Abstract
The MathCityMap-project (MCM-Project), carried out by the IDMI Goethe- University Frankfurt (Germany), aims to provide and share outdoor modelling tasks. A web portal and a mobile app for math-trail program were created and several math-trail tasks were designed around cities allover the world and uploaded into a system by the teachers. Then students walk the trail and its tasks by the help of mobile app or a .pdf file (generated by the web portal) to find and solve mathematical modelling tasks around the city. In this paper we present the results of an experimental teaching activity through MCM-Project for primary school students. Thanks to MCM Project, we were able to design our math-trail in Catania (Italy) and involve some 10-11 aged students in its walking. Data were gathered by means of participatory observation, video recording, interviews, and questionnaires. We will show how much this kind of activity can be effective to support primary school students in the process of modelling mathematics outside the classroom.
期刊介绍：
This journal is of a multi- and inter-disciplinary nature and covers a broad range of fields including mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, and their intersection. History of science is also included within the topics addressed by the journal. The transactions of the Pelorian Academy started out as periodic news sheets containing the notes presented by the members of the Divisions into which the Academy has been and still is organized, according to subject areas. The publication of these notes for the Division (“Classe”) of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences is the responsibility of the Editorial Committee, which is composed of the Director of the division with the role of Chairman, the Vice-Director, the Secretary and two or more other members. Besides original research articles, the journal also accepts texts from conferences and invited talks held in the Academy. These contributions are published in a different section of the journal. In addition to the regular issues, single monographic supplements are occasionally published which assemble reports and communications presented at congresses, symposia, seminars, study meetings and other scientific events organized by the Academy or under its patronage. Since 2004 these transactions have been published online in the form of an open access electronic journal.
