Iguales, también en Matemáticas

"A escala mundial, no existe diferencia de género en el rendimiento matemático". Esta es la conclusión de Jonathan Kane y Janet Mertz, dos investigadores de la Sociedad Americana de Matemáticas (AMS). Hicieron el estudio con el objeto de erradicar el mito de la inferioridad en matemáticas del sexo femenino. Publicaron un informe comparando datos mundiales del rendimiento por género en esta ciencia ("Debunking Myths about Gender and Mathematics Performance". Notices of the American Mathematical Society), y esta es la conclusión.Yo ya lo sabía...

Negative number tales

I would like you to write a Math Tale. What is that? These are short stories with a problem to solve. What I suggest you to do is to write a funny math story with a simple problem to solve about negatives. Use negative numbers and negative situations (ex. Temperatures below zero, loans, money, debts, lifts…). Work in pairs. Include your names and stories as a comment, and, of course, solve your problem!

You can see more examples in http://mathtales.ca/stories.html
And here you have a useful dictionary
You can start with: ONCE UPON A TIME... or LONG TIME AGO...


USEFUL VOCABULARY:
Below zero: bajo cero
Loan: préstamo
Credit: crédito
Steal, rob: robar
Lose: perder
Debt: deuda
Go down, decrease: bajar, descender
Go up, increase: subir, aumentar
Climb: escalar
Peak: cima, pico
lift: ascensor
basement: sótano

 Enjoy it!

Negative numbers (I. Whole Numbers, Number line)

Hello boys and girls,

now that the weather is getting colder, it is the best time of the year to study NEGATIVE NUMBERS :-)

These are part of a bigger group, called Whole Numbers.

To study them, the number line is very useful; it may help you to tell which numbers are bigger or smaller. Read about number line by clicking here (remember to solve the six questions down). After that, play this game for a while to see if you really understood...

At the end of the class, if you feel comfortable with number line and operations on it, try with this game, with more difficult movements... Play

Good luck,

ALICIA
