Did you know about triangle different meanings?

Imagen
Hello everybody!  As my second post, I have created a presentation about a curiosity of the triangles. These shapes have developed a very important role during history because the first studies of the triangles began 3000 years ago.  There are plenty of studies about triangles as it is a very interesting figure because it has a lot of areas that can be studied. Also, this shape is the protagonist of different theorems so it presented many challenges to mathematics along the history of maths. For this reason, triangles has been given different kind of meanings during all this years, would you like to know them? Here you can access to the presentation:  https://www.canva.com/design/DAGkH0Dj8q8/W4_foUvc9YojYNCZMAf6BQ/edit?utm_content=DAGkH0Dj8q8&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton Here you can find a video about triangles' meanings:  That is all for today. Thank you so much, I will see you soon! References:  Bravo, D. (2023)...

When did geometry appear?

Hello guys! As my first post, I will give you some information about geometry origins :). Geometry appeared because of the studies of mathematicians in order to understand shapes or space measures. This primitive type of geometry emerged in the ancient Egyptian civilisation, Babylon and it was improved by the Greek population. In the sixth century B.C, a mathematician called Pythagoras, started to develop different types of laws that explained a huge number of questions such as Pythagoras theorem. This theorem shows that the squared hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of its remaining sides squared.  Euclides was a Greek mathematician who wrote a book about polygons, circles and their three-dimensional figures. The book was called The elements and this text has been a geometry reference through history until nowadays.  The first geometry problems were introduced as the population needed to find out solutions in order to have an effective building construction....

Introduction

 Hello everybody! 🫶🏻 My name is Paula Carvajal Martín, I am 21 years old and I am from Málaga.   I am studying the third course of a double degree based on Primary Education and English Studies and I belong to the F group.  Regarding my hobbies, I believe that I am a very simple person. I am a big fan of practising any kind of sport, I am very keen on running and I train this sport every week. Also, I love listening to music, specially songs from past decades because I think it is very interesting to discover new types of music. Besides, one of my favourite things to do, is watching movies or series in original version as I enjoy learning new languages very much.  Finally, I would like to add some comments about what I expect from this subject. I consider that teaching geometry is a difficult work as it is not given enough importance at schools and this area is key in terms of helping students in their real life.  I hope that this subject allows me to learn th...
