Fifth and Sixth Grade Exhibition

The “ Fifth and Sixth Grade” exhibition contains a set of exhibits and activities to illustrate mathematical concepts and basics in a fun and interesting technical style that stimulates the scientific curiosity of the students and their teachers

The objectives of the exhibition are centered on the following:

  • Transforming mathematics from a science described as rigid to an educational pleasure.
  • Integrating the two stages of education directly into the experimental process in mathematics by letting the students conduct experiments themselves or interact directly with the exhibits and observe the results.
  • Developing school teachers’ understanding of mathematics for fifth and sixth grades as a dynamic experimental concept based on knowledge and inquiry.
  • Improving the ability of school teachers to make appropriate educational decisions by taking into account the needs related to the variety of curricular topics at these stages.
  • Increase the effectiveness of math teaching methods and the necessary methods in the teaching process.

1) Play with Fractions

In math, a fraction is the concept of a relative relationship between a part of an object and the whole object. A fraction is an example of a special type of ratio where two numbers are related in a part-to-whole relationship. A fraction is the result of a division, or the number obtained by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Students often make mistakes when adding and comparing fractions because they don’t have the skill to relate the part to the whole and treat fractions as two numbers rather than a unit.

This exhibit provides all types of fractions to help students compare and compare fractions, find equivalent fractions, and add and subtract fractions in an interesting and fun way.

2) ATM – Factor Analysis

In factorization, we need to factor the prime factors to find the least and greatest common multiple, and this skill cannot be reached without the student’s knowledge of multiplication.
This exhibit gives students the ability to play and analyze numbers, learn about prime numbers and find the greatest common multiple between different numbers.

3) Protractor and Angles

The rotation of the pointer is called the angle measurement and can be measured in two ways:
– The first is by sigmoidal estimation and its unit of measurement is degrees, with a full rotation of 360 degrees.
– The second is by circular estimation, in which the value of a full rotation is equal to (2π).

That is 180° = π
