GEOMETRY IS EVERYWHERE

Today, I would like to talk you about the influence of geometry in the society. If we take a look just a moment to our surrounds, we can find a lot of geometric figures and we can realise that everything is formed by them. For example, the buildings are usually rectangles and their windows squares, even the traffic signals are made by geometric figures, such as circle, triangle, square, etc.   We are accustomed to these curiosities that we do not realise that everything has a geometric figure. Therefore, I consider that it is especially important to make see students pay attention to their surroundings and we can relate easily their daily life with those contents that we want to teach them. In this way, they will be more interested in learning geometry and will have a purpose of discovering by themselves through the use of geometry.

WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

Welcome! I am Lucrecia Díaz, currently, I am studying the third course of the degree of Primary Education at the University of Malaga. In this blog I will be focused specifically on geometry, I will post my reflections about the importance of geometry in our lives but also, with this blog, I will try to show you that teaching geometry should not be boring for children, there are many resources that we can find easily and transform this subject in something that it is interesting, practical and useful for us. Therefore, throughout my different entries, I will write a lot of ideas and curiosities that we can use in our classroom with the students in order to learn geometry in an interesting and dynamic way. I hope you learn a little more about geometry and enjoy reading my entries. I assure you that you will have a great time, so, what are you waiting for?
