ILS 6th graders began their study of positive and negative numbers by meeting with Pythagoreans. Students from 7th grade sections 7M3 and 7M2 dressed as ancient Greek scholars prepared a fascinating journey back to the origin of positive and negative numbers.
To help the students master the material, the teacher asked them to conjure up positive and negative heroes from various fairy tales.
"It is good that when exploring a new topic, the students immediately see practical applications for their knowledge," notes ILS Principal Oga Shevchenko. "I am certain that even the most difficult concepts can be exlained in simple words, supported by simple ideas. Without mathematics, there would be no computers, no airplanes, no musical compositions, no architectural masterpieces. Creative lessons promote better understanding of material and also develop creative thinking."
