As we have discussed in previous blog posts, we already know what geometry is, and today we are going to learn a little more about it, albeit in a fun and not at all theoretical way.  Put on your boots and shin guards and start warming up because it's time for FOOTBALL!⚽​ Could you imagine that football and geometry could be related?🤯​ When I first heard about it, I couldn't believe it! My coach talked a lot about triangulation, but of course, you don't think that football is related to maths!🤦‍♀️​🤦‍♀️​ But well, before we start, and although many of you know what it is, it is worth remembering what football is, that is a team sport, whose appearance dates back years ago and where today, 11 to 11 players play against each other with the aim of scoring as many goals as possible and keeping a clean sheet, or at least, scoring more goals than the other team. And this is where the cool part comes in, the triangulations. These consist in the fact that there must always be thr...

We already know that in this blog we are going to talk about geometry, but we can't talk about something we don't know what it is, can we? 🤨​ I thought so, so the first question we should ask ourselves before starting the blog is the following: do we know what geometry is? Well, according to the RAE, it is the "study of the properties and magnitudes of figures in the plane or in space" . (Real Academia Española, n.d., definition 1). And although in the definition it may seem that we are talking about complex things, in reality geometry is not so complicated, and can even be fun if you look at it with your eyes open 👀​ and pay attention, the latter being very important, because although we do not know it, we are surrounded by geometric elements everywhere, even in the moments we least imagine. Therefore, learning geometry is very important, and I am going to explain why:  Everything we have in our homes and that we use every day is somehow related to geometry . Mobi...
