A visit from France

 As a result of our eTwinning projects "Learning maths as a universal language" and "experimenting on maths together" , a French high school Institut Lemonier has been visiting us from 03/22 to 03/26.

During those days 20 students from our 4º ESO and 12 students from France have develop a lot of activities together such as a t-shirts workshop using nasrid tiles for the design, a guided visit to our city, a day trip to Granada to see the nasrid tessellations in their real enviroment, a workshop about arches , a mathematical walk using mathcitymaps.a tresure huntingin Hellín and a visit to Toledo to see arches in real contexts.

Students from both countries have had the opportunity of speak in English in a real situation, to start a friendly relationship, to open their minds about Europe and international collaboration. it has been a great experience!

Second Erasmus + mobility (Rétimo)

Last week the second mobility of the Erasmus+project "Maths is around us" ocurred. We went to Rethymno between January 26th and 31st, the topic in this ocasion was Mathematics and Arts.

Students have developed part of the activities in their countries and shared them in twinspace, for instance Spanish students share photos of symmetrical objects and work tesellations and fractal with Geogebra.

In Rethymno we worked in several workshops such as camera obscura,  t-shirts with our tesellations, receive information about symmetry (Romanian team prepared that) and went for a mathematical walk.

We also visited three museums, Knossos palace and learn more about Greek culture.

It was a great experience!!!!

Next meeting is in Hellín, we are eager to receive our partners.

SURVEY (FEELINGS ABOUT MATH), INPHOGRAPHICS

First Erasmus+ mobility ( Brasov)

Last week, between December the 2nd and December the 6th, 5 students and 2 teachers went to Brasov (Romania) as a part of our Erasmus+ project "Maths is around us".

There, students worked with statistics and made several graphs and a report about the survey. They also made some inphografics using Canvas and participated in a treasure hunt in the main touristic places of Brasov.

Students were hosted by Romanian students and they became friend quickly. It was a great experience!!!!

If you are interested in reading what we did , all the information is in our blog https://mathsisaroundus.blogspot.com/

Above you can see some pictures of our participation.

Working with statistics

Students who belong to Erasmus+ "Maths is around us" team have been working with a survey.

The survey is about students' feelings and opinions about math classes.

This entry shows what they have done before the mobility to Brasov

• They translated they survey into Spanish so that their  classmates can answer easily the questions.
• Since teachers have decided that the sample is 20% of students, we decided to do a stratified random sample (for class groups)
• We made a random selection (students learnt how to use the # key in their scientific calculators). For this selection they used the following data:

• GROUP	NUMBER STUDENTS	NUMBER STUDENTS IN SAMPLE
  4º A	17	3
  4ºB	26	5
  1ºBACH A	33	7
  1º BACH B	29	6
  2º BACH A	31	6
  2ºBACH B	31	6

• Once we have the sample,students answer the survey (we thanks to all maths teachers at our school)
• Finally we upload to a shared spreadsheet in our twinspace our results so that we can make a report and an inphografic in Brasov

These are the questions in English:

Erasmus+ Maths is around us

I'm very happy to announce that this year we are running another Erasmus+ project in our school.
This one is for students between 15 and 17 years old (mainly students of first course of "bachiller"), and it is a school exchange partnership.  There are three involved countries: Greece, Romania and Spain.
Ten students will go abroad (5 will go to Romania in December and 5 to Greece in February) and we will host 10 students too (5 from each country).
We will do activities about maths through etwinning and during the exchanges.
As soon as we create our website I'll post here the link so that you can see what we are doing.
Pay attention to the hall at school because in a couple of weeks Erasmus+ corner will be open and we also will show an inphografic about Erasmus+ programme at Izpisua Belmonte
