Recorrido a lo largo del curso AICLE

En la siguiente creación educativa  (tiene audio), os cuento en resumidas cuentas mi paso por este curso que recomiendo a todo aquel que tenga la suerte de formar parte del proyecto bilingüe de su centro:

Welcoming negative numbers in 1st of ESO!

Welcoming negative numbers in 1^st of ESO!

The previously published unit “Integer numbers”, pretends students of 1^st of ESO Bilingual Mathematics to realize both the importance and the necessity of negative numbers in common day, as well as in other subjects that they are studying like natural and social sciences. This is why we start with an introductory class, in which we can force our students to think about, while we practice English (listening and speaking). We can try the following questions with the whole group: “Why negative numbers are necessary, give examples in common life, how are these situation correctly expressed in English: Underline the correspondent study guide in English and write down the examples collected on the board.” Doing the last proposition, they are practicing also reading and writing.

Some nice expressions and vocabulary should have been aroused here: 

Objetivos de los recursos utilizados en la unidad AICLE Integer numbers 1 ESO

Veamos cuales son los objetivos del uso de los recursos educativos en línea usados en la anterior unidad AICLE.

• Study guide and worksheet of exercises: Notas y ejercicios en inglés para que los alumnos trabajen con material en inglés. De esta forma están en contacto desde el primer momento con el idioma, practicando de forma natural la lectura, y empapándose de vocabulario casi sin darse cuenta. Los apuntes son estos:

• Worksheet AICLE style to practice English involved: Recurso disponible en http://libredisposicion.es/index.php/clic-aicle-1-eso.html Se trata de una ficha para trabajar expresamente el vocabulario y las expresiones matemáticas que se estudian en la unidad con el objetivo de reforzarlas. Una ficha especialmente pensada para trabajar con la auxiliar de conversación. Uno de los ejercicios es un dictado con huecos, de manera que los alumnos trabajarán también el listening aparte del Reading y el writing. También puede practicarse el speaking lanzando preguntas y pidiendo que lean.
• Worksheet to practice mental calculation involving integers: Mediante  la corrección oral, volvemos a practicar el listening y el speaking, terminando de consolidar los nombres de los números en inglés. http://www.libredisposicion.es/index.php/mental-calculation/278-mental-calculation-integer-numbers.html
•  Criss-cross: La sopa de letras, contenida en los ejercicios anteriores http://www.libredisposicion.es/index.php/1-eso-bilingual-maths-reviews/174-integers-numbers-powers-and-roots.html, tiene por objetivo ayudar al alumnado a memorizar el vocabulario básico, y de motivarle por tratarse de un juego para él.
