I like to be dynamic with maths. In fact, I am the secretary of LLEIMAT, the Mathematics Teachers Association of FEEMCAT, a group of the Organization for the Teaching of Mathematics in Catalonia and an active member of the Catalonia Mathematics Museum (MMACA). Last but not least, I do workshops, presentations, talks and exhibitions all over Catalonia.

Consists of a box formed by 4 polyhedra very similar to the great cubicuboctahedron and crowned with a crossed square cupola. The faces of the cubicuboctahedron are triangles, squares and octagrams. These polyhedra are placed in order that some of their triangles are in the same plane. The same happens with the squares or with the octagrams, as well as the triangles of the cupola (red) are also in the same plane as some triangles of the cubicuboctahedron (white).
