and we met.

....and we met. Such as scheduled, we met at 10:00. Students were excited to meet their partners again. And, why not to mention it?, a bit sad because it could be the last meeting.
On Tuesday we had an extra lesson to prepare the video with our rap. We know we are not good rappers, but we tried. Who knows, perhaps next time it will be better.
Here it is what we rapped for YOU:

"A mathematician's diet" Elefsina's farewell song

Pythagoras, the 6^th century B.C. Greek mathematician, scholar and so much more, was a vegetarian and thought that beans were kin to men, so they shouldn’t be eaten. More theories on bean abstinence here

Look out for our film on Pythagora's banquet in Food for thought!

Eratosthenes, the 3^rd century B.C. Greek mathematician was able to culculate the earth’s circumference with great proximity. Of course he thought it was a sphere, but mankind forgot that for many centuries later. He starved himself to death, when he realized he was going blind.

More Math and diet trivia:

The Tyrian mathematician Porphyry  Malchus, Eratosthenes’ contemporary, was a vegetarian, since he was influenced by Pythagorian theories about animals having a soul.

Kurt Gödel, Eistein’s friend, and one of the most important people of the 20th century, who proved that one cannot attain absolute mathematical truth (incompleteness theorem), starved himself for fear of getting poisoned.

Please remember: Millions of mathematicians were normal eaters!!

 

NUMBERS PLAYGROUND

Numbers Playground from Valentina Cuadrado on Vimeo.

A nice way to say goodbye to our partners seemed to be showing them how our first contacts with Maths, numbers, was. This is why we decided to go out to the playground again.
Childhood revised from the beginning when learning by imitation was the aim of the first game.
Coordination at jumping, counting and skipping together, a collaborative game where everybody is necessary. The last song was just a popular rhyme to choose a player, our presenter for us.
A combination of fun, maths, experiences and collaboration.
As Marta says, now it's your turn to play! Have a good summer!
