Geometry with Karla Neves (BR)

Why is geometry a school subject? 

It interacts with many others and enables students to develop much more than spatial reasoning, linking them to a relationship with movement: initially the concrete movement that every person performs when walking on the earth’s surface, then distilling it to the perception of movement, and eventually pure, flexible and free thinking. 

Here we have a subject which is eminently pragmatic and deeply esoteric at the same time, allowing for thoroughly scientific flights of imagination – an excellent way of extending pupils’ horizons. 

Karla Neves, an experienced class teacher, faculty member and researcher on Waldorf education and anthroposophy, has been active in middle school, high school and college teaching, focusing on Sciences, Mathematics and Geometry. She has been working with Teacher Education, mentoring and lecturing in  Brazil and internationally for more than 15 years
