A través del web volem facilitar les explicacions, les orientacions, les guies, les lectures, els contextos històrics, els suggeriments i les preguntes de cada mòdul. Estem elaborant material per cadascun dels mòduls i, a poc a poc, seguirem ampliant aquest apartat. Us animem a col·laborar en aquesta tasca de recopilació i documentació. Feu-nos arribar els comentaris i suggeriments.
GEOMETRY
The curves that are obtained by rolling circumferences of different sizes.
The tables where using 4 mirrors we see all the important polyhedras.
Look at the sections of objects illuminated by the red LEDs of this ring.
It varies the angle of the mirrors and thus creates the different polygons.
Try putting the tetraeder and octahedre in the cube.
Two balls, one low in a straight line, the other curving. What's the point before?
Put the blue poles, perpendicular to the edges of the dodecaedre to build the icosaedre.
With all the pieces we build 3, 2 or 1 equilateral triangles
The artisanal wooden cone that shows its sections: Circumference, ellipse, parabola and hyperbola.
With the same pieces, it reconstructs two polygons.
Six boxes with interior mirrors that allow you to see a huge variety of mosaics.
The old known multiplication table, turned into sculpture.
A tiled tiles with tiles in the form of a lizard designed by the artist M. Escher.
Multiple ways to visualize and understand this famous theorem
A non-periodic tiling.
Build polyhedras with magnetized pieces.
Build this bridge, without any support, devised by Leonardo
How do more cylinders fit?
In gridded mesh or in triangular mesh.
We raise these arches with pillows.
A surprising room where geometry makes things change in size.
Workshop where these self-sustaining structures are built.
How do the lengths, surfaces and volumes of similar objects change?
Strategy, combinatorics
Three rings to link them in a very special way.
Displaying numeric properties with buckets and other pieces.
It is necessary to move the tower by moving the discs one by one and always leaving the little ones on the grains.
Put the pieces so that the colors are not on the side. It is a version of the 4 color theorem.
Make as many different sets as possible got-spoon-knife.
The puzzle of rebuilding the chessboard that seems difficult, but that the organization facilitates.
Put the skyscrapers taking into account how many you see from each position.
With the chain we take a tour that passes through all the vertices of the dodecaedre
Put the fences of the pens, the figures indicate the amount of fences around them.
Place the 16 pieces without either repeating colors or numbers in rows or columns.
