mathematical skills and prepare them for targeted training at 6-7 years of age. Parents can offer children several exciting activities.

"Shop"

Mom or dad sets up a store in advance, where the goods can be toys, sweets, fruits, etc., and also gives the baby certain figures from the set that will serve as money. Each of the goods in the “store” has its own cost (which is also represented by one of the figures). The child’s task is to figure out what exactly he can afford and make a purchase.

Gradually, the selection criteria may become more complicated - for example, a bear will cost not just a triangle, but a large red one or two small ones - blue and yellow.

You can play “Shop” with several children, it will be much more interesting for them.

“What has changed?”

This educational math game will not only help improve your preschooler's memory, but will also be an excellent way to develop thinking in a fun way.

A certain sequence of figures is laid out in front of the child, he must remember it.

There are two options for the game.

1. One of the figures is removed, the preschooler’s task is to remember the sequence, figure out which element is missing, and return it to the wrong place.
2. One figure is replaced by another, the child must see the change and restore the original row, correct it.

You can gradually complicate the task by swapping several blocks or including 2-3 new figures in the sequence at once.

"Second row"

This is an effective training in analytical thinking. To work, you will need several figures from the set.

1. The parent lays out a certain row of blocks, for example blue and red circles. The child’s task is to guess that the yellow circle should be next and report it.
2. The second option is for the adult to create a different sequence, for example several figures of the same color, the child must realize that next element should also have the same color and continue the row.

There is no need to prompt, the preschooler must carry out the analysis himself and guess which figure is next.

"We're moving into the house"

To work, you should prepare an image of a house that will have several rooms. In each room, you should draw those figures that “live” there, as well as those that should not exist (for this, an element, for example, a circle, is drawn and crossed out). The child is required to “place” the elements of the set in the “rooms” intended for them.

Assignments for the senior preschool group (5-6 years old)

"Let's decorate the Christmas tree"

You should prepare the Christmas tree with your own hands in advance: cut it out of green cardboard or draw and paint it.

The adult also prepares hint cards, which depict the figures themselves, painted in the colors of the blocks, with a number next to them - how many elements should be placed on the Christmas tree in the form of a decoration. The child’s task is to understand the diagram and correctly decorate the Christmas tree using the figures from the set.

Classes with areas

Such games help to form an initial understanding of sets. For a math lesson, you should draw two circles on a piece of paper - sets that do not intersect each other. The child needs to place blue figures inside one of them, and red ones inside the other. The yellow elements remain outside the space. This exercise will help explain to a preschooler what “inside” and “outside” are.

When the exercise becomes successful, the task becomes more complicated: now two sets intersect, blue figures are placed in one circle, and yellow ones in the second. The child’s task is to guess what should be in the intersection area. These could be elements different colors, but of the same size and shape, for example triangles.

To develop logical thinking, you can formulate tasks with the particle “Not”. For example, say not “Place blue squares in the circle,” but “Place neither yellow nor red squares in the circle.”

Complicated chain

A similar exercise has been discussed before, but older children should be offered a more complex option. The parent asks to create a chain such that neighboring versions of the figures have a similar feature:

1. The yellow circle is placed first;
2. the second figure can be a circle of any other color or yellow, but a triangle or square.

This creates a chain. When the exercise is easy and without problems, you should ask the child to come up with a sequence so that its elements are completely different from each other:

1. yellow circle – first figure;
2. the second should not be a circle or any yellow shape. For example, a red triangle.
3. the third element of the row is not a triangle and not red.

The more elements a preschooler includes in the chain, the better.

Further, the task becomes even more complicated - the parent determines the number of figures, for example six, places the first element and the last, the child is required to arrange the blocks in such a way that a complete row of elements is obtained that do not coincide with each other in all respects.

Before offering such a task to your child, you should check for yourself whether it has a solution, that is, parents must first collect the entire series.

Classes with Dienesh blocks will help prepare a preschooler for entering first grade, develop his intelligence and creativity. Regular exercises help improve logical thinking, independence, the ability to analyze, compare and contrast. In an accessible form, children receive information about the most important complex categories - color, size, thickness, shape, as well as an idea of ​​​​the variety of objects, the huge number of options that can be put together from them.
