Open your mind to create your own materials!

Hi guys!

I think that producing our own materials can be a really positive didactical tool to work with our students. In fact, Mathematics is a subject that require the maximum degree of manipulation and experimentation. Thus, if we dedicate some sessions to create some new resources with recycled materials, both from class or students' house, we can promote a creative and challenging environment.

With regard to this topic, I've found a really interesting video which shows an instrument made with recycled materials to measure the weight. To make this resource, we only need a pair of scissors, a ruler, a marker, two bottles and some colouring. Therefore, it is easy to do in class with our students.

Here, I attach the video for you. Hope you like it!
