Educator: We have guests today. Let's wish loud: "Good morning!". Now let's say it in a whisper. The postman brought us a letter today. Let's find out who sent it to us. (The teacher reads the letter). “Hello, dear guys! We had a problem, our pets ran into the forest and got lost. Please help me get them back!” This is a letter from my grandparents. Well, guys, can we help? After all, trouble happened to them. What pets could run away from their grandparents? What animal can you ride? Today we will ride a horse. (The sound of hooves). Before take your seats, you need to answer questions.

A game "Give me a word":

It's warm in summer and cold in winter.

The hare is gray in summer and white in winter.

The hare is fluffy, and the hedgehog is prickly.

Lemon is sour, and candy is sweet.

The elephant is big and the dog is small.

Educator:

The horse's hooves click, click, click,

And we are in the cart, hop-hop!

But before we go into the forest, we need to remember how to behave in the forest? Let's review the rules of conduct in the forest.

If you came to the forest for a walk,

Breathe fresh air

Run, jump and play

Just don't forget,

That you can't make noise in the forest,

Even sing very loudly,

The animals will be scared

They will run away from the forest edge.

You are just a guest in the forest.

Here the owner is the oak and the elk.

Take care of their peace,

After all, they are not our enemies!

Children: Don’t make noise, don’t play with matches, don’t throw garbage, don’t break trees.

Educator: That's right guys! Don't make noise, don't shout, but help each other. So you and I have arrived in the forest, come out.

How beautiful it is here! What's the air like? Let's take a breath of fresh, clean air. (Children inhale through their nose and exhale through their mouth).

Look, the miracle tree is growing.

Miracle, miracle, wonderful,

And on it, but on it, not flowers bloom,

Not leaves, but wild animals.

Let's sit down on the stumps and relax.

Educator: Guys, look carefully at the tree. What animals do you see? Where does the squirrel sit?

Children: A squirrel sits under a tree.

Educator: Where does the forest sit?

Children: The fox is sitting under a tree.

Educator: Sa, sa, sa - here sits the forest. What are these animals called in one word? Children: Wild.

Educator: Why?

Children: Because they live in the forest, get their own food, build their own housing.

Educator: Guys, count how many animals there are?

Children: Three.

Educator: Guys, we have numbers. Shows the numbers, children say how many objects they represent.

Educator: Guys. Our wild animals love to play. Let's play with them.

Children: Yes.

Educator: You will need to find the necessary figures and put the number that I show. We will put the figures in baskets.

Game with Dienesh blocks. Picture of a squirrel – number 2, blue circle; picture of a hare – 3, yellow triangle; fox – number 1, red square. We will collect red cones in a red basket, blue cones in a blue basket, and yellow cones in a yellow one. Ready? First let's play with the squirrel. What pieces does the squirrel like to play with?

Children: With a blue circle.

Educator: How many circles does the squirrel need to find? (Shows number 2)

Children complete the task with all the animals. The teacher shows a red rectangle - the number 0. The children answer that this number means not a single object.

Educator: Guys, say goodbye to wild animals. We need to move on. It looks like it's starting to rain. (Takes out an umbrella). Rather, we hide under an umbrella so that the rain does not wet us. (The sound of rain sounds).

The rain comes and goes.

It's raining, but it's not raining.

Rain, rain.

It rains a little, like this -

Clap quietly with me.

And it can also be strong.

Clap hard with me.

And there are also in the sky miracles:

Thunder rumbles, a thunderstorm begins.

Became weak again

And he completely fell silent.

Educator: Guys, look, a magic chest. This chest contains animals that ran away from their grandparents. You need to guess the animals based on their descriptions. Well, are you ready? Listen carefully to the riddles. (Riddles on autumn leaves). Riddle about a cat. Let's get a look. Right.

How can you affectionately call a cat? (Answers).

What cat? What does a cat like to eat?

Riddle about a dog. Let's see if it's really a dog? What kind of dog do we have? What benefits do dogs bring? (Guards the house)

What does a dog like to eat? (Bone)

What does the dog like to do? (Wag your tail).

What animals are these? (Domestic). Why?

Riddle about the hare. What kind of animal is he? (Wild)

What about the rest? (Domestic)

That's right, so we will return the bunny back to the forest, and now we will take these animals to grandparents.

They approach the house. Grandfather and grandmother are sitting.

Educator: Say hello. Grandfather and grandmother are already waiting for us. Look, we have brought your animals.

Oh, what a great fellow you are, thank you for finding our animals.

Educator: Guys, because you are so great and helped them, your grandparents want to treat you to cookies, and these cookies are not simple, but geometric. On a tray lie Dienesha blocks, children have cards). Guys, the last task, you now have to put the necessary shapes on the strips. Start the task. Whoever can handle it raises his hand.

It's time for us to return home. Get on the cart.

Reflection:

Here, we have arrived. Come to me.

Guys, where were we today? (In the forest).

Who did we see there? (Wild animals)

What animals did you see? (Bear, hare, wolf, fox, squirrel).

What did we do?

Who did you help today?

Progress of the lesson

Organizing time.

Children enter the group, stand in a semicircle, facing the teacher.

Educator: Children, tell me, why do people smile? (Children's answers)

Smile at each other, smile at your guests.

Game "Greeting"

Turned their faces to each other,

We smiled.

They offered their right hand,

And then they shook her

And we hugged each other, walked away and bowed,

And we spun around a little

Is everyone ready to practice?
Children: We will try very hard

I wish you a good mood and invite you to a fun journey through the seasons on the Time Machine. Children, do you want to go on a trip with me? (Children's answers).

Since our journey is unusual, I suggest you turn into blocks. You want? (children's answers) Each person choose a block from the basket and tell us who you are. (children say: “I am a blue block, big, thick, square)

As I already said, today we will travel on the Time Machine. To do this you need to build it. The success of the trip depends on how friendly and attentive you are to each other.

Children, come to the table and build your “Time Machine” from geometric shapes according to this model. (The teacher puts the sample on the easel, the children build a silhouette figure based on it).

Game "Tangram"

Don’t forget that you will be “jumping” from one season to another on your “Time Machine” at times, so work together.

Main part.

Educator: Built? Well done! Now come to me, stand in a circle, hold hands. For your cars to start moving, you need to count backwards from 20 to 1. (Children count and then sit on chairs).

Educator: Who is meeting us? (Picture showing: image autumn girls). Children's answers.

Autumn has prepared a basket of vegetables and fruits for us. (Show basket)

Find blocks that are similar in shape and color to vegetables and fruits. (Children choose the blocks they need) Now describe them and find symbol cards that correspond to the selected blocks. (Next, children find blocks and symbol cards corresponding to vegetables and fruits)

Children, look, Autumn has prepared another game for us.

Game "Fourth wheel"(The teacher shows the picture, the children find an extra item and explain why it is extra).Gymnastics for the eyes. (Children use the pupils of their eyes to draw a circle, square, triangle).

Educator: Okay! Our journey continues as we head into the next season. Who will meet us after autumn? (winter) (Picture showing: image winter girls ) Why do you love winter? What fabulous holiday happens in winter? (Children's answers) Close your eyes, imagine that the New Year has come. Open your eyes. What is the main symbol of the New Year? (Christmas tree)

Guess what kind of tree Santa Claus brought for the holiday?

It is not small, not blue, not red, not yellow, not rectangular, not square, not round, not thin (answer: large, green, triangular, thick). Children find this block.

What needs to be done to make the tree become New Year's? (Children's statements) Let's decorate the Christmas tree and make beads for it according to the patterns that are on your table (optional).

Game "Make Beads"

(children draw beads from blocks according to four properties). After the children complete the task, the teacher asks questions:

How many blocks were used to build the beads?

How many yellow blocks were used? red? blue?

How many rectangles did you use? squares? circles? triangles?

Which figures are more numerous: yellow or red? How long?

Well done! Now there will be a jump into the next season. Close your eyes. (Picture posted: image spring girls ) Now, look who is meeting us? (Spring) In spring, many birds return to us from warmer climes.

Physical education minute(children's choice)

Educator: Children, let's help the birds find their houses.

Game “Place the tenants in the houses”

(Children are given pictures of houses; they need to find blocks that correspond to these properties; the blocks are “birds”).

While the children are working, the teacher asks questions: What bird lives here? (shows)

Why was this bird placed here? (children's answers)

Educator: Okay! We move on to the next time of year. Who's meeting us? (Summer) (Picture showing: image girls - summer ) Remember how beautiful it can be in the summer, how many flowers bloom in the flower beds. Let's plant flowers in the flower beds too.

Game with three hoops “Plant flowers in the flower beds”

Children, count how many flower beds there are. (7) Let's name them.

Think of the blocks as flowers. We will plant flowers like this: inside the red hoop - everything red flowers; inside a blue hoop- all big flowers; inside the yellow hoop - all triangular flowers.

Inside the blue hoop, outside the red and yellow(all big)

Inside the red hoop, outside the blue and yellow ( all red)

Inside the yellow hoop, outside the red and blue(all triangular)

Inside the blue and red, outside the yellow hoop - everything is not triangular, not rectangular, not round(square)

Inside the blue and yellow, outside the red hoop - all yellow

Inside the red and yellow hoop, outside the blue hoop - all the blocks that are not thick(thin)

Inside the blue, red and yellow hoops -blue, small, thin blocks

What flowers are left outside the flowerbed?

Final part.

Educator: Our journey is coming to an end! Did you enjoy our trip? What time of year is your favorite? What tasks were easy for you today? Which ones are difficult?

What time of year is it now? (Children's answers) We are staying at this time of year for now, and the “Time Machine” is going to another kindergarten. How are you feeling after our trip? Take a joyful emoticon for yourself, and let it always give you a good mood.

Modern parents have access to many teaching aids with which they can develop their children from a very early age. Dienesh's logic blocks are very popular - a game with pictures, diagrams and special albums. This book helps preschoolers learn the basics of mathematics in a fun way. Find out what the material is and how to work with it.

What are Dienes blocks

This is the name of a special didactic manual for mastering mathematics, developed by a famous Hungarian scientist. Zoltan Gyenes devoted his entire life to this discipline. He tried to make it as understandable and interesting as possible for children. For this purpose, he specially developed the author's Dienesh system for the early development of mathematics by children.

The game manual is a set of 48 geometric shapes. They are represented by elements, among which there are no repetitions. The figures are divided according to the following criteria:

1. Color. Blue, red, yellow.
2. Size. Small, big.
3. Thickness. Thick, thin.
4. Form. Circle, triangle, square, rectangle.

Methodology

Dienesh's logic blocks are designed for teaching mathematics in a playful way. Classes with them contribute to the development of memory, attention, imagination, and speech. The child develops the ability to classify material, compare, and analyze analytical information. The optimal age to start classes is 3-3 years. Working with Dienesh's logical blocks will teach your little one:

1. Identify the properties of objects, name them, explain what the differences and similarities are, and support your reasoning with arguments.
2. Think logically.
3. It's better to talk.
4. Understand color, thickness, shape and different sizes.
5. Be aware of space.
6. Solve educational and practical problems independently.
7. Persistently pursue goals, cope with difficulties, and take initiative.
8. Perform mental operations.
9. Develop imagination, creative and intellectual abilities, imagination, modeling and design skills.

How to work with Dienes blocks

Classes take place in several stages. Dienesh developed his method taking into account the psychological aspects of young children, so there is no need to be afraid that it will be too complex for the thinking of a preschooler. The following stages of development of mathematical abilities are distinguished:

1. Free play. The goal is to teach the baby to solve unfamiliar problems using the “trial and error” method, trying out different options.
2. The baby smoothly switches to playing according to certain rules. As classes progress, basic information becomes familiar, for example, “which shapes are the same.”
3. Discussion, comparison of the content of mathematical games. It is necessary to select different options with related rules, but different game materials.
4. Familiarization with the content of numbers. It is recommended to use maps, diagrams, tables.
5. The last stage is the longest and is suitable for older preschoolers. It should offer different cards with definitions of rules that help to come to specific logical conclusions. Gradually, the baby will become familiar with such concepts as theorem and axiom.

Logic blocks

The figures themselves are the basis of Dienesh’s technique. They provide many exciting educational games for children of different ages. The main purpose of Dienesh blocks is to teach a child to understand the properties of objects. With their help, he will learn to distinguish and combine objects, and classify them. The presence of pictures and special albums will significantly diversify the number of games that you can offer your preschooler.

Cards

For classes, images are used that contain symbolic information about the properties of the figure. It looks like this:

1. The color is indicated by a spot.
2. The size is the silhouette of the house. A small one is designated as a one-story building, a large one as a multi-story building.
3. The contours of geometric shapes correspond to the shape.
4. The thickness is two images of men. The first one is fat, the second one is thin.
5. In Dienesh's set there are cards with denial. For example, a multi-story building with a cross through it means that the desired figure is “not big,” that is, small.

Sets of cards can be used not only together with Dienesh blocks, but also for independent games. Working with them develops logic, the skill of decoding information using symbols. First, the child should be given the simplest game tasks to get acquainted with Dienesh cards, and then gradually complicate them. A set of images can significantly diversify classes and make them much more interesting.

Albums

You will need to purchase several such benefits for each age range. They should be selected according to the child’s level of development, and not according to how old he is at the moment. Sometimes at 3 years old a child has the development of a 5 year old, and sometimes vice versa. The albums contain various games with Dienesh figures, diagrams and drawings according to which you can put them together. You can complicate the tasks yourself, add variety to them, focusing on the child’s reaction.

Dienesha blocks for the little ones

Children from the age of two can practice logical figures. Many simple games have been developed for them. Their main goal is to teach the child to distinguish between the properties of an object and to group objects according to certain characteristics. Such activities will not only be useful, but also interesting for every child. Check out some of the most popular game options.

Samples

These are the simplest games for kids who are just getting acquainted with the Dienesh set. Example:

1. Place the elements of Dienesh in front of the child.
2. Let him group them according to different criteria. First he selects everything of the same color, then size, etc.

Gradually the game becomes more difficult. Invite your child to sort blocks according to two or more criteria. For example:

1. Choose yellow rectangular blocks and blue square ones.
2. Get all the flat figures of the same size.
3. Choose thin round blocks.
4. Sort out all the blue triangle shapes.

Construction

All children, without exception, adore this creative game. It is very simple, but fascinating. The child is asked to put together different figures from the elements of Dienesh, first according to the diagrams, and then without them, gradually complicating the task. Examples of objects you might be asked to construct:

• house;
• table;
• house with windows;
• herringbone;
• shop;
• stool;
• sofa;
• chair;
• steps;
• armchair;
• machine.

Continue the series

The game is aimed at strengthening the child’s knowledge of geometric shapes, size, thickness, and color. Thanks to her, he will learn to find patterns. Task options:

1. Place the elements of Dienesh on the table in front of the baby so that each next one differs from the previous one in one way. The child independently continues this series.
2. Lay out a chain of Dienesh figures so that there are no objects nearby that are identical in two respects. Invite your child to continue this series.
3. Place Dienesh figures in front of the baby by color: red, yellow, blue. He will continue the series, alternating shades in a given sequence.

Feed the animals

Place several of his favorite toys in front of your baby. Let him feed each one a pair of “cookies” (blocks). Offer some conditions, for example, the bear cub should be given only red food, and the kitten should be given square food. This game resembles sampling, but children perceive it much better. It’s rare that any child refuses to feed their pets.

Games with Dienesha blocks for the older group

When the child grows up, he will be able to click the exercises for kids like seeds, and the tasks will have to be complicated. Dienesh's method for preschoolers is designed for children 5-6 years old. The exercises are more complex; not only the cubes themselves are actively used, but also cards and game albums. The tasks are aimed at developing logical thinking in an adult child and the ability to explain the decision made. Study a few games as examples, based on which you can come up with many more exercises.

Search

Give your child any figurine of Dienesh or offer to choose one yourself. Then, from the total mass of blocks, he will take out all those that coincide with the first one in one given property. Once he has mastered the game well, make it more difficult. Let the child select blocks that have two identical properties to the one originally taken. Then you can make the game even more difficult. The child must choose those blocks that do not have a single adjacent property with the first one.

Domino

This game is suitable even for several children. Rules:

1. Each player receives an equal number of blocks. The order of participants is determined.
2. The first one makes a move with any piece.
3. The second one places a block that has one of the same properties.
4. If there is no suitable piece, the participant misses a move.
5. The first one to lay out all his blocks wins.
6. The game can be complicated by changing the rules about the properties of the pieces being laid out. For example, you need to respond with a block that has two similar characteristics, etc.

Find the odd one out

The following game will help children learn to group three-dimensional geometric shapes according to various criteria. Rules:

1. Place three figures in front of the child. One of them should not have a single property in common with the others.
2. Let the child figure out which block is extra and explain why and how he came to this conclusion.
3. Make the task more difficult. Lay out 6 blocks. The baby must remove the extra two.

Find a match

This game will appeal to children who have already mastered all the simple tasks well. Rules:

1. Place several figures in a row in front of your child.
2. Offer to select a steam room for each according to a specific property.
3. Make the task more difficult. Let the child try to choose a pair based not on one, but on two or three properties.
4. You can initially take, for example, 10 paired elements. Place them in a bag. Let the child make the pairs himself, laying out the Dienesh figures in two horizontal rows.

Artists

To play the game you will need several large sheets of colored cardboard. They serve as sketches of paintings. To compose the composition, additional cardboard parts are needed. The game teaches you to analyze the shape of objects, compare them, and develops creative and artistic abilities. Rules:

1. Based on the sketches, the kids must “paint” a picture.
2. They choose the preparation themselves. It shows schematically where which blocks should be located. Thin ones will only be outlined, and thick ones will be completely painted over.
3. Let the children select the missing blocks and parts cut out of cardboard to the correct places in the “sketch”.

Shop

For this task you need cards with images of objects that will serve as goods, and logical elements. The game “Shop” develops memory, the ability to reason, justify your choice, identify and abstract properties. Rules:

1. A preschooler comes to a store that has a variety of card products. He has three figures that perform the function of money. You can purchase one item for each.
2. The child needs to buy an object that has at least one property that matches the money figure.
3. You can gradually complicate the game by offering new rules.

Let's decorate the Christmas tree

The following game helps develop the skills of ordinal counting and diagram reading. For it you will need an image of a Christmas tree and 15 cards with symbols and blocks. Rules:

1. The Christmas tree should be decorated with beads in five rows. Each will contain three beads.
2. The number on the card is the serial number of the position of the thread from top to bottom. The circle painted on it shows which number the bead should go, and below it indicates which element will represent it.
3. Let the child hang the first row of beads, and then all the lower ones, strictly following the diagram on the card.

Developmental Wednesday: brain teaser Dienesha blocks, letters made in the form of different geometric shapes, a sheet with a drawn rope for "stringing" beads, a bag, two hoops, gift boxes, two trays.

Progress of organized educational activities.

Guys, today the postman came and brought it to letter group. One of the letters was addressed to you guys. By chance, I mixed up the letters and now I don’t know which one is yours (there are envelopes of different shapes, sizes and colors on the table). What to do?

I have cards that will help you find the letter you need. (Put out the cards on which it is encrypted letter: square, large, yellow.) Let's talk about what the letter should look like.

Children: square, large, yellow.

Let's go to the table and find the letter. Why do you think this is your letter? Explain your choice. (Children's answers).

Well done guys, you found the letter correctly. Let me read it.

"Hello guys. Piggy and Stepashka are writing to you. Our friend Karkusha has a birthday soon. We really want to give her gifts. We made beautiful beads and planted the flowerbed with Karkushi's favorite flowers. But it happened trouble: the beads were torn, and the flowers in the flowerbed withered. We were very upset. Please help us replant the flowers and collect the beads. Khryusha and Stepashka."

Guys, do you think we can help? (Yes) Let's make some beads for Karkusha.

A game "Wonderful bag".

(On the table there is a sheet with a drawn string for stringing beads - blocks.) I have a wonderful bag of beads. To remove a bead from a bag, you need to determine the shape and size of the bead by touch.

Well done boys. We have made very beautiful beads for Karkusha and now we can start planting flowers.

"Flowers".

(Hoops - flower beds, blocks - flowers.) There are cards on the flower beds - diagrams (color, shape, size). Children "planted" flowers, admire them, tell what flowers grew in the flowerbed.

Well done, we planted flowers for Karkusha. Guys, you've been working, you're tired, now you need to rest.

Physical education minute.

We took a walk by the flowerbed

And we were a little out of breath. We walk in place.

Let's stand up, take a deep breath,

Let's start the exercises.

Arms to the sides, forward. Arms spread to the sides, forward.

And then vice versa.

Miracles in our world:

The children became dwarfs and sat down.

And then everyone stood up together,

We have become giants.

This is how we clap together. Clap your hands.

And we stomp our feet! We stomp our feet.

Well we had a walk

And not at all tired! We walk in place.

Guys, let's make a gift for Piggy and Stepashka. We'll send it to them treats: Khryusha - cookies, Stepashka - candy.

"Present".

Gift boxes. Arranged on trays blocks: cookies and sweets. Children put cookies and candies into boxes based on color and shape.

You quickly collected sweets for Piggy and Stepashka. I think they will be delighted with your gifts.

Guys, today we were able to help Khryusha and Stepashka? (Yes) How did we do it?

Summary of the plot-didactic game with Dienesh blocks in the senior group. Summary of the plot-didactic game with Dienesh blocks in the senior group. GOALS: Development of logical thinking and mental functions, formation.

In classes with Dienesh blocks, cards are used that contain information in symbolic form about the characteristics of a figure (size, color, shape, thickness):

• color is indicated by a spot
• size - silhouette of the house (large, small).
• shape - outline of figures (round, square, rectangular, triangular).
• thickness - a conventional image of the human figure (thick and thin).

In addition to cards that depict the properties of a figure, there are cards with the negation of properties: for example: “not blue.”

Cards can be used not only as an addition to Dienesh blocks, but also as independent material for games. Classes with such cards help develop the child’s ability to decipher information about the presence or absence of certain properties of objects based on their symbolic designations. Below are some examples of activities with flashcards.

Introduction to cards

The child is shown a card with one or more properties depicted on it. For example,

• if a child is shown a “red spot,” then all red blocks must be put aside;
• “red spot and one-story house” - set aside all the red small figures;
• “a red spot, a one-story house and a square silhouette” - these are small red squares - thick and thin, etc.

Game “Find the dog”

Place 8 blocks in front of the child, hide the image of a dog under one. Using cards, make up an answer for the child - under what figure the dog was hiding. To find the dog, the child needs to decipher the properties of the figure shown on the cards (large red circle).

Game “Describe the figure”

Choose any block with your child. You describe the properties of this figure in words, and the child lays out cards with the corresponding characteristics of this figure.

Game “Treat”

The child treats his toys with “cookies” (figures). The cards are placed in a stack face down. The child takes any card from the pile. Finds a “cookie” with the same feature. Looks for another “cookie” that differs only in this attribute. He treats the doll to one “cookie” in his right hand, and another to his left hand.

For example: the “big” card fell out, the child chose a logical figure: a large blue square. Next, the child picks up the second “cookie”: a small blue square. Cookies vary in size.

If the child copes successfully, the task can be complicated - the difference is not in one, but in two, three and four characteristics.

Game “Drawing”

This game uses cards that represent properties and “non-properties”.

Draw a “blueprint” of the castle, with each element indicated by a card. Invite your child to build a castle according to your drawing.

For example:

• “castle foundation” - two non-blue rectangular blocks;
• “ground floor” - non-round non-red blocks;
• “second floor” - yellow non-triangular non-thin blocks;
• “roof” - red non-square blocks.

Logic cubes

In addition to logic blocks and cards, there are also logic cubes. On the faces of the cubes there are signs of blocks (size, color, shape, thickness), symbols for the negation of signs, as well as cubes with numbers on the faces. Logic cubes, like cards, offer a wide variety of games for children. The game becomes more exciting because it provides the ability to randomly select properties - tossing a die.

In addition, there is a wide variety of albums and study guides with Dienesh logic blocks, which offer ready-made game scenarios.

You can purchase them, make them yourself, or download them.
