Geometry is always around us

As I said in the previous post, we have to end the traditional practices that are carried out in the school, since these do not have positive results for all the students.

I do not want my students to practice what I teach them following step by step the instructions of the book and doing the activities of the same, since from my experience I can say that in that way only learn to solve such exercises, since when We want to apply it in a closer area are not able.

Therefore, once you have shown the different basic geometric figures in an interactive way and after having all your doubts, I would show you the following video:

In this video you will have discovered that geometry is fully integrated in our world, so from there we would dedicate ourselves to discover among all the different geometric figures that we can find around the school so that the students continue observing and learning.

In cases where we want them to look at a particular figure, the most correct thing would be to use the VTS (Visual Thinking Strategy) by asking them questions so that they reflect on what they see and try to arrive together at a conclusion.

Finally I would send them a small task, which would consist of taking photographs of their houses and some nearby buildings they like so we can work it in class in the next session.
