Tangram

 


Tangram is a puzzle made up of 7 geometric pieces: a parallelogram (rhomboid), a square and 5 triangles. The aim of this game is to create figures using the 7 pieces and avoiding overlapping them. 
That is why I think it is very appropriate to use this activity in the classroom, as well as familiarising children with different geometric shapes, it is a good tool for developing their spatial sense and visual perception. 
Below I attach a video that explains and exemplifies different figures that can be carried out.

Hello everyone!😉 I'm Marieta and this is my geometry blog, a space where I will share different news, curiosities and interesting facts about this subject I'm taking in 3rd year of my degree. I hope we learn and share a lot together about the subject and that it serves as a tool, it is a pleasure to start this little geometric adventure.  Hola a todos 😉  Soy Marieta y este es mi blog de geometría, un espacio donde compartiré diferentes noticias, curiosidades y datos interesantes sobre esta asignatura que estoy cursando en 3º de carrera. Espero que aprendamos y compartamos mucho juntos sobre la asignatura y que nos sirva de herramienta, es un placer empezar esta pequeña aventura geométrica.

Geometric art

Imagen
 Did you know that there are artists who make geometric art? And what is geometric art, you may ask?  Well, this is an artistic tendency that consists of combining compositions using different geometric shapes to create different types of results through them, there are abstract paintings, sculptures, realism, etc. This trend is becoming more and more common and characteristic, that is why here are some of my favorite artists related to this trend along with a significant and representative work of each one, I hope yours! - Luján Marcos -  Pilar Barrios - Geray Mena - Valentino Sibadon - Marco Moreira

Enlargements and reductions

Imagen
One topic I had to bring to the classroom during my internship at La Presentación School was enlargements and reductions. In particular, my classroom was quite disinterested in mathematics and I thought of doing it in a more manipulative way. To do this I divided the class into groups of 5 and assigned each group a colour.  After that, I gave each group a set of geometric figures of the colour they had been assigned. The task of each group was to write down the name and size of each of the shapes and then make an enlargement and a reduction of each of them. Finally, a joint mural is made by all the groups where the different shapes are stuck together with their corresponding enlargements and reductions and the process and the result is explained next to each one of them.  The final result is a poster that can be put up in the classroom as decoration to keep the process in mind.
