Overview

"Qual è la forma di un ""giro della morte"" in un roller-coaster? Che traiettoria descrive il passeggero di una vorticosa giostra? Quando si guarda ad una ruota panoramica si vede davvero una circonferenza? A partire dai consolidati percorsi didattici di Matematica nel parco di Mirabilandia il libro offre, oltre alla loro puntuale descrizione, anche molti spunti di approfondimento teorico e didattico. Viene affrontato il tema della modellizzazione e del suo insegnamento a scuola, del rapporto tra matematica e realtà, del ruolo dell'ambiente di apprendimento, del laboratorio di matematica. Viene illustrato l'utilizzo, a scuola e nei percorsi didattici, di giochi, software e calcolatrici grafiche, e di macchine matematiche, alcune delle quali ideate e costruite appositamente per il progetto Matebilandia. Si approfondiscono applicazioni didattiche di curve geometriche come ellissi, parabole, spirali, epicicloidi, fornendo utili schede di laboratorio pronte per l'utilizzo in aula."

Reviews

From the book reviews: It can be read by teachers who are interested in explaining mathematical concepts with a touch of reality and amusement, taking into account issues and approximations given by any real situation. Matebilandia collects a number of ideas and materials, using the rides of an amusement park as an innovative way to teach mathematical concepts through the modeling of real phenomena. The book is well written, and provides the reader with interesting ideas about this didactic approach . (Nevio Dubbini, Mathematical Reviews, July, 2014)
