1st grade presentation reflection

Overall, the first grade presentations worked out really well. All the kids cooperated more than i would expect, and that should be by the fact that all of them were interacting. They really enjoyed the part of the activities, and my group heard some remarks like "this is too easy", therefore making us challenge them even more by putting the tangram togheter only with the shape's final form shadow only, without the outlines. As that was proven to be too hard, we started challenging them to work in a group and try forming one of the shapes displayed on the television screen. While they were working we started giving them tips and also repeating the Tangram rules: All shapes used, no overlapping and all of the pieces inside the shape's shadow. After they did aboput three of those our time was up. Overall this was a very good experience, since some kids were not cooperating and some were fighting for the tangram pieces (Each kid was given one piece), but that is normal. In the end i think they learned about them in a good way.
