Portugals new partner school

Already the seventh partner school in Portugal! We are very pleased that the Garcia de Orta school association has successfully applied to become the first partner school in the northern Portuguese city of Porto.

The application was made with two of the numerous trails that have since been created and published at and around the school:

“Um passeio na Foz do Douro” which can be found in the app under the code 013089.

Also, “Escola Garcia de Orta“, a classic school trail that has the code 592281.

In their application, the school writes: “We are committed to creating and using this challenging application, in the creation of mathematical trails, to use with our students, with the aim of motivating and enhancing the study of Mathematics.” In addition, it makes an appeal to other schools, which we of course support: “Get to work, Mathematics is everywhere!”

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

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