Development of a Toy-Making Workshop program incorporatingmathematical elements and Toy Design

我们为孩子们开发了一个玩具制作工作坊计划，目标是综合教育效果，以提高创造性/逻辑思维能力，以及在“艺术”和“数学”方面的整体学习成绩。本研究表明，举办一次解释玩具运动背后的原理的讲习班的有效性，以及制定涉及制作集几种功能于一体的玩具的讲习班主题的意义。我们设计了这些包含了这些数学和物理元素的原始玩具，并在许多展览上展示了它们。

We developed a toy-making workshop program for children targeting combined educational effects to improve creative/logical thinking and overall academic performance in both “arts” and “mathematics.” The present study showed the effectiveness of holding a workshop explaining the principles behind toy movements and the significance of developing workshop themes involving the making of toys which integrate several functions. We designed these original toys incorporating these mathematical and physical elements and displayed them at a number of exhibitions.
