Project “7 – magic and magic”
- March 3, 2014
Conference “Project activity in an educational institution - 2014”
Nomination “Children’s project in elementary school”
Topic: 7 – magic and enchantment.
Problem: In ancient times, the number 7 was held in high esteem. Even now, in many proverbs, sayings, and sayings, the “seven” is used: “Measure seven times, cut once,” “Seven do not wait for one,” etc. So why was the number 7 of such great interest to people? What is its meaning and sacred power?
Purpose : to study the magical properties of the number 7.
Task: Find as many facts as possible that reflect the magical properties of the number 7.
Hypothesis: The number 7 has magical properties.
Stages of our project:
- Collection of information.
- Study.
- Results.
Main part
Stage one. Collection of information.
Once upon a time, 7 was the limiting number, as confirmed by the proverbs “The bow of seven ailments”, “Seven do not wait for one”, where “7” is used to mean “everything”.
7 has become a sacred number. It was considered magical. Perhaps this was also explained by the fact that a person perceives the world around him (light, sounds, smells, taste) through 7 “holes” in the head (2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 nostrils, mouth).
Stage two. Study .
While collecting information, I came to the conclusion that ancient people revered the number 7, for them it was mysterious and not fully understood, but they still believed in its power.
I wonder how people feel about this number now, whether seven occurs in our lives and speeches.
I'll try to research this. To begin with, I decided to conduct a survey among my acquaintances, friends, relatives, where they encounter the number 7 . The survey results showed that the number 7 is most often encountered when uttering catchphrases, proverbs, sayings to characterize any type of activity.
For example:
1. Measure 7 times, cut 1 time
2. 7 nannies have a child without an eye
3. On cloud nine
4. Sip jelly 7 miles away
5. 7 spans in the forehead
Also, the number 7 is used to indicate the number of wonders of the world, namely the 7 wonders of the world .
People associate the birth of the New World with the number 7
The most basic ideas about the number 7 are: 7 days of the week, 7 notes in music, 7 colors of the rainbow.
My friends and I really love watching and reading fairy tales. The titles of the fairy tales also contain 7: “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats”, “The Flower of the Seven Flowers”, “The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights”, “Seven-league Boots”.
Also, my friends and I found out that the number 7 also appears in poems.
I cited one of G. Kaytukov’s poems that we liked:
In the crowded sky on a starry night I found seven bright points. seven burning eyes, they are called a ladle...
The number 7 has 2 more meanings:
7 – the number of stars that make up the Ursa Major bucket.
7 is the age at which almost all children begin school.
How does the number 7 affect a person himself?
From additional literature, I learned that the number 7 is considered the number of luck. People whose date of birth includes this number are considered diligent and have well-developed intuition. Children who were born with 7 in the date become great composers, writers, musicians and poets.
In addition, I learned that 7 has a magical effect on the human brain, namely, the meaning where 7 appears is simpler and easier to remember.
Together with teacher Grazhdantseva S.V. conducted an experiment in a group. We asked the children in our group to write down any 10 words on a piece of paper, and then reconstruct this list from memory. The study showed that about 90% of the group (17 people) were able to remember 7 words from their list.
Based on this, the number 7 can be conditionally called the maximum capacity of our memory.
The writing of the number 7 by a certain person.
We, together with teacher Grazhdantseva S.V. revealed what kind of character the children of our group have.
I will give several examples confirming this fact.
1) The line does not cross the number, but stops on an inclined line. Such a person has the habit of postponing everything until later.
2) A long stroke in the underlining tells us that the person is putting himself in the foreground.
3) A seven with funny curls characterizes a romantic person who loves to have fun.
4) An even stroke crossing the number in the middle characterizes a reserved person who is confident in himself and stubbornly strives to achieve his goal.
In addition to all of the above, it is necessary to note the closer unity of the number 7 with man. This is family .
Stage three. Results.
As a result of the study, the magical properties of the number 7 were confirmed. I was interested in the magic of the number 7. I think that other numbers also carry a certain meaning, so I will not stop there and will continue my research.

But raising children in the national spirit is simply necessary. To do this, use proverbs and sayings. These are edifying genres of folklore, containing all the folk wisdom.

Marshak. Poems in a math lesson not only make children more interested. Poems in skillful hands develop children's memory, instill a love for their native word, and it is with the help of words that we turn to any science. A teacher who is preparing an open lesson for an elementary class can use poems about the number 7 to diversify the lesson and attract the attention of children and guests.

A fairy tale about the number 7
Seven colors of the rainbow
After the rain, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. Two boys saw a rainbow and argued:
– The most beautiful color of the rainbow is red, because I have a new red bicycle. “It would be nice if the whole rainbow were red,” said one boy.
- No, let the whole rainbow be green. “I have a favorite green car,” said the second boy.
They argued for a long time, and each considered his own color to be the best. Rainbow was upset when she heard this argument. She always thought that people liked all seven of her colors. Out of frustration, the rainbow melted forever, and people forgot how to rejoice.
- What to do? “It was I who offended the rainbow,” one boy said sadly.
- Do not be sad. Let’s ask number 7 to return all seven colors of the rainbow,” suggested the second boy.
Number 7, after listening to the boys, went to the artist and told him that the rainbow had disappeared.
“I will draw a rainbow if you, number 7, give me seven rainbow colors,” said the artist.
The number 7 cast a magic spell, and colors immediately appeared in front of the artist: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
The artist painted the picture for seven whole days of the week. When the picture was ready, a rainbow appeared in the sky again.
