GEOMETRY AT SCHOOL

The main plane geometric figures are:  CIRCLE The circle is a figure that is made by plotting a curve that is always at the same distance from a point that we call center. The line that borders the circle is called circumference.  TRIANGLE The triangle is a figure that is formed by 3 straights that are called sides. There are different ways to classify the triangles, according to their sides or angles. According to its angles: Rectangle: It has a right angle, i.e., it measures 90 º Acute: It has 3 sharp angles, i.e. they measure less than 90 º Obtusangulo: It has an obtuse angle, i.e. it measures more than 90 º According to its sides: Equilateral: The 3 sides measure the same  Isosceles: It has 2 equal measuring sides and another uneven Scalene: It has no equal side RECTANGLE The rectangle is a figure formed by 4 straights called sides.

Here you have some interesting resources on geometry to learn and practice independently of the level you wish. In addition, the videos will help you acquire knowledge on any aspect: ALL ABOUT GEOMETRY GEOMETRY AT HOME GEOMETRY STEP BY STEP

One of the Montessori areas that we can do to reach our children at home in a simple and especially very economical way, is the call of "practical Life". With this matter children practise all those activities that will make them a little more independent, like pouring water from a jug, eating with the spoon, tying their shoes, buttoning their clothes, etc. In the activity that today I show you combine on the one hand the practice of buttoned and on the other the learning of the forms, initiating the small ones in the geometry. Montessori propose this button panel in which they use pieces of cloth in different ways. Here and you can start working the shapes of the felts that should button. As you see the construction is very simple, but we want to expand the possibilities, to make it more complete: 1. If we use buttons of the same colours as the felt shapes, we can add colour matching. 2. Using also shape buttons, you can add colour and/or shape mat

Geometry is one of the oldest sciences. Initially, it constituted a body of practical knowledge in relation to the lengths, areas and volumes. In ancient Egypt it was very developed, according to the texts of Herodotus, Strabo and Diodoro Siculus, Euclid, in the 3rd century BC. He set up geometry in axiomatic form, a treatment that established a norm to follow for many centuries: Euclidean geometry Described in the elements. Geometry as word has two Greek roots: Geo = earth and Metrón = measure; I mean, it means "earth measurement." Its origin, some three thousand years before Christ, goes back to the Middle East, in particular to ancient Egypt, in which it was necessary to measure agrarian land and in the construction of pyramids and monuments. This geometric conception was accepted without demonstration, it was the product of the practice. This knowledge passed to the Greeks and it was Thales of Miletus who about 6 centuries before Christ began demonstrative geometr

Geometry represents the mathematics of space and form, which is the basis of all the things that exist. Understanding it is a necessary step to understand how the world is built. Most people have high school geometry classes and learn about triangles and vertical angles. Its application in real life is not always evident to teenagers, but the reality is that geometry is infiltrated in each aspect of our daily life. In the real world geometry is found everywhere. Some examples are buildings, airplanes, automobiles and maps. The houses are made of basic geometric structures. Some skyscrapers have windows made of rectangles and squares. The John Hancock Tower in Chicago is created with a huge cube. In a car, tires and lights are circular. The great Pyramids of Egypt are made of geometric shapes. To summarize, I would like to point out some main fields of our society in which geometry takes part: Construction Education Medicine   Architecture   Fashion   Aliment

What is a Webquest? ICT can provide exceptional support for facilitating interaction and communication between teachers and students, between teachers and dicentes. The WebQuest is a learning methodology that, using the resources available on the Internet, allows students to investigate, discover and transform knowledge. It is a didactic strategy that also contributes to: To promote critical thinking Develop creativity Reflect on decision making    Develop cognitive capacities   Enhance various skills Through the WebQuest is collaborated in a useful learning process, Easy and fun. It has been devised for students to develop their thinking through processes of analysis, synthesis, contrast, verification and evaluation. They are also used in tasks that motivate students in real-world issues, seek information to use it effectively, and find solutions to practical problems. A Webquest is composed of six basic parts: Introduction, Task, process, resources, evaluatio

For those who still walk undecided. I know the choice must be free and each one has to weigh the pros and cons, but it is worth listening. As people all make mistakes, but I assure you that every day we try to give everything for education and development in general of "Our-your" children. Although sometimes the decisions of the administration do not accompany me. Looking for the network I found this portal MAPFRE Foundation with a large amount of resources for families, children and teachers. As it says on its website, the objective is to provide a service to society through the transmission and dissemination of health-related materials, accident prevention and environmental conservation. This page is quite interesting to the parents. They will learn more about their children and how to confront the adversities: http://www.cyberpadres.com/ I think interesting this video. It explains step by step how to control the access to the Internet of children, bo

Hi students!  I'm going to be your geometry teacher in your digital, interactive lives. So let's start to learn about all I'll write in this blog! I hope you enjoy this experience and lead the fear to maths. Nice to meet you, The teacher Pedro.
