Creating with Cospaces

VR in Math classes, why?

A new point of view to work and learn about Irrational numbers.We use numbers to create a new world.

Cordovan proportion

Golden ratio

Immersive Virtual Reality

Immersion into VR is a perception of being phisically present in a non-physical world.With CoSpaces Edu, teachers and students can create virtually any thing in the classroom

A virtual museum about Irrational numbers

Three Rooms: - Golden ratio - Cordovan proportion -.Irrational numbers

Creating with Cospaces

"When Coding, students are not just learning to program, they develop design strategies that carry over to non-programing domains"

Mitchel Resnick

How to plan the project

Stage 1

Stage 3

Stage 2

Introduction. Master class about Irrational numbers and its pressence in art and nature.

Create a final product: presentation, video, collaborative map, VR museum.

Research project. Look for information about irrational numbers in local architecture and nature.

ASSESMENT

The 7 bridges of Königsberg. A virtual presentation

World problems.

Create a scene:

• Expose a world problem
• Share the scene with QR
• Scan codes
• Visit and solve as much problems as possible.

The Educational Technology is a resource to create, to become a maker.

VR resources as a new way to express themselves: new possibilitites to create new contents.

Computational Thinking offers students and teachers new strategies for everyday work on STEM Education.

Thank you very much!
