 SCUOLA SECONDARIA DI I GRADO «A. MANZONI» - MONTELEONE DI PUGLIA
ICS ACCADIA - ITALIA

LA CLASSE IIIB PARTECIPA AL PROGETTO

A PROPOSITO DEL PROGETTO
•   The project "We Model Reality with Geogebra" aims to lead the students to the observation of the world around
    them, to think about funtions` graphics and to promote the research of relationships between mathematical concepts
    and real objects. It also wants to enhance the students’ computers skills through the use of specific software for
    mathematics.
• OBIETTIVI
To better understand the most elementary mathematical functions such as straight line, parables and hyperboles.
To motivate students to the study of mathematics;
To promote the interest in knowledge;
To consolidate knowledge, develop soft skills particularly in mathematics, technology, and English;
To develop inductive-deductive method, a reflective attitude, a sense of responsibility, autonomy and critical thinking;
To encourage innovation practice teaching, including through the 'use of information and communications technology
(ICT);
To develop social relations and cooperation;
To strengthen interpersonal relationships;
To develop skills such as mathematical reasoning, communication, problem solving through the teaching practice of
learning by doing.

PROCEDURA DI LAVORO
•   TOOLS: TwinSpace, Youtube, Google Drive, Geogebra, Padlet, Digital Board “Lino”, ISSUU,
    STEPS
    Step 1 - Collaborative planning using Google Drive;
    Step 2 - Presentation of the project to the students and collection of suggestions;
    Step 3 - Presentation of some digital tools and educational software that can be used for the
    development of the project;
    Step 4 - Exploration the potential of mathematical software GeoGebra;
    Step 5 - Register of students on TwinSpace;
    Step 6 - Formation of working groups with students of different nationalities;
    Step 7 - Identify functions` graphics on objects/buildings to be modeled;
    Step 8 - Share the information collected and trigger the production of a final product;
    Step 8 - Modulation of the graphics identified using GeoGebra;
    Step 9 - Teachers and students of the partner schools use Skype to expose/show their progress;
    Step 10 - The final product is published in TwinSpace and made known to the school community
    Step 11 – Avaluation of the work developed

RISULTATI ATTESI

• Presentation of the results of the work conducted by the students
 through the creation of an e-Book, that can be offered to the
 school library already printed, and on an exhibition.
 Publication on the website of the school of the students' work and
 shows during the show end of school year.

SOME TOOLS

• We learned to use Google Drive.
• We learned to use a padlet.
• We used the TwinSpace.
• We learned to use GeoGebra
• We used Movie Maker

WE MADE A MOVIE ABOUT MONTELEONE DI PUGLIA
AND OUR SCHOOL .

THE MOVIE WAS CREATED WITH MOVIE MAKER AND
 THEN IT HAS BEEN SHARED ON ETWINNING PLATFORM

Some images
published on
TwinSpace      Our
               video

WE LEARNED TO USE GEOGEBRA

WE STUDIED SOME MATH FUNCTIONS

• We drew straight lines
• Abbiamo disegnato rette nel piano cartesiano
• We drew hyperboles
• Abbiamo disegnato iperboli
• We drew parables
• Abbiamo disegnato parabole

TROUGH GEOGEBRA, WE DREW STRAIGHT LINES .
WE INCLUDED IMAGES AND FOUND THE POINT OF
INTERSECTION

RISULTATI FINALI

•   Gli alunni hanno interagito con i partners europei sul Forum del Twinspace migliorando l’utilizzo della lingua inglese nelle
    conversazioni.

•   Hanno realizzato foto e video della loro scuola utilizzando Movie Maker e li hanno pubblicati sulla piattaforma eTwinning.

•   Hanno imparato ad utilizzare GeoGebra per disegnare e calcolare angoli, area e perimetro di figure piane.

•   Hanno utilizzato GeoGebra in algebra, disegnando rette, iperboli e parabole, inserito immagini dei loro luoghi e su esse
    ritrovate algebricamente le funzioni matematiche studiate.

•   Hanno imparato ad utilizzare Google Drive per archiviare e condividere documenti.

•   Hanno imparato ad utilizzare e creare una padlet.

•   Hanno migliorato, nel confronto con ragazzi di altri Paesi, la loro autostima.
