Helping to Support Teaching and Learning
-
STEAM Resource
GeoLand links science and mathematics. It provides hands-on exploration of symmetry, reflection, and light, making it an ideal STEAM resource.
-
Symmetry & Reflection
Explore symmetry, reflection, and the science of light by examining the number of images reflected from an object. Adjust the angle of the mirrors to see how the reflections change.
-
Infinity Exploration
Look through the hole in the mirror to explore infinity. This unique feature adds depth to children's understanding of reflections and geometric concepts.
-
Activity Guide
Structured learning activities are important to ensure that children can effectively engage with the resource. Therefore, an activity guide is included.
-
Position and Direction
Helps children use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction, and movement through interactive activities, supporting the Year two curriculum.
GeoLand
GeoLand links science and maths, exploring symmetry and reflection with mirrors to observe images.
Overview
GeoLand is designed to enhance children's understanding of symmetry, reflection, and the science of light by allowing them to experiment with mirrors. By changing the angle of the mirrors, they can observe the number of images reflected, promoting an interactive learning experience.
This tool is beneficial for Year Two students as it helps them use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction, and movement. The included activity cards provide structured guidance for effective learning outcomes through hands-on exploration.
For Year Five and Year Six, GeoLand supports the curriculum by enabling children to identify, describe, and represent the position of shapes after reflection or translation. They can draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane and reflect them in the axes, using the plastic frame with degree graduations and acrylic mirrors for accurate and engaging activities.
Supports the National Curriculum
Mathematics, Year 2, Geometry - Position & Direction
Use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement.
Mathematics, Year 5, Geometry - Position & Direction
Identify, describe and represent the position of a shape following a reflection or translation, using the appropriate language, and know that the shape has not changed.
Mathematics, Year 6, Geometry - Position & Direction
Draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes.
