Let's Do It: Cut and Paste for Geometric Thinking
The Arithmetic Teacher, 1984Some of the very best geometric activities can be accomplished with very simple materials and minimal preparation. Each of the activities suggested in this article requires nothing more than some colored construction paper cut into simple shapes, some paste or glue, and large sheets of newsprint or art paper on which to paste designs.

Mathematical Thinking and Geometric Exploration in Africa and Elsewhere
Diogenes, 2004The editors asked me to contribute to the Benin symposium on the ‘Encounter Between Rationalities’ from the particular perspective of my research experience in ethnomathematics - the study of mathematical ideas and practices as embedded in their cultural contexts.

Geometric Thinking and the Geometry of Conics and Quadrics
2018This is a show-and-tell of what is essential exposure to geometry embedded in three examples, the quadric on three skew lines and stationary distances between conics and quadrics. With geometry one generalizes the specific. In other math for engineers general principles are introduced, i.e., theorems, etc., in the hope that given such rigorous ...

EXPLORING THE EVOLUTION OF GEOMETRICAL THINKING
2013Geometry situated artefacts is a great resource to have learners experience geometry. This study explores how pre-service teachers go through this experience and how they benefit by connecting real life geometry to their learning geometry trajectory.

Geometrical Thinking: Solving a Problem on Graphic Representation
2020Establishing a new drawing system demands critical attention from the user in order to make the correlation between objects that are being represented, and the instruments used for their depiction. The successful use of a technique requires taking into consideration the knowledge implied in that same procedure.

The Origami model as geometrical extension of Visual Thinking
2018Our research aims to contextualize, analyze and validate the use of origami models as a synthetic expression of the Geometric Structure of the plastic and iconic representation forms in Architecture, with an interdisciplinary perspective, in the context of the Visual Thinking and of the Culture of Vision. Designing and using origami means realizing the
