On the road to knowledge with music for 3 to 6 year olds!

Today, we are going on a journey to discover math in building.

Pictures of our little adventurers in action - can you come and play with them?

🎼 Ready to move, sing and dream?

This first melody will take you on a musical discovery of the world!

🎤 Move, sing, discover!

Let's get adventurous with this second soundtrack. 😀

🎙 Read the lyrics to our music:

The lyrics of the two songs are identical, only the melodies are different.

The adventure begins with a story and discoveries for 6 - 8 year olds!

📝 Quick summary of key information

Math is very useful when you build projects. It helps you measure and calculate the right sizes. For example, if you want to build a house with Lego, math helps you know how many bricks you need and how to place them so everything is balanced.

Math helps to check that things are balanced. Imagine you are building a tower with blocks. If you are not careful, your tower might fall! Math helps you to divide the blocks equally so your tower stays up.

Math engineering is a subject that uses math to make plans better and solve big problems. For example, it helps build strong bridges and buildings that don't fall down. Engineers use math formulas to make sure everything is just right.

In short, math is important for building precise and strong projects. It helps to measure, calculate, divide, and check that everything is balanced. With math engineering, complex problems become easier to solve.

The Number Puzzle

How do maths help build more precise projects?

The Geometric Structure

After simulating a landslide‎ (1) with rocks and sand, Noa and Zoé understand the hidden dangers beneath our feet better. They discovered that even a tiny field mouse can be affected by these ground movements. By carefully observing their model, they realize the importance of knowing the ground well to build safely. However, their attention is now turned to a new challenge. Under a worksheet, a mathematical spiral symbol guides them to the Fab-Lab of Little Engineers, where Teacher Astucio is waiting. Today, they need to assemble a geometric‎ (2) structure‎ (3). To do this, they use a ruler, a compass, and calculations to adjust each piece. They will discover how math can make their projects even more precise and reliable.

With a big smile, Teacher Astucio says:
« Today, we are going to build a geometric shape. »

Noa, curious, asks:
« What is a geometric shape? »

Zoé, with a sly smile, explains:
« It is a shape with lines and angles. »

Noa looks at the pieces with interest. Zoé takes out her sketch tablet‎ (4) to draw the plans. Teacher Astucio explains that math helps us measure, calculate, divide, and check that objects are balanced‎ (5) and work properly. Noa and Zoé need to build a geometric shape. They use a ruler, a compass, and calculations to fit each piece.

Teacher Astucio, with a careful look, says:
« Each piece must be perfectly lined up so that the structure is stable. »

Under a worksheet, a math spiral symbol guides them to a new challenge hidden in the Fab-Lab…

The Number Challenge

Curious, they follow the symbol to the Connected Cabin. Inside, they find a series of math puzzles. Noa and Zoé are excited to start.

Noa, eyes sparkling, exclaims:
« Look, Zoé! It's a number puzzle! »

Zoé, after looking at the puzzles, says:
« Yes, we need to find the right answer. Let's try together. »

They start solving the puzzles. They add, subtract, multiply and divide to find the answers. Each solved puzzle gives them a clue for the next one. They feel more and more confident.

Noa, smiling, says:
« It's easy, Zoé! We found the answer. »

Zoé, with an encouraging smile, says:
« Yes, let's keep going. We're doing great. »

But suddenly, they come across a very difficult puzzle. They need to find the missing number in a complex sequence. After several tries, they finally discover the answer. Their persistence and math skills have helped them overcome this challenge once again.

With their geometric structure finished and the puzzles solved, a new adventure is offered to Noa and Zoé. Under a worksheet, a math spiral symbol guides them to a new challenge hidden in the Fab-Lab. They now need to imagine a sustainable‎ (6) city. For their final mission, a city model with solar panels, shared gardens, and eco-friendly houses is built. They learn how every detail can make a city more planet-friendly. Using math, the best arrangement‎ (7) of buildings is calculated to maximize solar energy and minimize environmental impact. Their adventure at the Fab-Lab of Little Engineers showed them how important math is for building precise and sustainable projects. They leave the Fab-Lab with new skills and great pride, ready to take on new challenges.
