Geometric handicrafts


Thinking about how to do some activity that for children was not too boring, I thought to do activities related to geometry but applying another matter or something to make them more enjoyable.

I think it would be a good option to make figures with cardboard of the different geometric shapes, so they will be doing crafts while learning mathematics, then with these crafts can calculate their areas, perimeters...

Geometry and fashion

Imagen
One of the most unsuspected places where you could find maths in haute couture, and yet have always been related, in many images are represented costumes with basic geometric figures, for example in Egyptian mural painting we find many geometric elements, the pectorals are circles, the crowns of Upper Egypt cones, the skirts (cylinders) ..., the omnipresent symmetry of the wardrobe, with the axis at the center of the chest. In the catwalks, the geometry is very present, in any design we can find some figurative geometrical form, the stylists try to look for a perfection and a symmetry conjugating the figures with the garments The symmetry is related to fashion since both designers seek perfection and mathematicians seek mathematical perfection

Geometry in real life

The dictionary says that geometry is the study of the properties and measurements of figures in the plane or in space. Cities, neighborhoods, streets, squares and even our homes fit this definition adequately, extending it to the concept of urban geometry. The urban landscape is pure geometry, where architecture, geography, civil engineering, sociology, demography, economics and other disciplines are related to order and size spaces. In fact, when we look at the urban landscape, based on the very definition of geometry, it is easy to see that it breaks down into countless geometric figures (rectangles, cubes, curves, ellipses, etc.) that, taken as a whole, are the ones that get Shape it, making it different from other places and giving it a unique personality that allows the observer to define it. In our daily life, perhaps we do not realize it, but we are surrounded by geometric figures, everywhere and in everything we see we can find a circle, a triangle, a hexagon, the questi...

Geometry at home

Since we was children we have always played with geometry, maybe without realizing. Nowadays, children play a lot of video games and do not play as in the past, with their own hands, building and with differents figures.  I remember when I played as a child, we had some plastic figures that fix between them and we could form buildings or similar things, these figures new shaped like triangles, rectangles, stars...  These type of games I think suit you well for children, because since childhood are familiar with geometric shapes, besides that this type of games can help your motor development and have fun.
