TWO new partner schools in Slovakia!
We are delighted to welcome two new partner schools in Slovakia. Palárikovo Primary School and Mirka Nešpora Primary School have each created three trails – for the fifth, sixth and seventh grades.
Teacher Ľubica Pereiová told us in a short report how she got started with MathCityMap:
“We organised maths parcours in our school. We started with maths trails in the classrooms. Then we tried to do maths trails outside. We created 20 tasks around the school. We will continue with the maths trails. The pupils enjoyed working with the app. They repeated what they had learnt on the trails during the year. “
The trails can be found here: 2919596, 2520835, 4620836.
Teacher Michaela Pukáčová also told us about her experience with MathCityMap so far:
“The first trail entitled “Fractions at Mirka Nešpora Primary School – Interior” (code: 2817928) includes 7 tasks located in the interior of our school. The second “End-of-the-year trail 6” (code: 2321731) and the third “End-of-the-year trail 7” (code: 0421732) focus on summarising the curriculum for the 6th and 7th grades and allow students to apply their acquired knowledge in practice. More than 70 students from the 6th and 7th grades participated in these mathematical trails. The pupils enjoyed this unusual lesson, they had fun and improved their mathematical knowledge in practical situations. These trails brought a new dynamic to the lessons and helped the pupils to better understand and appreciate the importance of maths in everyday life.”
Below you can gain an insight into the special MathCityMap lessons at the two schools:
We are also very much looking forward to more exciting trails and tasks!
The packages with the official partner school badge and the MCM measuring instruments are already on their way to the schools and we are already looking forward to receiving more applications from all over the world.
All further information on the partner school program and the requirements for the application can be found in the article on the first MCM partner school as well as on the homepage of our MaSCE³ project.
