Computer resources that motivate children!

We live in a world surrounded by technology and the students we have in the future will have been born submerged in this age where we can not understand the world without a computer or a mobile phone. As teachers we have to reflect what is happening in society when it comes to teaching our students as it is the only way to prepare them for life. Taking these facts into account, I think it would be illogical not to take advantage of the tools offered by the computers, mobiles, Internet ... So it would be ideal to use these resources with many different objectives. The main objective that I would have would be to compensate for the greater deficit that mathematics has in the centers of our country: MOTIVATION. We all know that students find it much more attractive than being listened to the teacher while he explains on the board and then they all do exercise 1, 2 and 3 of the textbook. So if we overcome that barrier and we managed to find the applications needed to understand th...

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 thin...

To motivate our students is the first step!

Mathematics and geometry have always been one of the subjects that less sympathy has aroused among the students of the world's schools and I believe that almost everyone will agree with what I say. Now, this will have some explanation, since it is not normal for so many students to agree on their difficulties in learning this subject or what little they like. After some time reflecting on this fact I came to the conclusion that the main culprit of this failure is the traditional teaching system that continues perpetuating generation after generation. It is the same educational system that has caused thousands of young people to lose interest in a subject ... in various subjects ... in all subjects, causing them to abandon their studies. That is why it is in our hands, that of the future teachers, to change this obsolete system and to make the students come back to enjoy in class and, in addition, to know that they work with things they will need throughout their lives. ...
