A cross-curricular approach in the Mathematics and Philanagnosi Clubs


A cross-curricular approach in the Mathematics and Philanagnosi (Literature) Clubs
The Erasmus activities still go on to serve Goal 4: “Quality Education”, reminding us of the actions during the 1st Mobility in Ioannina, Greece, that had to do with the use of Mathematics.
The Greek Minister of Education proclaims 2018 as the "Year of Mathematics", because it includes, among other things, the commemoration of two world stables, due to Greek mathematicians of antiquity. In particular, this is the number π = 3.14159265 (Archimedes), the day of which is celebrated on March 14 (3.14), and the φ = 1,618 ... 1 ("golden ratio" - Theanos), the day of which is specially celebrated this year June 1st (1.6.18).
In this context, on Friday March 2nd, the Mathematics and Filanagnosis Groups programmed a cross-thematic action with relevant presentations (Pythagoras Cup - meaning of the measure), as well as the projection of the film "Agora" (Hypatia), referring to life of the famous mathematician and the turbulent era she lived (4th century A.D.), when the destruction of the Library of Alexandria occurred.
During the action, the pupils gained valuable knowledge and enjoyed the combined experience of the two cognitive subjects, mainly in terms of "measure" and "golden ratio" both in mathematics and art, and in their lives in general.

Teachers of the Clubs: Maria Papageorgiou - Eleni Zikou
