Mirela Vinerean-Bernhoff och Yosief Wondmagegne leder ett seminarium och diskussion om hur man kan stödja matematisk tänkande bland ingenjörsstudenter och om verktyg som finns för att underlätta arbetet.
Titel: Task design using dynamic software and computer aided assessment system to encourage engineering students' mathematical thinking
Sammanfattning: In this talk, we plan to present an ongoing project on assessment in mathematics courses for first-year engineering students. The project focuses on design principles and investigates how the combined use of computer aided assessment system (in our case Möbius) and dynamic mathematical software (in our case GeoGebra) - both already widely used on their own - can support the development and assessment of mathematical skills through different options of automatic feedback. We investigate how first-year engineering students use the different types of feedback. A particular motivation for the project is the well-known challenge that many first-year engineering students experience when taking mathematics courses.

Titel: Teaching activities with Graph Theory: from abstraction to embodiment
Sammanfattning: A presentation of proposals for some teaching activities in discrete mathematics, mainly graph theory. Topics that are usually presented to students in higher education can be used to provide some insightful games and good ideas for problem solving and group work in primary schools.
With a Realistic Mathematics Education approach and contextualizing the learning trajectory in the embodied cognition theoretical framework, we designed and tested some tasks to be performed outdoors and/or with the use of the students’ body and movement. Students can connect the outdoor activities with other tasks that require a higher level of abstraction, understanding some mathematical properties, referring to the experience they live in first person. Some reflection and investigation about the importance of a sensory-motor experience and also of interaction with others and possibilities for further development of research.
