New partner school in Italy!

We are very pleased to welcome the technical high school for economics, graphics and communication from Brixen (Italy) as a new MathCityMap partner school. Two exciting trails have been created by both teachers and students, which are being used by many classes with great pleasure.

“The “MathCityMap” concept was presented and tested at a training event in South Tyrol. Teachers from our school also took part and immediately liked this way of teaching pupils mathematics outdoors, using concrete objects. Our first trail was created by Prof. Grünfelder and was immediately put to good use by the specialist group. The students were enthusiastic and clearly enjoyed measuring, trying out and discussing. A second trail was therefore developed, this time together with pupils in a cross-class project. Based on their experience with MathCityMap trails, the pupils came up with suitable tasks on objects in and around Brixen Cathedral Square. After the trail was published, the group of pupils took on the task of accompanying various classes from our school as they tried out the trail.”

The two trails have already been downloaded a total of 336 times and can be found under the following codes:

Math at Brixen Cathedral Square (code: 061583)

Math at Millander village square (code: 68678)

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.
