2. Themain project aim • to show pupilsvarious uses of mathematics knowledge in non-standard situations

3. The project’s description • We chose two of themes for the school projects: • Room of my dreams • Clocks • Optional : multimedia presentation • Pupils worked in 9 three-member groups - each group had different subject to work out.

4. The project’s description Interdisciplinary activities : mathematics, history, geography, physic, biology, art. Activities: • planning work within groups • searching for and using information • carrying out the project (building a model in a scale, making a sun clock, a water-glass, estimating the cost, …) • presenting the effects • self-assessment and evaluation

5. I. Room of my dreams: 1.Purposes: - prepare project of furniture of pupils room - work out a plan of enterprise - execute of cost estimate of repair works

6. 2. Elaboration of project : At first pupils have designed shape and measurements of the room, next they have chosen furniture and they prepared cost estimate of repair works. For visual presenting of room they made spatial dummy.

7. 3.Manner of presentation: multimedia presentation

12. II. Clocks: 1.Purposes: -Learning about history of clocks -Review of manners of measuring the time -Construction and description: → sun-dial → water-glass → star clock (nocturnal)

13. 2. Elaboration of project: At first pupils have analyzed history of clocks, next they have constructed and they have described three clocks: - Sun-dial - Water-glass - Nocturnal They have presented package of jokes connected with clocks and they have made quiz about clocks.

14. 3. Manner of presentation: Presentation of executed models and discussion about their operations.
