Abstract
Geometry is basically concerned with conversion of graphics in space. The spatial abilities of the students can be enhanced through geometrical teaching. In geometry, the teaching and learning process can be made interesting by using puzzles games. The present study was conducted to study the effect of tangram puzzles on students’ achievement in geometry at primary level. The study was experimental in nature. The experiment was conducted in a private school of urban area of district Rawalpindi. There were total 46 students in grade four. These were divided into two groups (controlled group, experimental group). Duration of the experiment was three weeks. Cognitive domain of Bloom Taxonomy was selected to evaluate the students’ achievement. Four levels of cognitive domain were selected which were Knowledge, Comprehension, Application and Analysis. For the analysis of data independent sample t-test was used. Significant difference in the achievement of students of both the group (controlled and experimental) was observed at Knowledge, Application, Analysis level of Bloom Taxonomy. While no significant difference in students’ achievement was observed at Comprehension level. It was concluded that tangram puzzles are helpful teaching aids. It is being recommended that these puzzles should be added in teachers’ training programs.
