Flipped Classroom.

As I said in the last post, there are several ways in which you can work the measure in your primary class. All of these ways are useful to implement and teach this topic in a significant way.

In the last post I have talked about Pinterest and YouTube, because these applications are very helpful when we are working in a topic as maths, that sometimes, it could be difficult to understand for some of our students.

In this post I am going to talk about the next step that I will follow to use these applications and one new more.

In order to teach math in the more manipulative and practical way that I can, I will implement a new methodology in class.

This methodology is Flipped classroom, this methodology is known as a pedagogical model that transfers the work of certain learning processes out of the classroom and uses class time, together with the teacher's experience, to facilitate and enhance other processes of knowledge acquisition and practice within the classroom.


The steps that I will come after are the following one:

First of all, I will create a blog similar like this with the explication of the contents that I want to work with my students. For example, the length. The students and their parents will have this link in order to visit to follow the explanations and the activities that we do on class.

First session --> I will introduce the concept of length using different resources. Firstly, one possible activity is to measure all the students, in order to compare the different lengths that there are in the class.

After that we can play different TPR games in order to use the length and measure in class. For example, to make that students make a line in ascending order or in descending order.

Second session --> Once that my students have understood the topic that we are going to treat in class, we can do a manipulative and creative activity like that.
In which students have to present their lengths in their specific metric system (cm)


After doing this activity, I will introduce the Flipped classroom methodology, because this afternoon they have to see and specific video with another content that they have to learn. I will warn their parents that the "homework" for this afternoon is to watch a specific video. 

For example these. 




Third session --> this session is dedicated to play and have fun with our knowledge. To do this, we will play different online games related to what they have seen in their homes. But, before starting, I will some the possible doubts that they will have, because, the most important aspect of this methodology is not to have doubts in class. 

Fourth session --> this will be the last session. The students will work through a manipulative way. 
As a final project activity. The activity will consist on the following explanation. My students work in a supermarket that sell their product in bulk.  So, between them, they have to play to be the seller and the consumer. The have to ask for different product telling the specific measure that they want. 


To conclude, this can be a very interesting way to apply the learning of maths and different contents in a class, because, you are using different methodologies that will call the attention of the students and they will be involve an involucre easily. 
Also, it is a very entertaining way to make them to learn and have fun.
