Sudoku-150x150Among 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

Sudoku-150x150
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.

HANOI TOWERS

TORRES-DE-HANOI-300x199It is a puzzle invented 1883 by the French mathematician Éduard Lucas. Comprising 3 sticks or "towers" and a set of 8 increasing diameter circular parts. The game is to reassemble the original tower, that goes from larger to smaller upstream, following a set of rules. It is reglas sound:

  1. You can only move one disc at a time.
  2. A larger disk can not rely on one smaller than himself.
  3. You can only move the disc is on top on each rod.

It is a very popular game and is featured in many books of introduction to the theory of algorithms.

NIM GAMES

NIMNim games are a series of identical sets of features which consist of a series of "sticks" placed in a certain way in which two players are circling "sticks" and win that removes the last stick. It is a very popular game in which you can always win if followed, for example, binary system. There is no clear origin, as some scholars place in Asia, Europe and other. Its name comes from Old English and means "remove".

RUBIK CUBE

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.
