The importance of geometry in Primary Education

First of all I want to point out that Geometry is a fundamental part of the culture of man. It is difficult to find contexts in which Geometry does not appear directly or indirectly.

The teaching of geometry is also important since our daily verbal language has many geometric terms, such as point, parallel or straight. If we must communicate with others about the location, size or shape of an object, the geometric terminology is fundamental.

On the other hand Geometry is one of the parts of mathematics closest to the reality that surrounds us, and that is why its teaching is essential, especially in the early stages of education.

His teaching is also essential because thanks to Geometry the student acquires a criterion when listening to read and think, because when the student studies geometry, he stops accepting blind propositions and ideas and is taught to think clearly and critically, before making conclusions.
