Our special for EURO 2024
It’s finally starting! On Friday, June 14, 2024, the opening match between tournament host Germany and Scotland will take place in Munich. A little later, the strong national teams from England, Spain and Portugal will also start the tournament. Group D will be particularly exciting, with the Netherlands, insider tip Austria and Poland competing alongside top favorites France.
Regardless of the outcome of the tournament, the European Championship will be the topic of discussion in the coming weeks! On our partner website fussballmathe.de, the team led by Prof. Dr. Matthias Ludwig (Goethe University Frankfurt) provides you with a wealth of information and materials for your mathematics lessons:
- Do you know how you can (approximately) construct a soccer ball from 24 congruent kite squares?
- How you can use the path rule to predict the probability of your national team reaching the round of 16?
- Are you familiar with the birthday paradox and do you know what it has to do with EURO 2024?
You can find answers to these and many other questions at fussballmathe.de. You will also find our prediction of who will win the tournament.
We are looking forward to a great tournament in Germany under the motto “United by football. United in the heart of Europe”!
