In this post, we are going to learn about straight and curved lines which Euclid described and studied. Many, many years ago (more than 2,000 years) there was a culture to which we owe an important part of mathematics, Ancient Greece. It is likely that Euclid’s contribution was the most important. He collected everything that […]

In today’s post, we’re going to talk about geometric figures that, without us noticing, play a much bigger role in our lives than we think. We’ve looked at different geometric shapes in previous posts, you can see them here. How many geometric shapes can you find? Let’s look at some of them: A triangle is […]

In today’s post we will take a look at open and closed polygons. But first, we need to know what polygons are: polygons are several straight segments placed together. Polygons can be classified as open or closed. A polygon is open when the segments do not all connect at the beginning and end. That is, if […]

We’ve already seen some of the main geometric shapes in earlier posts. In this post, we’re going to look more in-depth at the circle. A circle is a geometrical shape that is made by drawing a curve that always has the same distance from the point that we refer to as the center. In just […]

Straight lines are key to recognizing shapes that we often see in the real world: geometric figures. In today’s post, we will classify geometric figures formed from straight lines and think about where we can find them. We’ll start with the simplest: Two Straight LinesCan you make a figure with two straight lines? Well, of […]

Today, we’re going to take a look at a shape that you definitely know already, but maybe you aren’t familiar with all of its main characteristics. I’m talking about the square. Geometric Shape: Square The square is a geometric shape that belongs to the quadrilateral family because it has 4 sides. The 4 sides are […]
