in #steemiteducation5 years ago

Hello friends of @steemiteducation, it's a real pleasure to greet you after a while, I hope you enjoyed this holiday and I wish you a Happy New Year 2019, it's time to go back to work and get back on this beautiful platform. Quality that interests us all and at the same time nurtures us and fills us with information.

In this year 2019 I bring you a new proposal, of course aimed at the education of our children, last year we worked with post under the criteria of Home Science and Educational Crafts we will continue to develop this year too, but this time I bring a new initiative based on Fun Math, so let's dive into the theme and start with fun for our little ones that I assure you will love and at the same time learn a lot.

The Penrose triangle, or impossible triangle, is a well-known optical illusion. Let's have fun drawing this fascinating figure step by step as we learn about its characteristics and its history.

Materials:

  • Folios or drawing paper.
  • Colored pencils, wax, markers (markers or markers) to decorate.
  • Optional: rulers and scissors. You can also make the drawings by hand.

History

The first impossible triangle was created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934 when he was only 18 years old. Reutersvärd placed several cubes in perspective forming a very special triangle. When you see it, you immediately realize that there is something that does not fit, and that is that, while the figure is totally feasible in 2 dimensions, in 3 dimensions it does not make any sense, it is unrealizable.

So is ours!

Years later, and independently, this triangle was rediscovered by the mathematician Roger Penrose and his father, the psychiatrist Lionel Penrose. They drew a figure similar to that of Reutersvärd but using bars instead of cubes. Father and son made their triangle very popular in the middle of the last century, so much so that it appeared in some works of the Dutch artist M.C. Escher.

Since then, although Oscar Reutersvärd is considered the father of impossible figures, it is known as the Penrose triangle.
