| Summary: | In this article I analyze the understanding of geometrical figures that elementary school students put into practice when forming configurations with the tangram parts. I draw data from classroom observation of eighteen lessons in a fifth-grade class of a public elementary school located in Mexico City. I explain how this activity allows students to display numerous hypotheses, test their validity and re-elaborate them. I show how within this process, interaction among peers increases and enriches their involvement in the academic task. I conclude that the text supports the idea that learning geometrical figures necessarily implies hands-on manipulation of a variety of figures, such as those offered by the tangram. These characteristics allow students to contrast figures and therefore become aware of the properties of each one. |
