MEKRUPHY GmbH / Naturwissenschaftliche Experimentiergeräte

With four experiment sets, we are expanding our proven MEKRUPHY student experiment system to include mathematics: GEOMETRY 1 deals with the basics of surface geometry, GEOMETRY 2 with spatial geometry, plus the experiment sets FRACTIONS and INTEGER. Here, too, we rely on clear, space-saving storage, high quality of the materials 'Made in Germany', student and teacher booklets created by experienced teachers and an appealing look and feel.

Learning with all senses

The more senses are involved and the more different approaches to comprehension are offered, the easier it is to learn and "grasp": A frame story helps to find a child-friendly reference to everyday life in "FRACTIONS". If you can touch the segments of a circle, move them, place them on top of each other and present the result to the teacher on a magnetic board, it makes it easier for students and teachers. This way, it is possible to quickly find out whether there is a problem of understanding and, if so, where it is. The students work in pairs to exchange ideas and help each other; here the teacher has the opportunity to intervene individually. The accompanying materials are designed in a way that they can also be used as a consistent self-study course, in home schooling or for tutoring.

Tactile mathematics

Spatial imagination is also not “innate”, but must be developed and trained gradually. If basic reading skills and the skill to interpret three-dimensional simulations are missing, even the most sophisticated 3D animation is of little use. With ingenious tricks such as magnets and pins, the students can use the experiment set GEOMETRY 2 to examine geometric 3D shapes "inside outwards". If you superimpose the space diagonal and the face diagonal of a cube, you can easily see with your own eyes (and fingers) that the two are not of the same length.
