Task of the Week

As part of the MEDA conference in Copenhagen from 05.-07.09.2018, Joerg Zender und Simone Jablonski presented the MathCityMap system and the review process. During this, various tasks in Copenhagen’s city center were created.

Task: Lateral Area of the Pillar (Aufgabennummer: 4666)

What is the lateral area of the red part of the pillar? Give the results in m².

One of these tasks is about the statue at the city center and the red area. For this, the statue has to be modelled as a cylinder. With help of the measuring tape, the circumference can easily be determined and out of this the radius. The height can be calculated by means of the regular stones.

All in all, Copenhagen was a great success for MCM!

With our conference report, we want to give an insight in our activities in Denmark’s beautiful capital city Copenhagen during the last week.

From 5th till 7th September 2018, the conference „Mathematical Education in the Digital Age“ took place. It is a part of the European Researchers of Mathematical Education, the most popular international professional association of mathematics education. More than 90 researchers from the field of digital education met during this event.  Also the team around Prof. Dr. Matthias Ludwig was part in order to present the mobile application „MathCityMap“. MathCityMap was developed at Goethe University and is a system to create and run math trails. During the stay, a math trail in Copenhagen’s city center was created as a “present” for the city. Simone Jablonski and Joerg Zender, two research assistants and PhD students presented the review system of MathCityMap and were actively involved in the working groups of the conference. Here, important contacts were established, e.g. with the partner University of Pennsilvania (Philadelphia, USA). The contribution is included in the proceedings of MEDA. A special success of the presentation was the mentioning of the project in the final closing ceremony.
