The main objective of the course is to provide students with conceptual and operational tools that stimulate their critical learning towards the Fundamentals of mathematics, with particular reference to the development of geometry. In particular, we intend to offer students a reflection on some conceptual and content nodes that have led mathematicians from the study of the postulated V, to the birth of non-Euclidean geometries.
In particular, the course has the following objectives:
Knowledge and understanding: To know the fundamental aspects of the criticism of the postulated V and the subsequent development of different theories.
Applying knowledge and understanding: Apply the empirical and then scientific method to different mathematical results
Making judgments: Make judgments about the quality of the proposed solution and evaluate its effectiveness. Acquiring critical skills in the areas of mathematics.
Communication skills : Ability to communicate their mathematical knowledge.
Learning skills : Using the knowledge gained to acquire new knowledge.
The aim of the course is to "manipulate mathematics" through DGS, mathematical machines and 3D printing.
In particular, the course proposes the following objectives:
Knowledge and understanding: To know the fundamental aspects of the technologies used in teaching/learning mathematics.
Applying knowledge and understanding: Apply modeling skills in different contexts
Making judgments: Make judgments about the quality of the proposed solution and evaluate its effectiveness. Acquiring critical skills in the areas of mathematics.
Communication skills : Ability to communicate their mathematical knowledge.
Learning skills : Using the knowledge gained to acquire new knowledge.
The course will take place tuwice a week. An active participation of the students is required: the lessons will be frontal and participated.
