Descobertes matemàtiques Authors Núria Cardet Abstract The following is a brief research project on the geometrical shape of numbers carried out by fourth-year primary students at the Països Catalans school in Lleida. It was completed as an activity of mathematical discovery over a schedule of one class per week. The task began as an attempt to answer a particular question asked by the pupils themselves: What is the geometrical shape of numbers? It was developed in small, regulated groups, and linked elements of the curriculum to real life. It also allowed for different kinds of representation, and encouraged the need among students to explain to the others any new findings. Awareness of diversity was inevitable, since it was by using various materials and through the different representations themselves that a solution incorporating all the knowledge of the whole group was finally arrived at. Ultimately, this encourages mathematical thinking. The project was included in the X Lleimat Convention for Competence Enrichment that took place in the city of Lleida in February 2014.
