Maths is Everywhere! Project Activities

This booklet is just a brief overview of all the activities we did during the project and the variations that we used to include students with learning difficulties.

Summative presentations were created about all tasks so as to share the work done with

partners whenever we had the opportunities to meet during transnational meetings or short term pupil exchanges. These presentations contain photos of the activities also.

All of these presentations and anything related to the activities have been uploaded to various places and are available on the project Twinspace and Journal, on the project blog and also on

Facebook project pages for each country or on the individual school websites.

Links to the collective areas are listed below and further links are at the back of the booklet.

Age range: 12-15 Secondary School

Turkey

Students: - Made a paper model of a famous building in our city or country using the geometrical shapes that they find out in Task 1. They can choose any building they like, e.g.: a famous building from Balikesir or Turkey, their home or school or create something new.

Age range: 11-14 Secondary School

Poland

Students: - made a paper model of a famous building in our country or in the world. They can choose any building they like, e.g.: a famous building from Poland or another country, their home or school or create something new. - prepared a short description of their model in Polish and English. - added scale calculations (real building and their models).

- (SEN) with the help of their teachers, students make simple models (join parts

together) with geometrical shapes prepared earlier by their teachers.

Age range: 11-16 Primary School/ Secondary School

England (UK)

Students: - chose a local building or famous UK or worldwide landmark. - identified the main shapes that the building is designed from (for this the students identified and drew round the shapes on a 2D photographic image and then counted how many shapes they needed (with support where/ when required) - independent students determined which 3D shapes were required from the 2D faces depicted on the photographs. - there was a recycling campaign so students brought in lots of empty boxes and cartons from home. - they then chose the boxes and other recyclable rubbish to create models of famous landmarks in the region, making sure that the boxes chosen were of a reasonable proportion. (with support where/ when required) - made a list of the 2D or 3D shapes used and took photos during the task. - One of our students has VI issues and so we created an embossing of the shape of the building on raised paper so that she could feel the outlines and identify the shapes and then with some support she selected the boxes required accordingly. She then used braille to ‘write’ the name of the different shapes used.

Variation on the activity for students with learning difficulties (SEN)

Activity 2 – Maths Around us (using shapes to make models of buildings)

First outline the shapes in the photo.

The students identified the main shapes from an original photo and then, having identified the shapes required, selected from a collection of empty boxes (recognising the need for proportion) and then constructed

the building.

The student then felt for the shapes she needed from a selection of empty boxes etc , and then created the building (church)

Raised stickers were used to identify the quarter hours on the clock.

One of our students is visually impaired and we have a machine that takes a picture and raises the lines so that it can be felt. the student used this to identify the shapes and then typed the names of the shapes in braille.

England (UK)

Students (split into groups): - independent students used the internet to calculate flying distance between major airports and then used the AA route planner to calculate road distance between the airports and origin and destination towns and added these totals together. They used the same process for calculating the time taken to travel between these stages. This was extended to considering temperature differences of the countries on a given day. - For those students needing more support - Group 1 looked at types of transport: air, rail, sea, road - compared luggage by size and weight (and colour)/ Counted pieces of luggage. Used language of comparison. - Group 2 considered how to get to Colne or Burnley (next local town) via train, bus or car. Looked at alternatives and compared prices. They then went on the journey themselves to compare time taken and costs. - Group 3 looked at and compared the cost and frequency of direct flights from a local airport (Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool) to the capital cities of our partner countries. They also looked at how many different airline companies flew to the destinations and noticed different prices. Results were put into a PowerPoint or displayed on a map of Europe.

Activity 3 – Maths and Travelling (calculating distances between partner

cities)

For some of our students this task was too challenging and so they considered a local bus journey and looked at calculating the fare and what time they

needed to be at the station.

Other students looked at the different types of transport that are available and compared them – this was then extended to comparing big and small luggage pieces and ordering them by size.

Other groups used the AA road planner to help find exact distances between the schools.

One group used a speaking globe to tell the distance in direct miles from the capital cities of our partner countries.

The VI students also used this to hear the national anthems of different countries. http://www.replogleglobes.com/intelliglobe/
