During the Science festival in Rijeka (2.-7.5.2022.) we conducted several activities connected to our InAMath project: Mathematical games, Mathematical puzzles, Secrets of cryptography, Look at me… I repeat myself!, Secret hunt, two mathematical exhibitions, and a popular lecture About artists who loved mathematics. We had so much fun with lots of students and it makes us happy that they enjoyed it very much too!

During April, we continued with our work developing scenarios and rehearsing scenarios in classrooms. This month we tried 12 scenarios in classrooms. The children and teachers are very happy and motivated for our next visits with new activities. A list of all conducted activities can be found here, and we bring you some pictures from scenarios rehearsals in the previous month.

During March, we continued developing scenarios and rehearsing scenarios in classrooms. We went to the classroom over 20 times and tried 16 scenarios. Our experiences are very positive, and the children and teachers are very happy and motivated for our next visits with new activities. We bring you a little preview of the atmosphere in the classroom, and a list of all conducted activities can be found here.

We had so many activities for Pi day that we celebrated for the whole week! Plenty of ideas and plenty of workshops with students were organized in our four countries during this Pi week! We bring you some pictures to feel a little part of our International day of Mathematics celebration! Show more…

During February, Rijeka and Mostar continued with developing scenarios for our activities in classrooms. Our partners in Mostar had two classroom activities based on new scenarios and in Rijeka two scenarios are completely prepared and ready. Our 3D printer was printing 24/7 and he deserved some rest, while we are ready for rehearsal in March!

In the journal of mathematical teaching “MIŠ: Matematika i škola”, an article by Vedrana Mikulić Crnković, Dina Mlacović, Marko Mrvoš “Kako organizirati matematičku izložbu – taxi geometrija” (How to organize a mathematical exhibition – taxi geometry) is published. The article describes the experience of organizing an exhibition within the InAMath project.

After a short holiday break, we continued with the preparation of our activities and making arrangements with schools for the implementation of our interdisciplinary activities. Also, members of our project held two lectures in the previous month: Vedrana Mikulić Crnković and Bojan Crnković with a lecture for students and teachers of the Academy of Applied Arts as a part of Emergency Exit 2021-2022 and Urška Cimprič with a lecture for students, future teachers, on teaching mathematics in the first educational period in practice.

On Monday, January 17, 2022, teacher Urška Cimprič from the Elementary School heroja Janeza Hribarja gave a lecture for students, future teachers, on teaching mathematics in the first educational period in practice. Urška is a collaborator in the InAMath project, so she also introduced students to the possibilities of interdisciplinary connection of mathematics with other school subjects. The lecture was held online due to the epidemiological situation. The second part of the lecture will be held in the spring.

In December of 2021, we started implementing interdisciplinary activities in primary schools in Slovenia and in Novi Sad. The students participated in the activities with pleasure, and the motivation for work was high. In addition to mathematics, English, movement, and science were included in interdisciplinary sections.

On Thursday, December 16th, 2021, Društvo matematičara i fizičara invites you to a presentation of the InAMath project. As a part of the project presentation, a lecture titled Interdisciplinary connection of mathematics in class teaching in Slovenia will be held by Marina Volk from the University of Primorska, Slovenia.

All members of Društvo matematičara i fizičara and everyone interested are invited to the presentation and the lecture.
