Excursion to the Alhambra: Mosaics

Imagen
A good idea to give the pupils a change of scenery is to take them on an excursion. In this case, it has occurred to me that an activity I myself did when I was little and which involved a lot of cross-curricular content and in particular, geometry was an outing to the Alhambra where we were able to contemplate numerous mosaics.  Well then, I think that an interesting idea could be to go on this excursion and, in groups, take photos of the geometric shapes they find, with special emphasis on the mosaics. After that, in the next maths session, they will take the photographs they have taken and create their own mosaics based on what they have seen. Later, the different compositions will be shared and used to decorate the classroom.

Visit to the football field

Imagen
I think that this didactic proposal would be a good option to work on different areas of the subject with transversal contents such as Physical Education, Mathematics and Art Education. Specifically in the mathematical field we can find: Axial symmetry, magnitudes: area, angular amplitude and length and types of figures. 1. Visit a football pitch and calculate the area and perimeters of the markings on it.  2. After having seen what a football pitch looks like, design different playing fields using different plane figures, draw on them what the halfway line, the areas and the goals would be. If the pitch were shaped like any other polygon, would it be equally symmetrical? Investigate by folding and mark the line that would correspond to the axis of symmetry where possible.  3. Work on identifying the types of lines and polygons in the fields designed from the previous activities.
