WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THIS TYPE OF BLOGS?

After years of debate and uncertainty, numerous studies from different countries show that geometry is neglected in primary school and that the acquisition of geometric and spatial knowledge is underestimated.

Sometimes, mathematics classes are set up around problem-solving or counting, while work with geometry seems to be absent. Moreover, difficulties in understanding geometric figures and bodies are reinforced didactically by the almost exclusive presentation of stereotyped representations. The fact that a pupil learns geometry goes beyond the fact that he or she can recognise, name and represent figures and bodies. What should be done is to encourage the search for relationships between their elements, through observation, comparison and construction. Students should be able to verbalise and write down the relationships they discover, proposing hypotheses and discussing them in class. 

The aim is for teaching to be based on problem-solving, to be dynamic rather than static, encouraging activities that tend to enrich the concepts and conceptual images of the geometric objects they are studying. 

This blog has not only provided necessary and useful knowledge for geometry lessons, but has also given examples of activities that are easy to put into practice. It is essential that teachers are well-trained in the teaching of geometry and take an interest in it in order to awaken the interest of their students. 

The published entries have mainly dealt with art in painting, and to a lesser extent with fashion and photography. However, my classmates have blogged about the relationship between geometry and places in the world, nature, ballet, etc. 

Resources such as these digital platforms should be disseminated among teachers so that they do not remain a simple class project and can be converted into didactic units or group dynamics.
