There is geometry in the humming of the strings and there is music in the spacing of the spheres.

Repeating the words someone said a long time ago, "If mathematics and music have something in common, it is that both need the creativity to be developed" (Einstein, 1930) Have you ever thought on the relation that music and geometry have? Future teachers, students or curious people in general... You are in the RIGHT PLACE! Be ready to learn something new. Let's take a look on this interesting aspect... Everyday we can learn something new. ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ As a musician, I am really glad to explain you some ideas related to the geometry and, of course, as it is the topic of this entry, the music and its relations.  Through the music, as teachers, we can work with our students in an transdisciplinary way. It can be strange at first, but music and geometry let us establish relations between the contents and the reality, our daily life. It is a practical experience, also dynamic and, apart from everythin...

As I previously established on my Introductory entry, I pretend to make the readers of this blog think on the importance of Geometry in Primary Education but, appart from them, make you concious of the variety of ways in which we can teach Geometry to our students. When we are general teachers, but specifically as Geometry teachers, we should try to arouse our students interest, make them learn in a funny way and guarantee that the classes are enjoyable and assure the learning process.  Considering all the statements before...  Why don't you follow the advices I am going to give you? The actual curriculum of Primary Education is based on the acquisition of competences, not being the contents the only thing considered. Attending to this specification and trying to make the learning process enjoyable for the student we have a really new method discovered which is the... "GAMIFICATION" . If we want to be active teachers, help our students to learn...

Hello everybody and welcome to my blog! !! I will start introducing myself. My name is Francisco Gil García, I am 20 years old and I am student of 3ºB in the Primary Bilingual teaching degree in the University of Málaga, Faculty of Education and Psycology (UMA). This blog is for the subject Didactics of Geometry. As the name of the subject states, the contents of the blog will be related to the Geometry, a really important part of Mathematics. However, I won't talk about theoretical aspects all the time. I invite you to take a look on the following posts/entries in which we will learn a lot of interesting issues together.  The name of this new blog is  "There is geometry in the humming of the strings and there is music in the spacing of the spheres"  - Pythagoras. It is strange to see a quote as a main title for a blog but, why not? This quote relates my passion, the music, with the are that is object of study, the geometry. I can guarantee you that this ...
