KNOT THEORY WITH YOUNG CHILDREN.

The article presents some basic concepts from knot theory as a natural extension of commonly-taught geometric ideas in Great Britain. Accordingly, the paper discusses the three basic knot theory activities that are appropriate for elementary grade children. The paper also suggests that students must try to come up with their own knots by starting with an actual rope, or else with flat drawings and experiment it with different crossing combinations to see if new knots can be discovered.
