The importance of geometry

Hi again! Here you have some important points that describe the importance of geometry.

• As you know, we live in a three-dimensional world in which we can find geometric shapes everywhere, squares, circles, cubes, spheres... Because of that, our students need to learn vocabulary about shapes in order to be able to talk about what they see. 

• Another use of geometry is spatial orientation. It is very important to teach our students how to read a map being able to move from one position to other. Moreover, this content allows us to create dynamic and interesting activities that students will enjoy a lot. 

• Geometry is also present in art, for instance, decorating your house you pay attention to geometric shapes and the concept of symmetry, which is in our daily life. 

• Finally, one of the most important concepts about geometry is the development of spatial or visual thinking, which enables the students to think from pictures, organize their ideas and explain them through mental pictures. This can be developed, for instance, practising the imagination of geometric shapes in your mind. 

I leave you here a video really interesting about what geometry is and the importance of geometry in our daily life. I hope you like it!
