Waldorf Math Lesson

First at all, what is Waldorf Mart lesson about?

The Waldorf pedagogy began in 1990. This educational method was created by Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher, after the First World War. This educator was given the task of running a school for the children of the Waldorf cigarette factory and this is the reason why he named the method.
 The aim of this method is different in each stage of learning but the main purpose is teaching in a creative way, stimulating the childrens´imagination getting closer to the reality.

Then, this is a very interesting tool which follows this method whose purpose is learning or revising the multiplication tables at the same time you compose geometric shapes.

I consider that the multiplication tables are always something "difficult" for the students, specially at the beginning. And it is good to revise them frecuently because they can forget them easily due to they are used most of the times at the school.

So, this is the perfect activity to do in class mixing the geomety!!! And you can use it with all the ages and however you want!! 

An example you could do with your students could be: You give to the children a paper with some multiplications they have to resolve, and at the same time they are doing it, they are going to compose the shapes how the video, you will see later,  explains.

Here´s two videos explaining this method doing differently and really interesting!!! when I saw the first time I loved so much because as I said previously, the best way to learn is by playing!! 

I hope you like it and, above all, that it is useful for you!
