Math all around us on outdoor classroom day!

One day, while going to school, I tried to look at nature from a different perspective. And along the way, I realized how much mathematics is in our lives. That's how this story started.

Eylül, Baruthane Secondary School

It was a first spring morning, the leaf was sleeping. The wind woke him up with a light breeze, the leaf said;

Good morning Wind.

Berre, Zeynep Sitare, Baruthane Secondary School

Crystal, the leaf at the beginning of our story, had another friend who, like her, was blown away by the winds. His name was Fractalus.

(Ertuğrul,Utku Sehit  Musa Ozalkan İmam Hatip Secondary School)

Fractolus was such a curious leaf that flying in the winds was a hobby for him. Again, one day a rebellious wind blew him to the subway station. There he saw a huge geometric mosaic hanging on the 

wall.

“How beautiful,” said the snail, who heard this. He loved art, museums, mosaics. He wanted to walk around every day and tell what he saw.

When he couldn't go, he would only take his head out of his shell and look at the sky. Every time he looked, he saw different things and was surprised. The snail, who was very fond of mathematics, was obsessed with the palm trees and their pattern-shaped leaves that were running in parallel lines that day.

As the snail studied the trees, Fractalus fell beside him. He was surprised to see the snail Fractalus. He slowly made his way towards Fractalus.

Fractalus had beautiful colors. The color between yellow and green made her even more beautiful. When the snail got fully close to Fractalus, he realized that Fractalus was watching him too.

Fractalus introduced himself in an excited voice. '' Hi! I'm Fractalus. Flying somewhere with the wind is my hobby. I love exploring places! I stumbled upon this place while wandering around again. ''The snail was very surprised. He had no such opportunity. It was slow and heavy. He couldn't fly on the wind even if he wanted to. He introduced himself to Fractalus, then they started chatting. Fractalus told him about his travels and places. This was not for the snail. The snail liked to stay in its shell more than to roam.The wires caught their attention as the two walked together. The shape of the wires was rhombus.

   Lost, Fractalus and the snail found a door that had different shapes (circles, rectangles). Fractalus was looking carefully at the shapes and found some clues in them. Following the clues in the door they reached 

a window where they could see a big castle. At the beginning they were interested in the shapes of the window that had triangles and semicircumferences, but then they continued to the castle.

   The monument impressed them a lot and they saw that it had geometric shapes such as cubes, pyramids and several prisms. This monument is called The Alhambra and it is located in Granada, it is one of the most visited monuments in Spain.

Then, the wind left them in a beautiful window in Albaicín.

'Wow! This window was made with the Cordoban proportion by the muslisms!', said Fractalous.

The snail answered: 'It’s amazing. But, what is the Cordoban Proportion?'

`'It’s a proportion that arises as the relationship between the radius of the circumference circumscribed to the regular octagon. And its approximate value is 1.3' 

Team IES Alba Longa

The wind blew again and the snail and Fractalus fell into a fountain.

The fountain had a semisphere at the top and an octagon on the floor. It was a geometric floor full of regular hexagons and triangles. 

They walked together and they arrived at this yard. They saw that the proportion in the wall wall was the square root of two. They swam in the central prism and rested in the hexagonal fountain, but they were cold, and decided to look for a sunny place.

Fractalus and the snail continued walking until he reached a very beautiful landscape with a view of the Albaicin and many geometric shapes such as pyramids, prisms… Snail was impressed by the views, but Fractalus told the snail that they had to go. Fractalus took his hand and they flew to  Mustafa Bülbül Secondary School in Turkey.

After our team came to school from the museum visit, we took a look at the big garden of the school. The school garden was the most beautiful place we could meet. We saw that the math adventure was actually everywhere. The area where the cars were parked had a certain proportion to the whole garden. The sidewalks, wall corners were made at a certain angle. Then with friends We went to the section with flowers. We noticed a ratio in the same way. Then, while climbing the stairs with friends, we saw that the classrooms below the ground floors represent negative numbers. We finished the math adventure in the classroom.

Our teacher told us we were going to the school yard to help clean it up.  We cleaned it up and noticed the engineering drawings of the tiles in it.  We tended the school plants and noticed the shape of the fonabinicc in the alms we found that was too much.

While cleaning the school yard, we saw something moving. When we got closer to it, we realized that it was a snail. There was a pattern on its shell. I guess my friends and I were looking at the snail for a long time that our teacher came to check us. “What are you looking at?’’ she said. “There is a snail over there.’’ I said, pointing at where we found it.

She went up to it and said “Wow, it’s big. How about naming it?”. We suggested some names but we all liked what our friend said: Ray. Because we have watched  a movie where the name of the snail was Ray. After that, we returned to our class and spent the lesson talking about the snail’s pattern and math in nature.

The next day the teacher told us to go to the school yard and surroundings to look for “math”.

We have noticed that mathematics surrounds us.

We noticed plants in our school garden, and we noticed that the leaves are symmetrical.

Lea Lisica, Primary school "Bol" - Split

In addition to the leaves, we noticed many polygons. The yard and the road around the school building are paved with rectangular and hexagonal tiles.

They were surprised at how much math is around us.

Ray says: Before I had never noticed that the sun had the shape of a circle.

There was a great sunset over the trees but we should go on to our  studies at home.
