Pupils throw the caps in their hands in turn with their fingers in such a way that it is the nearest to the cap on the platform by bouncing from the wall. Throwing is done at one time. More than one intervention is not allowed. 7. The pupil who approaches the nearest to the cap on the platform takes both caps. 8. In this situation other pupil goes on the game by putting a new cap in the middle. 9. The pupil who collects the most caps wins the game. 48

61 GAME VISUALS If 3 pupils throw the ball as it bounces on B point on the floor which ball he/she hits in the air? Which pupil hits the ball? Answer: The pupil named GIANNI (yellow) hits d object. 49

62 Pupils as in the figure put laser lights to folio stick in the middle via bisector. They show that that angle and reflecting angle are congruent angles. For this they benefit from laser lights and protractor. Laser light are reflected from folio. In this way they comprehend congruent and opposite angles, reflection. They can show reflection and symmetry by using also protractor and mirrors. A platform as in the figure is placed by leaning next to the class wall and a game area is prepared. Pupils bounce caps in their hands from the wall by putting them on the platform. More than one cap in equal amount can be put on the platform by pupils. Pupils must set bouncing speed and angle right in this bouncing process. They can use ruler to measure distance. 50

64 I AM DIVIDING ALL NUMBERS GAME Subject It Is Related Aims of the Game Tools and Materials The Number of Players Level Division To find division and remainder To teach coefficient concept To teach being able to make operation in a stated period of time Coloured cardboard (for game board) Scissors Pen, ruler Coloured tops Coloured beaded pins At least 2 pupils Primary (aged between 6-10) Secondary (aged between 10-15) HOW TO PLAY? As in the figure game boards in 9x9 sizes from coloured cardboards are prepared. A lot of coloured caps and containers are needed. Green caps represent units, blue caps for tens, red caps for hundred, dark green caps for thousands. By dividing 3867 into 46 let s find division and remainder. 3 Dark green caps 3 THOUSAND 8 Red caps 8 HUNDRED 6 Blue caps 6 TEN 7 Green caps 7 UNIT 52

65 First we will divide number 386 in thousands, hundreds and tens digit into dark green caps are put corresponding to 3000 on the 1st board. 8 red caps are put corresponding to 800 on the 2nd board. Players fix coloured pins on numbers to 4 in the first board, to 6 in the second board as they are going to make division operation to 46. Green caps corresponding to 3 thousand are converted into 3x10=30 hundred caps. There are 30 hundred red caps in the first board, 8 hundred in the second board. Here the aim is to form 4 lines in the first board, 6 lines in the second board. Caps with which four or 6 lines can not be formed will be kept as remaining. Operation goes on until line can not be formed by converting caps out into each other. 53

66 38 hundred red caps are set as 4 lines until 4th pin level to the first board. In this situation 2 red caps which can not line remain. These 2 red caps are converted into 2x10=20 blue ten caps. Blue caps are lined up as 6 lines to the second board. In this situation 2 blue caps remain in the second board. But to equal lines in the first and second board a line of caps (4) from red board and converted into 4x10=40 blue caps. Lining up of blue caps to the second board goes on. When lined up to the 8th line 18 caps out of 60 blue caps in total remain. In this way lines become equal at the 8th line. 10 caps of 18 blue ten caps are converted into 1 red cap. In this way we have 1 red, 8 blue caps. We are going to use 1 and 8 =18 number these caps formed for the next operation. In number 3867 by using 3, 8, 6 numbers we have found 18 remainder. We get number 187 by adding 7 we do not use to the end of remainder 18. We divide number 187 into 46 like the processes above by making the same reasoning. Number values of 46 are marked with pins in the first and second board. 54

67 There are 18 blue ten caps, 7 green unit caps because of number blue caps are lined up as four to the first board. In this situation 2 blue ten caps which can not line remain. These blue caps are converted into 2x10=20 green unit caps. There are 20+7=27 green caps in total. These caps are lined up as 6 to the second board. When 4 lines are formed like in the first board 3 green unit caps which can not line are going to remain. These remained 3 green caps gives remainder of 3867 divided into 46. The combination of line numbers in the first and second level also gives the division of 3864 divided into 46. There were 8 lines in the first level, 4 lines in the second level. In this situation division is GAME VISUALS 55

68 SQUARE ROOT IS LOOKING FOR PERFECT SQUARE GAME Subject It Is Related Aims of the Game Tools and Materials The Number of Players Root Numbers To find the square root of a perfect square of a number To calculate approximate square root of a natural number To teach being able to make operation in a certain time Coloured cardboard (for game board) Scissors Pen, ruler Coloured caps Coloured beaded pins At least 2 pupils Level Secondary (aged between 10-15) HOW TO PLAY? As in the figure game boards 9x9 in size are prepared from coloured cardboards. Dark green caps THOUSAND Red caps HUNDRED Blue caps TEN Green caps UNIT A lot of coloured caps and containers are needed. Green caps represent units, blue caps for tens, red caps for hundred, dark green caps for thousands. 56

69 Let s find the nearest perfect square to number Number 2136 is divided into 21 and 36 as 2 parts. Number 21 is separated as 21 red caps. 21 red caps are placed as making the biggest square. In this situation a 4x4 square in size is formed. The number of the caps remained are 5. These 5-hundred red caps are separated. 5 red caps are 5x10 = 50 blue ten caps. If these 50 ten caps is added with 3 ten digits of number 36 it is 50+3= 53 blue caps (ten) in total. 53 blue ten caps are started to be lined up as in the figure with 4 lines near red caps 4x4 in size. Missing can not be left in lines. After lines are completed 5 red caps remain. These caps are separated to be converted into units. 57

70 5 blue caps are 5x10 = 50 green caps (unit). Over 50 units 6 units in number 36 are added. There are 50+6 = 56 green unit caps. 56 green caps are lined up to the right and below of blue caps as in the figure. In this situation 20 caps remain. 4 columns 6 rows To find the square root of the nearest whole number to 2136 the number of red cap line and column is 4, the number of blue cap (blue caps below are 6 lines, blue caps above are 6 columns) line and column is 6. In this situation if these numbers are combined the approximate square root of 2136 is 46. If 20 is subtracted it is =2116. It means number 2116 is a perfect square number and its square root is 46 that is 58

Some magical squares, piece of which have not still been known in maths world were created by Benjamin Franklin ( ) who lived in the 18th century. Magical squares that is- squares whose totals of numbers written in each line, column and cross are equal have taken the attraction of people for centuries. One of the reasons of this interest is that it is difficult to make them. To make a magical square 3x3 in size (we will say third-degree magical square) can be made easily by trial and error. A fourth-degree magical square can be found coping with it some more. 1. Providing magical squares do not repeat n>2 and its values take from set. 2. According to n number, magical constant is 3.
