Clean Slate TV Announces New Irish Language Mathematics Series for Children
Date Posted: September 18, 2024
Clean Slate TV is thrilled to announce the launch of “Mat na Maitice,” the very first Irish language live-action mathematics series aimed at children aged 5-9 years. The series will premiere on Foghlaim TG4 this September and was backed by Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund.
“Mat na Maitice” is designed to make everyday mathematical concepts accessible and engaging for young audiences. The series will focus on fundamental topics such as counting, sequences, shapes, patterns, measurements, and equalities. By presenting these concepts through relatable characters and real-life scenarios, the twelve-episode series aims to help children overcome common challenges and develop a love for mathematics.
Each episode begins with a short title sequence introducing Mat, a ten-year-old boy who struggles with maths. Each programme finds Mat initially baffled by a maths conundrum, but with the help of his younger sister, Siún, who happens to be a maths genius, he discovers the answer. The learning objectives of the programme are then introduced before the audience embarks on a learning journey with Mat and Siún. The audience will see Mat spending time with friends, family, and other characters who help him solve mathematical problems in fun, everyday scenarios.
“Mat na Maitice” which was funded by Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund promises to be an engaging and educational series that will make mathematics fun and accessible for young children. Clean Slate TV is excited to bring this innovative series to Foghlaim TG4 this and looks forward to inspiring a new generation of maths enthusiasts in the weeks ahead with thanks to Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund and TG4.
Sraith Nua Matamaitice Gaeilge do Pháistí á fógairt ag Clean Slate TV
Tá lúchair ar Clean Slate TV a fhógairt go bhfuil an tsraith úrnua “Mat na Maitice” le craoladh, an chéad sraith matamaitice beo-ghníomhaíochta Gaeilge dírithe ar pháistí idir 5-9 mbliana d’aois. Craolfar an tsraith den chéad uair ar Foghlaim TG4 i mí Mheán Fómhair na bliana seo le tacaíocht ó Chiste Craoltóireachta Gaeilge Scáileán Thuaisceart Éireann.
Tá “Mat na Maitice” deartha chun go mbeidh teacht níos fusa ag lucht féachana óg ar choincheapa laethúla matamaitice agus le go mbeidh sé tarraingteach dóibh chomh maith. Díreofar sa tsraith ar thopaicí bunúsacha amhail próisis sa mhatamaitic, tuiscint ar uimhir, tomhais, cruth agus spás. Tá sé mar aidhm ag an tsraith de dhá chlár déag cuidiú le páistí dúshláin choitianta a shárú agus grá a fhorbairt don mhatamaitic. Déanfar é seo trí charachtair a thuigfidh siad a chur i láthair agus trí scéalta ón bhfíorshaol a insint.
Cuirtear tús le gach clár le seicheamh gearrtheideal ina gcuirtear Mat in aithne, buachaill deich mbliana d’aois a bhíonn ag streachailt leis an matamaitic. I ngach clár, bíonn gné éigin den mhatamatic nach dtuigeann Mat. Tarlaíonn sé go bhfuil sárbhua na matamaitice ag a deirfiúr óg, Siún, agus cuidíonn sí leis teacht ar an réiteach sa deireadh.
Cuirtear cuspóirí foghlama an chláir isteach ansin sula dtéann an lucht féachana ar aistear foghlama le Mat agus Siún. Feicfidh an lucht féachana Mat ag caitheamh ama lena chairde, lena theaghlach, agus le carachtair eile a chuidíonn leis fadhbanna matamaitice a réiteach i gcásanna spraíúla laethúla.
Is sraith spéisiúil oideachasúil é “Mat na Maitice” a dhéanfaidh an mhatamaitic spraíúil do pháistí óga agus a ligfidh dóibh í a thuiscint níos fearr. Tá Clean Slate TV ar bís an tsraith nuálach seo a thabhairt chuig Foghlaim TG4 agus tá muid ag súil le glúin nua díograiseoirí matamaitice a spreagadh sna seachtainí amach romhainn a bhuí le Ciste Craoltóireachta Gaeilge Scáileán Thuaisceart Éireann agus TG4.
