TASK 2: Have you used Math activities/projects showing Maths in everyday life or in nature with your students? How did they go? What did they learn from implementing them? :
I like to connect Maths and Astronomy - here is an example:
Students could compare the sizes of different planets and sizes of planets with the sizes of the Sun. The attraction was the comparison of the size of the planets of our system on the example of fruits: watermelon, grapefruit, apples, lemons, cocktail tomatoes, blueberries and peppercorns. The children calculated the length of the diameters of individual planets. They had the opportunity to learn the true distance between planets and the Sun using the astronomical unit (AU). They have become aware of the cosmic distances and size of the planets by watching the material about creating a Solar System model on a scale in the Nevada desert in the USA. It was also a great opportunity to advertise the Polish Izerski Park of the Dark Sky and the planetary path that begins at the hostel in Orl in the Jizera Mountains.
I made some project where we use Maths in everyday life examples:
- MATHS IN DESIGN
- Maths on the Christmas Cards:
- MATHS UNDER OUR FEET:
- MATHS ON EURO 2012:
- PROJECT "TRAVEL OF OUR DREAMS" - one of activities:
Pupils had to calculate the cost of our travel. They had to find out the costs of tickets to the museums and public transport. They have been working using Google Drive.

- This year we were working on the activity called: "How many calories you eat?" The students made a list of their meals and calculated their energy content. Then they created a healthy menu for their peers with the calorie content appropriate for their age.
