New Partner School in Austria!

We are very happy to welcome MINT-Mittelschule Wartberg an der Krems as a new MathCityMap partner school! Teacher Klara Edelbauer tells us about the implementation of two trails and the feedback from the students.

1. Rund um die Schule (translates to around the school)
   The first trail (7927982) took pupils from Year 7 on a mathematical journey of discovery around the school building. At seven stations, they solved tasks on topics such as geometry, units of measurement and combinatorics.

2. Jetzt wird’s MINTig (translates to now it’s getting STEMy)
   The second trail (4527948) was aimed at Year 6 and was carried out as part of STEM lessons. Equipped with a smartphone, measuring tape, calculator, piece of paper and pencil, the pupils worked on eight mathematical tasks.

“Both math trails were a welcome change from traditional lessons. They showed that math is everywhere in everyday life. Working outdoors and in teams in particular made learning varied and motivating. The combination with navigating in the environment was particularly appreciated by the pupils.”

We are delighted with the commitment of MINT-MS Wartberg/Krems and would like to welcome the entire team to the MathCityMap community!

We look forward to more exciting trails and great new ideas.

The package with the official partner school badge and the MCM measuring instruments has already been delivered 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.
