New Partner School in Slovakia!

We are delighted to welcome Základná škola sv. Marka as a new partner school in the MathCityMap network! Under the guidance of teacher Kristína Mrázová, the students regularly use mathematical learning trails to experience mathematics in a practical and creative way.

Three trails have already been published and can be accessed using the following codes:
1. ZŠ sv. Marka (Code: 3912202)
2. Jarná prechádzka na ZŠ sv. Marka (Code: 6815304)
3. ZŠ sv. Marka II. (Code: 1317889)

The teacher reports about the experiences she has made with her class:
„The pupils enjoyed solving mathematical trails outside the classroom. Working in groups, they applied their knowledge to real objects and practical examples. They supported each other, discussed different strategies and discovered that mathematics can be useful and fun in everyday situations. Mathematical trails are regularly used at our school, and this activity is very popular among the pupils.“

The package with the official partner school badge and the MCM measuring instruments is on its way and we are looking forward to receiving more applications from all over the world.

All further information on the partner school programme and the requirements for application can be found both in the article on the first MCM partner school and on the homepage of our MaSCE³ project.
