Maths in Motion

Chalkboard

Articulating with the theme of Geometry, isometrics were discussed, using cutting and painting techniques. Through art, they grasp the meaning of isometrics that is explored in everyday life, for example, in the construction of various types of buildings, bridges, churches. The student understands the concept as present in the society in which they are inserted. In conjunction with the techniques learned in arts. Folding techniques in the construction of origami and Plato's geometric solids were also explored. Each student's creativity was developed in constructing the irrational number Pi. Note that there was no equal final product and the students understood, in a playful way, the concept of an irrational number as an infinite and non-repeating decimal.

Articulating with the themes of Geometry and Maths and Arts, students manipulated various materials to build geometric solids, origami, among others. Visualizing these materials in practice allowed us to better understand content such as volumes, areas, and spatial perception of these objects.

F. All about Maths... and Motion...

Over the course of three years, a series of activities were developed within the scope of Mathematics, both indoor and outdoor, taking advantage of the school's potential and resources, articulating with other areas of knowledge.

In the theme of Geometry, the content of isometrics was explored using drawing and measurement material in the construction of artistic works, such as Escher patterns, origami and the representation/construction of the irrational number Pi. Parallelepiped, experimental and research work was carried out, using the GeoGebra dynamic geometry software.

The students from the Portuguese Erasmus team carried out detailed research work on the topic of Climate and Geography. This work was, firstly, carried out in contrast with Portugal. Portugal is a southern country, with a temperate climate, with an average of 250 days of sunshine, with a coastline of 800km. Therefore, activities, gastronomy and many habits and sports are related to the sea. Sweden is a country located in northern Europe. It is hit by very low temperatures, lots of ice and snow. In this sense, we tried to establish this difference well. How climate and geography influence: - people's habits; free time activities; art; sports; behaviors and people.

Erasmus and Project Days: Let's share our experiences 

This ebook was created to show the results achieved with the Maths in Motion project. This project was based on the practical, creative and enriching study of Mathematics in conjunction with other areas of knowledge. Thus, activities were developed, covering the objectivity of Mathematics in connection with cultural activities, aiming to expand the world of ideas, creativity, and thought. It was, therefore, a creative and very enriching project. This project covered, within the scope of Mathematics, mathematical games, Geometry, Logic, Manipulatives, Maths in Art and Statistics. One of the main objectives was to enhance interest in Mathematics, but also to improve the English language, use ICT in a modern and innovative way, discover and share cultural aspects and expand knowledge, at the same time gaining new skills. We are very pleased to share this adventure, which turned out to be much more interesting, enriching and rewarding than it promised.

Planning the logo activity with the students

I. Feedback and partners evaluation

The Portuguese team explained to the international delegations that each person involved in the project was a leaf and we all formed a tree. In this sense, each participant was given a leaf and they gave their feedback and evaluated the mobility. Portugal kept the tree&nbsp;as&nbsp;a&nbsp;souvenir.

This theme was essentially explored outdoors, taking advantage of the school building and space, where the themes of Geometry, Arithmetic, probability and Algebra were explored. Thus, using activities such as football and athletics, students were able, in practice, to apply and prove various mathematical content. Especially, direct and inverse proportionality, volumes, Laplace's law, areas and calculation, in conjunction with Physical Chemistry and Physical Education content.

H. Products (Portuguese Mobility)

1. A book was created with a cultural-mathematical route to the Peddy-paper in the historic center of Guimarães - the birthplace&nbsp;of&nbsp;Portugal.

2. Construction from scratch by the Erasmus Team of the Rastros and Hex board games with recyclable material, such as buttons&nbsp;and&nbsp;shells.

Mathematical games were played over 3 years, namely rastros, hex, supertmatik, as well as magic tricks with cards.

Our project has had a significant impact on our students, school, teachers and even community. STUDENTS - Cultural awareness and language skills: This experience has exposed them to different cultures, languages, and ways of life, fostering cultural awareness and sensitivity. It has helped break down stereotypes and promote global citizenship. Students have improved their language skills, which will be beneficial for both personal and future professional growth. SCHOOLS / TEACHERS - Internationalization and Quality Improvement: Collaboration with international partners has lead to improvements in the quality of education. Some teachers have adopted innovative teaching methods from partner institutions, enhancing the overall educational experience for students. COMMUNITY - Cultural Enrichment: Parents hosting Erasmus students have benefitted from increased cultural diversity. This exposure to different cultures have enriched the local community and foster tolerance and understanding. In conclusion, this Erasmus project has had a multifaceted impact, extending from individual students to educational institutions and the broader community. It has promoted internationalization, cultural understanding, while enhancing the overall quality of education.

G. Montelongo Erasmus+ Mobility Starts HERE!

Maths in Motion has been a transformative journey for all involved. It has strengthened our institution's internationalization efforts, enriched the lives of our students and staff, and deepened our ties with partner institutions. We are excited about the future and the opportunities for continued collaboration and growth that lie ahead. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to all participants, partners, and stakeholders who made this project possible. This Erasmus project serves as a testament to the power of international cooperation and education in building a more interconnected and understanding world. Thank you so much for being with us!

Art workshop - Isometries instructions.pdf

Christmas was celebrated, firstly taking into account the cultural diversity of our European partners and the specificities of each country. In the European world there are not many differences to note, but even so, it is still possible to surprise ourselves from a gastronomic point of view and certain habits. This research was carried out throughout the years and the students also contacted their peers from the countries that are part of our project and it was possible to discover many things and enrich themselves culturally. Christmas was also a time to talk about tolerance, to discuss the importance of values and ethics, friendship, loyalty, knowledge and cultural enrichment.

Christmas also allowed us to create moments of dialogue, writing texts, postcards and reading Christmas legends.

Students creativity was also highlighted by instigate them to create recycled materials.

3. Isometrics The students presented a PowerPoint on the different applications of isometries in the arts. A short documentary about the mathematician/artist Escher was then shown. The international teams carried out practical work in the field of arts using the concept of isometry,&nbsp;building&nbsp;flags.
