Mathematical impressions: a challenge with the 3D printer

On 26th and 27th of November, in a virtual exhibition, the XI National Science Show takes place. Once again, the span and a half scientists participate in this National event with a work that aims: Seek to use and monetize a 3D printer from a mathematical perspective is the purpose, with the aim of illustrating ways to provide not only the approach to mathematical concepts and procedures, but also to disseminate some discoveries, inventions and curiosities that mark the history of Science in particular the history of mathematics. The use of 3D design software and a 3D printer in the physical construction of three-dimensional mathematical objects, presents itself as a tool capable of enhancing learning in areas of knowledge that require greater rigor and a greater capacity for abstraction. Drawing and printing in 3D thus offers a different way to explore and learn mathematics.

Creative Thinking Through Photography

Creativity, as a 21st-century skill, has gained more interest these past years and has become one of the key competencies to be implemented in classrooms. Creativity is important to students because it allows them to engage in divergent thinking in a subjective manner. Since it is a subjective form of thinking, it is important to a couple of critical thinking with creative thinking to prepare students for life as they go on to become independent individuals who contribute to society. However, some studies highlight teachers’ difficulties to integrate it in a classroom context. For instance, introducing creativity in overloaded school curricula may be a hindrance to developing it. The students of this generation are not being taught how to creatively think in the schools, which is resulting in a fall of creative communication in the workplace. Creative thinking contributes to the invention of new ideas, perspectives, concepts, principles, and products in our society. If creativity...

OUR NEWS...14th National Virtual Science Show

Math printing: a challenge with the 3D printer is the title of our project selected for the 14th National Virtual Science Show . Seek to use and monetize 3D printer in a mathematical perspective was the purpose of our work, in order to illustrate ways of providing not only the approach of certain mathematical concepts and procedures, but also to disclose some discoveries, inventions and curiosities that mark the history of Science, in particular the history of mathematics. The use of 3D design software and a 3D printer in the physical construction of three-dimensional mathematical objects, presents itself as a tool capable of enhancing learning in areas of knowledge that require greater rigor and a greater capacity for abstraction. Drawing and printing in 3D thus provides a different way to explore and learn mathematics.
