“ Math's games in  E n g l i s h  language” Progetto eTwinning 2009-10
OBIETTIVI DEL PROGETTO - avvicinare gli allievi alla Matematica attraverso attività dilettevoli  - favorire l'apprendimento della Lingua Inglese in contesti nuovi BREVE DESCRIZIONE   Due docenti di  Matematica   in due Paesi diversi  (Italia e Spagna) ,  in collaborazione con i rispettivi colleghi di  Lingua Inglese ,  hanno quest’anno coinvolto  gli allievi di due classi (una per Istituto) in un Laboratorio di semplici idee e giochi in ambito logico-matematico svolti in Lingua Inglese, che ha avuto la sua naturale fase esplosiva e conclusiva con la partecipazione al concorso per festeggiare insieme  il quinto compleanno di eTwinning. Semplici contenuti della Matematica sono stati presentati in L2 alternando la lezione frontale con attività pratiche che hanno coinvolto anche altre discipline in cui le allieve hanno svolto attività laboratoriali (Disegno, Musica, Tic).  La motivazione degli studenti è man mano sempre più aumentata perché hanno appreso in un contesto ludico.  Progetto eTwinning 2009-10

Il lavoro in classe, durante l’ora di Matematica ma con la compresenza della docente di Inglese, per comprendere il quesito e iniziare una prima riflessione al fine di individuare la/le soluzioni, è spesso continuato nel Laboratorio di Informatica dove abbiamo cercato sempre di illustrare la risposta attraverso l’utilizzo del foglio di calcolo o di diapositive. In questo modo è stato facile comunicare e condividere il nostro lavoro con la classe spagnola, in quanto i file prodotti venivano poi pubblicati nello spazio comune dedicato al progetto. Brevi comunicazioni dei docenti sul Blog (Diario del progetto) sono infine servite per dare tempestività allo scambio di idee e materiali.

Draw a square, a circle and a triangle. They must have a part in common. Write down the number 2 in the part they have in common. Write the number 1 only in the square and the number 3 only in the triangle. Place the remaining numbers from 4 to 10 in the seven divisions of the above figure so that the outer divisions total 30 and each geometric figure totals 30. Help (HINT) 1. Find the sum of the numbers from 1 to 10 2. Into the square and the triangle, thirty must be the sum of six numbers (between 1 and 10). The number 1 is still into the square and the numbers 2 and 3 are still into the triangle. Into the circle, thirty must be the sum of five numbers (between 1 and 10). The number 2 is one of these … TEST 1 GIOCHI MATEMATICI IN LINGUA INGLESE  Progetto eTwinning 2009-10

Peter puts six cards down on the table.  All of them have an identical back and on the other side they respectively show +1, +2, +3, -1, -2, -3. Then Peter suggests his friend Paul the following game: they both simultaneously turn up one card.  If the product of the two numbers is positive Paul will win.  If the product is negative Peter will be the winner. After a few games, Paul notices that Peter more often wins.  So, in order to increase his chances of success, he proposes Peter to take off one card with a negative number and to start the game again with the five cards left. Is Paul right?  Justify your answer . + 1 + 2 + 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 MULTIPLYING NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE NUMBERS GIOCHI MATEMATICI IN LINGUA INGLESE  Progetto eTwinning 2009-10

  • 7. A farmer goes to the market with a hamper of eggs and sells to the first buyer half the eggs of her hamper plus half an egg; then she sells half the eggs left plus half an egg. She does the same operation for the third time and she has 3 eggs left. How many eggs did she have in her hamper at first? Take note of the fact that it was not necessary for the farmer to divide any eggs into two parts.

  • 17. Il lavoro in classe, durante l’ora di Matematica ma con la compresenza della docente di Inglese, per comprendere il quesito e iniziare una prima riflessione al fine di individuare la/le soluzioni, è spesso continuato nel Laboratorio di Informatica dove abbiamo cercato sempre di illustrare la risposta attraverso l’utilizzo del foglio di calcolo o di diapositive. In questo modo è stato facile comunicare e condividere il nostro lavoro con la classe spagnola, in quanto i file prodotti venivano poi pubblicati nello spazio comune dedicato al progetto. Brevi comunicazioni dei docenti sul Blog (Diario del progetto) sono infine servite per dare tempestività allo scambio di idee e materiali.

Write the number 1 only in the square and the number 3 only in the triangle. Place the remaining numbers from 4 to 10 in the seven divisions of the above figure so that the outer divisions total 30 and each geometric figure totals 30. Help (HINT) 1. Find the sum of the numbers from 1 to 10 2. Into the square and the triangle, thirty must be the sum of six numbers (between 1 and 10). The number 1 is still into the square and the numbers 2 and 3 are still into the triangle. Into the circle, thirty must be the sum of five numbers (between 1 and 10).

  • 25. Peter puts six cards down on the table. All of them have an identical back and on the other side they respectively show +1, +2, +3, -1, -2, -3. Then Peter suggests his friend Paul the following game: they both simultaneously turn up one card. If the product of the two numbers is positive Paul will win. If the product is negative Peter will be the winner. After a few games, Paul notices that Peter more often wins. So, in order to increase his chances of success, he proposes Peter to take off one card with a negative number and to start the game again with the five cards left. Is Paul right?
