The workshop is divided in two parts. First, the organisers will explain different types of surfaces, their sections (this is what plain figures can appear when a surface is cut by another plain) and the uses of knowing the sections of a geometrical body.

In the second part, the attendees have the opportunity of building some real models of the surfaces that have been previously explained in the first part by means of templates. They will cut the sections and then rebuild the surface.

María García Monera, teacher of mathematics, is the responsible of the organisation of this workshop in the Faculty of Mathematics of Burjassot. They have also carried out for the first time a mathematics route in Burjassot campus in order to carry out more workshops in other places to those located in the city of Valencia.
