In this post we have made it clear on how to make the Math’s Shapes TLM working model using cardboard and color paper for students and teachers
Creating a mathematics shapes TLM (Teaching-Learning Material) working model using cardboard and color paper is an excellent way to teach and learn about different shapes in a hands-on and interactive manner.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to making the model:
Materials you will need:
- Cardboard (for the base and shapes)
- Color paper (different colors for different shapes)
- Scissors
- Glue or adhesive
- Markers or pens (for adding details)
- Ruler (optional, for precise measurements)
Step-by-step instructions:
- Prepare the base:
- Take a large piece of cardboard to serve as the base for your shapes TLM working model.
- Decide on the shapes:
- Determine which shapes you want to include in your model. You can choose from basic shapes such as circle, square, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, etc.
- Draw and cut out the shapes:
- Use a ruler and pencil to draw the outlines of each shape on the color paper.
- Carefully cut out each shape using scissors.
- Optional: Decorate the shapes:
- If you have other color paper available, you can glue it onto the cardboard shapes to make them more visually appealing.
- Arrange the shapes on the base:
- Glue the shapes onto the cardboard base, arranging them in rows or columns.
- Label the shapes:
- Use markers or pens to label each shape with its name (e.g., circle, square, triangle, etc.).
- Add details and properties:
- Use markers or pens to add details and properties of each shape, such as the number of sides, angles, and other unique characteristics.
- Demonstrate the model:
- Use the model to teach and learn about the different shapes and their properties.
- Encourage hands-on interaction by allowing students to identify and match shapes on the model.
- Optional: Add 3D shapes:
- If you want to teach about 3D shapes, you can also create paper models of cubes, spheres, cylinders, etc., and attach them to the cardboard base.
This model provides a visual and tactile representation of different shapes, making it an effective tool for teaching and learning geometry concepts. It’s a fun and engaging project to explore the properties of various shapes and their applications in mathematics.
