Mathématiques Table des matières: 1. réunion du groupe 2. La méthode naturelle de mathématiques: exemple au cycle 3 La création mathématique ou texte libre mathématique Question réfléchie, pensée et élaborée par Paul Le Bohec, compagnon et ami de C. - l’expression / création visant le développement de la dimension créatrice personnelle de l’enfant - le tâtonnement expérimental visant une progression au rythme de chacun et la réhabilitation du statut de l’erreur pour apprendre - la coopération (être un parmi tous) 1 - Mise en situation … à partir de la consigne suivante (toujours la même de la GS à l’université) : « A l’aide de chiffres, de points, de lettres, de traits, vous allez faire une création mathématique » - Vous avez 10 minutes. Observation collective et discussions à propos des créations. Petits tuyaux pour éviter les écueils : - Définir avec les enfants la notion de Mathématique (brainstorming) - être soi-même au clair avec la définition de la notion elle-même ; le groupe d’aujourd’hui propose :

theconversation We know that trees have many benefits. In forests they provide habitat, wood, biodiversity and ecosystem services. In cities, they can mitigate the urban heat island effect by cooling the air and reducing greenhouse gases. But, perhaps surprisingly, there is increasing evidence that trees are also good for our mental health. Are we all tree-huggers? The idea that humans are intimately connected to the earth has persisted throughout human history and across cultures. This theory helps to explain why people prefer green scenes to urban scenes, why pet owners are happier and healthier, and possibly why we’re so obsessed with cute and cuddly animals. This hypothesis was the basis of “connection to nature”. Connection to nature research is still developing, but early results seem to indicate that how connected to nature you are is related to your environmental behaviours, such as participation in recycling programs and an increase in overall well-being and happiness.

XtraMath Transit Museum General Information Back to top On Tuesdays through Fridays, our guided school programs provide students from Pre-K to grade 12 the opportunity for hands-on learning in various subject areas. Led by a staff of skilled educators, school programs complement curricular exploration of the social history of New York City, the engineering sciences, the mathematics and art of subway and station design, the history of immigration in New York City, and the urban landscape. Guided programs for special needs students ensure that all learners benefit equally from a Transit Museum visit. Teachers should mention any special needs when making a reservation. The on-line Teacher Resource Center provides step-by-step instructions for planning and reserving a class trip to the Museum. Group reservations are confirmed when a Reservation Agreement provided by the Museum has been signed by the group leader and received by the Museum.

Hug a tree – the evidence shows it really will make you feel better Written by Shelby Gull Laird We know that trees have many benefits. In forests they provide habitat, wood, biodiversity and ecosystem services. In cities, they can mitigate the urban heat island effect by cooling the air and reducing greenhouse gases.

Camp Wonderopolis Tenement Museum---New York City Tenement Museum Why a walk in the woods really does help your body and your soul Have you ever wondered why you feel healthier and happier when you stroll through the trees or frolic by the sea? Is it just that you’re spending time away from work, de-stressing and taking in the view? Or is there more to it? For more than 20 years, scientists have been trying to determine the mechanisms by which exposure to biodiversity improves health. The Japanese already had a name for the experience of well-being in nature: shinrin-yoku or “forest bathing”. We do know that a diverse ecosystem supports a varied and beneficial microbial community living around and inside us. We also know that exposure to green space, even within urban environments, increases our physical and mental well-being. The forest air The Japanese researchers suggested that we are taking in beneficial substances when we breathe forest air. Research has identified three major inhaled factors that can make us feel healthier. Research on the health benefits of plant essential oils is in its infancy. More to be done
