Today, I will talk about some applications for phones or tablets related to geometry and children. I choosed 5 geometry and maths applications, I have played them and finally, I have classify them according to my criteria. The first application is called "Montessori Geometry" . Its name refers to the scientist Maria Montessori, an educator, pedagogue, scientist, doctor, psychiatrist, philosopher, anthropologist, biologist, psychologist, feminist and Italian humanist, and also the first Italian woman to graduate as a doctor of medicine. This is an educational mobile application focused on the development or improvement of skills in the geometry. This has a manipulative approach. It allows working the forms (two-dimensional and three-dimensional) through simple games and personal discovery. With this tool, children can play and learn geometric shapes among other things. The objective is for children to learn to develop logic through the categorization and hierarchizat...

In this video we can see at first, Donald was not interested in exploring the world of mathematics (he think that mathematics was for "crazy"). However, when the "Lord Spirit" suggests a connection between mathematics and music, Donald begins to become intrigued. Donald travels to Ancient Greece, where Pythagoras and his colleagues are discovering math's relationships. Pythagoras (playing the harp), a flutist, and a double bass player perform a "jam session", in which Donald intervenes by playing a vase as a bongo, because he wanted to put the group "rhythm". The music of Pythagoras, as explained by the Spirit, establishes the parameters of current music. Then, Donald finds in his hand a pentagram, the symbol of the secret society of the Pythagoreans. The Spirit explains to Donald how the mysterious golden number appears on the pentagram. Then, it is evident that the pentagram contains a pattern to construct several times golden reflec...
