Abstract

Part of the beauty of Lisbon and Azores lies under the feet of anyone who walks in the streets. Given their highly symmetrical nature, Portuguese sidewalk drawings are ideal to be analyzed geometrically. Furthermore, these drawings provide opportunities for promoting mathematical concepts through exhibitions, card decks, and other forms of dissemination.
