Introduction The key linking all five partners of our project „Maths around us” was Mathematics. Our main aim was to improve Maths skills of students by perceiving Maths issues in their closest surrounding world. Students were encouraged to do their best to solve Maths tasks and to find similarities and differences between the environments of five participated schools by using a wide range of different ICT applications with English language as language of communication between partners. The project was divided into five parts:     

“Maths in kitchen” with Italian school responsible “Maths in vehicles” with Bulgarian school responsible “Maths in buildings” with Turkish school responsible “Maths in nature” with Polish school responsible “Maths in games” with Spanish school responsible

Project aims The project priority was to develop maths, ICT, English and social skills by solving a wide range of tasks. Students awareness of maths existing everywhere increased and all time maths accompanies humans’ life. Teachers tried to design such tasks where finding solution or understanding the topic needed to use ICT applications free and available on the Internet and needed to work in group or pair work. Working on tasks needed to use English language. All games, presentations, interviews, maths tasks, lessons students prepared in English. During motilities they also communicated and solved all tasks using this language. Before and after the project they solved English diagnostic test. Most of them achieved A2 level as it was expected. One of the project purpose was to develop ICT skills which are very important in contemporary world. Students were familiarized with a wide range of applications. They are free and can be easily found on the Internet. The list of apps used in the project: tagxego, smilebox, match memory game, hotpotatoes, issue, tools educator, you tube, comiclife, iMovie, moviemaker, doc.google, shapecollag, quizlet, dropbox, same quizy, symbaloo, proprofs, answergarden, socrative, kahoot, monkeyjam, blog, google maps, easly.ly, fodey, pikochart, webpage, edycaplay, blubbr, prezi, tondoo, padlet. Social and cooperation skills Doing project activities our students developed social skills. They mainly worked in pairs or in a groups enriching cooperation skills. During mobilities our students cooperated in international groups using English as language of mutual cooperation. All results of our mutual work were uploaded to eTwinning platform, our blog and our facebook

The third stage “Maths in buildings” In this part of the project students did tasks connected with buildings, maths and presented in English on etwinning, blog and facebook. They chose the oldest house or the one that seems to be the most traditional or interesting in their neighbourhood in their street, or in village then they visualised it taking photos or drawings, they made an interview with the people living there in English and presented their work via ICT apps. The pupils in groups chose a region in Turkey which is famous for its typical traditional houses (there are many towns with different specific houses) and made a research about them on the internet. Then they made a model of the houses there using waste material and give basic information about them - their location, their date of building, their colour in common etc. The photos of the models and the information were shared on the web ( blog, etwining space,etc) Each country prepared a dictionary including proverbs, literary expressions and quotations about “home”. The dictionary was written in English and in their mother tongue. (For example one of the famous sayings of Atatürk : “Peace at home, peace in the world.”, or a well-known sentence like “There is no place like home.” ) Pupils made a research about the interesting stories or surprising facts of historical buildings. Each country found and chose such an interesting story, tale or legend and prepared a poster, presentation or description via ICT. Re-designing of a piece of old furniture : In old Turkish houses, there were some decorative objects or different furniture that no longer exist ( for example in some old houses there used to be a small pool in the living room, or there used to be a turning shelf between kitchen and living room, you put the plates and food there and turned it, then they could take it from the living room and this was used when men and women were sitting in different rooms The pupils made a research about them and they re-designed (in a more modern way) it. They created the model of it in their Technology and design “Smart Furniture From The Past”, etc. ). Maths topics students coped with during this stage were:    

Roman and Arabic numbers, golden proportion, geometric shapes, cylinders, Pythagorean theorem, Platonic solid, scale and Maths mosaics, similar triangles.

Example 4 Here our students are analysing the structure of a palace using the application geogebra which permit them to draw the plant of the palace itself and find its area. Moreover the Maths teacher explains to the students the basic notions of pressure, structural collapses and their connection to earthquakes

( a real current problem in this period in Italy) The activity will be made in different stages: 1) use of a Cartesian plane to find all the vertexes of the rooms 2) their transcription on geogebra 3) connection of the points through segments and drawing of the rooms 4) calculation of area and weight of the architectural structures of the palace 5) calculation of pressure for square cm. 6) calculation of the effects of an earthquake

MY HOUSE: FROM ITS ORIGINS TO TODAY 1) Which era does this building go back to? This house where I live with my husband, my children and my mother goes back to the late 20s, so it reflects the prevailing style at that time: Art Nouveau. It's a building consisting of ground floor, two floors, attic and basement rooms and has got very high vaults and very large rooms. It is located where today it is the centre of our village, opposite to the Municipal park but, at the time of its construction there were very few homes in that area and the park was a public one, mostly used for football matches and military parades. 2) By whom was it built? It was built by a certain Angelo Coco who, after having lived there for a while, moved to the nearby town of San Severo and decided to rent it. So, from that moment this building suddenly changed its destination of use: in the period of the World War II it became barracks and after that a hotel, a school and finally it was rented to families for residential purposes. In

the basement rooms there are some wells of spring water and, in the past, in these premises they made and sold ice since in that time there were no refrigerators. 3) How long have you and your family been living here? My maternal grandfather Mr. Giovanni Napolitano bought this building in the early 50s. After a few years it became his home and then, when my mother (his daughter) got married with my father it became her house. After my parents' marriage, the basement rooms were used as consulting room of my father who was a surgeon. From 50s onwards this property underwent several renovations, while maintaining its original style. The cherry wood entrance door was masterfully realized by local craftsmen in the 20s. In the staircase there is an impressive cast iron railing in Art Nouveau style, that ends with a statue of a young woman. The same is the railing on the balconies. The main facade presents at the centre also two little balconies with masonry columns. The bearing walls are made of stone and are 80 centimetres wide so that the house is cool even during the hot summer days. From the balconies you can enjoy a view that embraces much of the country and the surrounding hills.

Example 5 A very old house

Today, our reporters Mauro and David, went to visit one of the oldest houses in Valdemorillo. They have talked to her owner and asked her some questions:

Beehive house is a building made from a circle of stones topped with a domed roof. The name comes from the similarity in shape to a straw beehive. Throughout history, man has always adapted to natural landscapes and to making good use of resources. The beehive houses of Harran are a perfect example of this. They first appeared around 3000 years ago and although now days, most are used as tourist exhibitions, they are still a marvelous insight into life during history. Used up until the 1980s, the traditional method of constructing them with bricks and mud, was with an aim to be cool in summer, yet warm in winter. The circle shape also deflected the blast of strong winds and torrential rainfall. Although the beehive houses in Turkey are specific to the region of Harran, their designs were used all over the world including Africa and Scotland.

The name comes from one of the twenty-four clans of the Oghuz Turks, even the villagers are called Kızık. similar villages, although less well preserved, are Değirmenlikızık, Derekızık, and Hamamlıkızık. The name comes from the local spas Hamamlıkızık (hamamli), who had their headquarters there. Cumalikizik name comes from "Friday" (Cuma, in turkish), the day when the people of the Islamic religion gather for the celebration of worship. The ethnographic museum of Cumalikizik, located in the village square, shows different historical objects of the site. Every year, in June, takes place the raspberry festival. The famous Cumalikizik houses are made of wood and brick. Most of the houses is threefold. The windows of the upper floors are usually equipped with a grate and with a bay window. The handles and the doors on the main entrance doors are iron work. The cobbled streets are very narrow, without sidewalks, but the center is present a typical medieval gutter for the discharge of rain and water in general.

https://youtu.be/LtPjyjOvI9Q Example 4 El Palacio de Linares

“Maths around us” 2015-1-PL01-KA219-016511_1

27


José de Murga y Reolid y Raimunda de Osorio y Ortega, Marqueses de Linares, compraron en 1874 un solar en la intersección de la Calle Alcalá con el Paseo de Recoletos, de más de 3.000 metros cuadrados, para levantar su futura vivienda. Tras fallecer los marqueses, y ante la ausencia de descendencia, el palacio lo heredó la ahijada de éstos, Raimunda. Casi un siglo más tarde, en el 1992, el edificio se reabrió como la Casa de América. En estas grabaciones se podían escuchar voces que hablaban de forma nítida y clara. La primera, masculina gritaba ““¡Fuera,no… aquí no!”, la segunda, quizás la que más angustia producía, era de una niña, que con voz quebrada susurraba, “Mamá… yo no tengo mamá”. La última, la de una mujer mayor, decía varias frases, entre ellas, la más reveladora de todas era “Mi hija Raimunda… nunca oyó decir mamá”. Las supuestas psicofonías pronto quedaron en entredicho, se trataba de una farsa de la doctora para promocionar su libro pero sin embargo, no podemos obviar la oscura vida que tuvieron los Marqueses de Linares y la tenebrosa leyenda que se cernió sobre ellos. ¿qué misterio ocultaban los marqueses? Cuenta la leyenda que después de haberse casado, José y Raimunda descubrieron con estupor que en realidad eran hermanos. Ella era fruto de una aventura amorosa del padre del Marqués con una vendedora de tabaco de Lavapiés.

Our object originally served to bake muffins, after changing its purpose it holds soft-boiled eggs. Unique scissors The object I have choosen are scissors for cutting the umbilical cord. In our muzeum this scissors are done in steel. As the name suggests, they are designed to cut the umbilical cord. I did my model by white clay. I changed a lot of elements, because I don't have manual skills. My model simpler then original scissors and feet were looks like stand. They look like crane but they are imperfect. My scissors serve as hangers for keys. The beak is the place where the keys are hung. Feet are used as something to attach the structure. What I did is unideal but I believe that the hardness I put in making it pay off.

Platonic solids The Platonic solids were known to the ancient Greeks, and were described by Plato in his Timaeus ca. 350 BC. In this work, Plato equated the tetrahedron with the "element" fire, the cube with earth, the icosahedron with water, the octahedron with air, and the dodecahedron with the stuff of which the constellations and heavens were made (Cromwell 1997). Predating Plato, the Neolithic people of Scotland developed the five solids a thousand years earlier. The stone models are kept in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford (Atiyah and Sutcliffe 2003).

Here there is a web site where you can learn more about that solids: https://illuminations.nctm.org/activity.aspx?id=3521 This is one of the interactive games we can find on internet. It is separated for different grades, so you can practice your knowledge whatever your age is: https://eu.ixl.com/math/geometry

Another ancient way to practice your geometry and train your brain is with TANGRAM, the Chinese game that use basic regular shapes to form different figures (It is in Spanish, but it is very intuitive): http://www.matemath.com/juegos1.php?cadena=1-3

http://www.tangramgames.co.uk/tangramgameA/ (English version) And another kind of game to review 3D- shapes

CYLINDERS

“Maths around us� 2015-1-PL01-KA219-016511_1

54


Cylinder, in mathematics, surface generated by a line moving parallel to a given fixed line and continually intersecting a given fixed curve called the directrix; each line of the family of lines forming the cylinder is called a ruling, or generator. If the directrix is a conic section (e.g., a circle or a parabola), the cylinder is called a quadric cylinder. The commonest type of cylinder is the right circular cylinder, in which the directrix is a circle and the lines forming the cylinder are all perpendicular to the plane of the circle. The solid bounded by a cylindrical surface and two parallel planes intersecting the surface in closed curves is also called a cylinder. The perpendicular distance between the planes is the altitude of the cylinder. The volume of the cylinder is equal to the product of the altitude and the area of the base (the area enclosed by either closed curve). http://www.mathopenref.com/cylinder.html During our January activities our students’ task was to design the net of cuboit as a box for a present. Students had to design the box in this way to use as little paper as they could. Then they had to calculate areas. Polish students working on tasks:

Scale tasks 1. On the map with the scale 1:4000000 the distance from Poznań to Warszawa is 8 cm. What is the real distance between these cities? 2. Change numerical scale 12000000 into direct reading scale. 3. Change direct reading scale 1 cm – 80 km. into numerical scale. 4. The distance from Szczawnica do Zakopane is 40 km. how many cm. on the map are in scale 1:1000000? 5. The distance from Warszawa to Paris is 1400 km. what is the map scale when the distance on the map is 7 cm? 6. Count the real distance between Adam’s house and his school if on the map with scale 1:18 000 is 8 cm? 7. The plan of Wroclaw was made in scale 1:45 000, and a plan of Ziębice in 1:20 000. Which plan is more detailed? Origami, scale and photo shop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UeHSUIpbmg&list=UUJablhPP_EccMlqzGkIjv5g&index=90

SIMILAR TRIANGLES Two geometrical objects are called similar if they both have the same shape, or one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other. More precisely, one can be obtained from the other by uniformly scaling (enlarging or reducing), possibly with additional translation, rotation and reflection. This means that either object can be rescaled, repositioned, and reflected, so as to coincide precisely with the other object. If two objects are similar, each is congruent to the result of a particular uniform scaling of the other. A modern and novel perspective of similarity is to consider geometrical objects similar if one appears congruent to the other when zoomed in or out at some level. For example, all circles are similar to each other, all squares are similar to each other, and all equilateral triangles are similar to each other. On the other hand, ellipses are not all similar to each other, rectangles are not all similar to each other, and isosceles triangles are not all similar to each other.
