- The course will offer the knowledge of a collection of innovative teaching proposals, belonging to a common "laboratorial" methodology.
The student will get the skill to apply this methodology, using concrete and/or visual tools in planning teaching activities for mathematics. - Teaching methods
- The students will explore Mathematical Laboroatory activities, according to the document Matematica2003 of the Unione Matematica Italian; they will visit the collectio of mathematicals exhibits belonging to the "Galleria di Matematica" of the "Centro di Ateneo peri i Musei Scientifici." During the course, these exhibits, their mathematical meaning and their possible didactical uses will be explained. The students will be guided to realize copies of some materials themselves.
- Learning verification modality
- The exam will evaluate how the student is able to use the Laboratory method for teaching mathematics.
So the student will choose a subject (with the teacher) and then will develop a didactic proposal over this subject. The exam will consist in explaining and discussing this proposal.
The exam can be discussed also in English, if the student prefers so. - Extended program
- Laboratory activities about the vision: The Laboratorio di Bhaskara exhibition. Teaching activities through its exhibits.
Laboratory activites about polyhedra. From the cube to the beehive. The birth of a football.
Laboratory activities for low attainers, and for handicapped students: the Carte di Bhaskara; exhibits for blind students.
