Blocks of Gienesh with their own hands

Parents who still believe that mathematics is boring and uninteresting science, for sure, are not familiar with the developing blocks and methods of teaching Gyenes. This unique development of the Hungarian mathematician and teacher, fundamentally changes attitudes towards abstract mathematical concepts and teaches kids to creatively approach the solution of set tasks from early childhood. Not stopping from a favorite lesson - games, crumbs get acquainted with such elementary concepts as color, shape, size, learn to generalize, compare and classify.

Logical blocks Gyenes can be purchased at the store or made by themselves. The process does not take much time, but it will give your kid an amazing field for activity and an excellent opportunity to discover creativity .

Master-class "Logical blocks of Gienesh by own hands"

So that your child can play and learn at the same time, we will have to produce 48 geometric figures that differ:

The dimensions and the thickness of the details will be specified later, when we cut the workpieces.

Before you start working, you need to prepare everything you need, namely:

wooden bar or old wooden blocks; a jig saw and an emery paper; a water-based paint of the colors indicated above; pencil, ruler, compasses.

Now go directly to the process:

  1. First of all, jig saws cut our bar into 9 cm slices.
  2. After that, using a pencil, ruler and a circular we will mark out the cross-section on both sides, so that the error in the sawing is minimal.
  3. Now we are waiting for the most painstaking work - to cut out the given geometric figures with the indicated sizes.
  4. When the blanks are ready, the main thing is not to get confused with the thickness. In principle, we have obtained two blocks with a triangular, rectangular, square and round cross section, only with different overall dimensions. Now cut them, so that out of each came out 3 elements with a width of 2 and 1 cm.
  5. This is the most difficult part of our master class on the manufacture of blocks Gyenes completed. It remains to grind the obtained figures and cover the water-safe paint for children's health. By the way, coloring the figures, do not forget that the same elements in the set should not be.

Here, in fact, the Gienesh blocks are ready, and while the baby is getting acquainted with his new toy, parents have time to start making a special album and learn a few games.
