Abstract


Geometry is a very important field of mathematics which is crucial for the understanding of space. From an early age, children observe objects that cor-respond to geometric shapes and learn the position they occupy in space (above, below, etc.). It is a demanding lesson that requires imagination and combinational thought. With the introduction of technology in education, ge-ometry became more accessible to students, because through it pupils can now visualize figures, study and process them.
