Event description
In my presentation, I will introduce the project Mathematics in the Media, which connects the development of reading and mathematical literacy through authentic word problems inspired by real media texts. The aim is to demonstrate how articles from newspapers, magazines, or online sources can serve as a starting point for creating and solving interdisciplinary word problems in educational practice. Within research conducted at the primary school level, methods for working with authentic tasks were tested, based on topics such as mountaineering, geography, zoology, and history. Pupils worked in groups, analyzed texts, searched for data, created graphs, performed calculations, and discussed their solutions. The results show that this approach supports not only mathematical skills but also critical thinking, information literacy, and collaboration.
L'evento è aperto agli studenti dell'indirizzo didattico della Laurea Magistrale in Matematica, ai docenti delle scuole e più in generale a tutte le persone interessate.
