International Week of Mathematics

October 11-15, 2010

SUPER-M Project

UHM Math Dept.

Abstract: An event co-organized by la Commission genevoise de l'enseignement des mathématiques (comprised of the mathematics department at the University of Geneva, Switzerland and the primary and secondary school system) and the SUPER-M project of the mathematics department at the University of Hawai‘i, USA.

For one week this initiative will bring together the primary/secondary educational systems and university faculty and students. All volunteer classrooms work around a common theme. This year's theme is folding. Folding usually suggests origami or other traditional folding but it is not on this aspect that these lessons are primarily developed: there is often little mathematics in origami, especially when the purpose is to follow a pre-designed model, or the mathematics are so complex that they are accessible only to the higher grade levels. The emphasis here is to use folding activities to generate mathematical questions in relation to different levels of mathematics.
