VER PRESENTACIÓN DE LA QUINTA SESIÓN

Mathematics is not just a matter of number; the representation of space gives us the original sense behind it.
We began the session with Diana Carolina Ruiz from the Department of Music, who explained to us the notion of scale in music. 
By using the Cuisenaire Rods we explored mathematical equivalences and their relationships with space trough the realization of stable space constructions.
Activity organized by Carmen Andrade, mathematician.

  1. Scale and music
  2. Exercises with the Cuisenaire Rods.  EQUIVALENCES: The seven equivalences of the pink rod.
  3. Exercise of equivalences drawn in real size and redrawn on scale.
  4. Model compositions with the rods.
  5. Stable constructions made with the rods
  6. Pyramid model with rods.
