My students are from 6 to 11.
I love teach...really i think... i don't work but i still go to school!
Every single day i learn something from my pupils.]]> 2018-11-17 21:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ninastallone1/oekzjnen9xuo/wish/305592096 LE: Hand(s) on...Why Maths? ninastallone1 https://padlet.com/ninastallone1/oekzjnen9xuo/wish/305593528 EXPERT: Małgorzata Garkowska

TARGET GROUP: Maths teachers
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Math teachers have always been interested in reducing under-achievement that students present in this subject. One problem is that Math can be very abstract. In this Learning Event, we shall discuss about Maths applications in different areas of living and share how to help make this subject more practical by highlighting its various applications in other sciences and encouraging cross-curricular activities, creativity, innovation.

Math is important in all part of our life because  we use math to do a lot of thing... when we go shopping or plan an holiday or pay a bill, or cook our food.  Moreover we use math in chemistry and physics. Instead at school, math helps to develop critical thinking in our students and to be creative in  problem solving and finding solutions. ]]> 2018-11-17 22:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ninastallone1/oekzjnen9xuo/wish/305595423 ninastallone1 https://padlet.com/ninastallone1/oekzjnen9xuo/wish/305595990 2018-11-17 22:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ninastallone1/oekzjnen9xuo/wish/305595990 Module 1.

How did they go? What did they learn from implementing them? ninastallone1 https://padlet.com/ninastallone1/oekzjnen9xuo/wish/305601987 I usually do some activities with my pupils to show as the mathematics is in everyday life or in nature, often we go around for our school garden to observing and measuring the plants. 
I usually divide the lesson in two parts, a part in which my pupils can make experience and a part in which they can apply the knowledges acquired by the reality.
In general the activities  are:
  • play to sell and buy products of everyday life,
  •  measure their own height, 
  •  measure materials to create crafts,
  • measure the classroom or the school garden to understand the measure of lenght,
  • sometimes  we make some recipe like salami of chocolate,
  • observe and draw the leaves of the plants,
  • measure the time and the temperature.

Mathematics, to a great extent, is the language of science. By analyzing and interpreting data - and using mathematical and computational thinking- students experience how math is a tool that helps to explain the world around us.
Science experiences contribute to the development of other operations basic to the study of mathematics. Some of these operations are: conserving substance and length, one-to-one correspondence, ordering, seriating, and classifying.
Students develop numeracy capabilities as they investigate concepts fundamental to Geography. They calculate scale, distance on the map or real distance on Earth. One of the most common task is to calculate the real area of a place using the map scale. They apply numeracy skills in geographical analysis by counting and measuring, constructing and interpreting tables and graphs, calculating and interpreting statistics and using statistical analysis.]]> 2018-11-18 21:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ninastallone1/oekzjnen9xuo/wish/305719752 Geography: measurement ninastallone1 https://padlet.com/ninastallone1/oekzjnen9xuo/wish/305725337 Measurement lessons will go beyond the simple measurement of point A to point B and demonstrate how linear measure can be applicable to real world problems.
