The great MCM MOOC: Math Trail in Tours

The great MathCityMap online training series is now coming to an end on May 31.

The great MathCityMap online training series is now coming to an end on May 31. As part of our MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), more than 100 teachers from all over the world have become real MathCityMap experts!

The teachers not only created tasks and math trails themselves and received many valuable tips through our expert review, but also tried out their own trails with their classes.

 

In addition to the pirate trail from Alcobendas in Spain, we would like to present Anne-Laure Migné’s maths trail in Tours as a representative of the many creative trails that were created during the MOOC: The “Parcours mathématiques et patrimoine à Tours” offers eight exciting tasks on the cultural heritage of the French city of Tours and leads the mathematicians through the city’s contemporary history: We start with the Gallo-Roman wall from the 4th century. Then the medieval cathedral and the historic old town are visited. Finally – welcome to the modern age – the Wilson Stone Bridge and the Hôtel de ville are visited. For more information on the mathematical city walk by Anne-Laure Migné, visit the website of the city of Tours.

The math trail Promenade mathématique dans Bayeux by Flavie Aubourg is another French trail which was created during the MOOC. It was presented in the local news by Ouest France.


Thanks a lot!

The entire MathCityMap team Frankfurt would like to thank the main organisers of the MOOC. Within the MaSCE³ project, the MOOC was prepared, guided and accompanied by:

Eugenia Taranto (Italy), Christian Mercat (France), Elisabete Cunha (Portugal), Claudia Lázaro (Spain), Andrus Rinde (Estonia) and Simone Jablonski (Germany).

Thank you very much for your commitment!

Congratulations Iwan!

Iwan has made it! The MathCityMap team Frankfurt would like to congratulate Iwan Gurjanow on his doctoral degree! Over the past six years, Iwan has not only played a major role in the conceptual development of MathCityMap, but is also responsible for the technical realization of our learning platform: As a product owner, Iwan has […]

Iwan has made it! The MathCityMap team Frankfurt would like to congratulate Iwan Gurjanow on his doctoral degree!

Over the past six years, Iwan has not only played a major role in the conceptual development of MathCityMap, but is also responsible for the technical realization of our learning platform: As a product owner, Iwan has programmed our system from its infancy – to its current point: a successful and award-winning educational app with more than 20,000 tasks worldwide!

Dear Iwan,
we are very happy – professionally as well as humanly – that we could work with you in the past years. We look back on our great time together with a smile in our eyes and look forward to the approaching farewell with a tear in our eyes:
We wish you all the best for your future!
Your MathCityMap Team Frankfurt

Here are some impressions from three years of MathCityMap with Iwan:

2021-03-14: International Day of Mathematics with MCM@home

March 14 is International Day of Mathematics (IDM) – and MathCityMap is there, too, of course! Our MCM educator Simone has created a great MCM@home trail. We look forward to your participation!

A truly well-rounded event! The MathCityMap@home-Trail makes clear in which objects mathematics – especially circles and the number Pi – can be found. The mathematical walk takes place in a different way than usual from home. Nevertheless, there is a lot to discover and calculate!

All you need to do is download the MathCityMap app. You can access the trail by adding routes and entering the given code. MCM users around the world were engaged in creating MCM@home trails for International Day of Mathematics (Pi Day):

  • Simone Jablonski created a MCM@home trail in Germany. The Digital Classroom can be invoked by entering the code s161437. Participation is possible between 0 and 23:55.
  • In Italy, Flavia Mammana and Eugenia Taranto prepared two MCM@home trail. With the code (044258) you can work on the trail for lower secondary students. The second trail (code 184244) treats topics on upper secondary level.
  • In Slovakia, Sona Ceretkova created the digital learning trail “[MCM@home]Pi-Nitra.” This can be accessed with the code 084229.
  • In Indonesia, Adi Nur Cahyono has prepared an MCM@home trail, which can be worked on today with the code s281455 as part of a digital classroom.

Today marks the start of our MCM online teacher training! In our MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), participating teachers will learn over the next twelve weeks,

  • … learn how to use the MathCityMap system for out-of-school mathematics education with the help of digital tools,
  • … create their own tasks and math trails with MathCityMap
  • and to conduct their own lessons in the MathCityMap digital classroom.

Of course, sharing one’s own teaching experiences is also in the foreground in this international teacher training. More than 400 teachers from all over the world are participating. We are very happy about this great response to our free MOOC, which is co-funded by the European Union within the Erasmus+ project MaSCE³.

A look back at the MCM@home Teacher Training!

Yesterday, 12 German mathematics teachers participated in our MCM@home training, which was delivered online by Matthias, Gregor and Simon.

Yesterday, 12 German mathematics teachers participated in our MCM@home training, which was delivered online by Matthias, Gregor and Simon. In three practical phases, the participants learned about the MCM@home idea from the perspective of the learners, the teachers and the MCM authors:

  • Learners’ Perspective: Teachers worked on our “MCM@home professional development” trail, which can be accessed and worked on via the MCM app using the code 783277.
  • Teachers’ perspective: we introduced teachers to the Digital Classroom as an analysis and diagnostic tool for evaluating digital learning trails.
  • Authors’ perspective: In addition to creating three tasks, teachers also each created their own trail and shared it with a workgroup.

Conclusion: In an “instructive, straight and well organized and structured program” (comment of a participant) we presented MCM@home as one promising opportunity for Distance Learning and are looking forward to many new MCM@home tasks!

MathCityMap congratulates Simone!
