Among the items that have posted my students are some who, if not represent exactly the model we have studied geometry, develop the intellect, curiosity and desire to learn.
No less interesting his playful orientation as a means of approach to knowledge, and above all makes us think about other ways to approach them exploiting its foci of interest.
In this case the item is “Men of Thales”, curious name refers to one of the fathers of the metric geometry.
Thales for Men
| This section is devoted to mathematical games. They are games, lateral thinking or deduction, in which by applying small algebraic rules obtained solution. One example is the quintessential sudoku, though you can find many games. Here we give some examples and history: |
EL Tangram |
|
| The Tangram is a mathematical graphic game of Chinese origin. There is no clear origin, or whence its name. It was used in medieval Chinese women and children for fun and Puzzle. His first written references dating from the eighteenth century, but it was very popular before. Comprising 7 pieces are called "Tans" and the game is to get different figures based make combinations with parts. Currently used in many areas of knowledge, such as philosophy, psychology, the mathematics pedagogy, inter. A variant known as egg trangam, in which the initial shape is oval parts. | |

EL SUDOKU |
It's a hobby mathematician who became popular in Japan in 1986 y su experiment "boom" en 2005. The game involves completing a grid of 9 × 9 boxes following a set of rules that complicate, in some cases, until it unsolvable. In a sudoku to solve a series of numbers are written and considered the "clues" to solve. The 9 × 9 grid is divided into 9 grids under 3 × 3 which are called regions. The game involves placing 9 different things (overall numbers since they do simpler), so these nine things can not be repeated within a region, or in a row, or in a column. It requires a series of logical skills usually develop with practice. |

| It is a math game that was invented in 1980 by sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Is a cube in which their faces are divided into 9 boxes that can rotate freely. The objective of the game is to get, descolocar after the initial order in which each side is a different color, ese return to state. It is definitely the ultimate math game, the most extended, as it is estimated to have sold about 350 replicas million since its invention. Currently they have developed many versions of this game, among which are 2x2x2 cubes, 4x4x4 y 5x5x5. | |
