The councilman of Culture and European Programmes, Fatima Barnuevo has attended the Science Museum to open an exhibition to show your face more useful, everyday, entertaining and fun of mathematics.
The exhibition, called 'Another look at the math', you find that visitors stop believing that mathematics is a complicated matter and boring through practical examples and activities
Thus, the exhibition is divided into three distinct parts.
The first one is based on 'everyday mathematics' and shows through twelve large panels about what they teach to relate math to everyday.
In this way you can meet the golden ratio, integrated mathematics in architecture, geometric shapes present in the sport, fractal geometry, nature in mathematical terms ...
Another area is devoted to the making of 'Activities for all' where visitors can play with up to 23 different games testing their ingenuity: their scale compared with that of the Vitruvian Man, do logic games and puzzles, made within a kaleidoscope, to observe the Penrose triangle ...
Finally, we have created an area dedicated exclusively to the smallest, where they can express themselves and develop their imagination through seven activities.
This exhibition is an example of the close collaboration between the Department of Culture and European Programmes in Mathematics Education Society of the Region.
Similarly, and also related to mathematics, the Science Museum has organized a course called 'mathematical universe', which starts today and runs through November 30, aimed at teachers of schools in the region.
In this course, which relates the mathematics to astronomy, will participate as speakers, Sensi Pastor and Jose Antonio de los Reyes, the Astronomical Observatory of the Murta and Joseph Bonnet Casciaro, president of the Astronomical Association of Cartagena, etc. .
