It has certainly been a very original way of using mathematics to celebrate the commemoration of canary daywhich took place last Tuesday, May 30.
The account of instagram ‘With the mates in the hands’, that he manages, as stated in his own profile, a group of ‘math crazy teachers’ like Ángel García Marrero and Nieves Arrocha, published a series of riddles that have as protagonists both the Canary Islands like some of their traditional dishes.
resolution of operations
The intention is to test those brave who want to face the challenge of solving a series of simple mathematical problems. ANDThe riddle consists of assigning a numerical value to each of the objects that form a sum, so that in the end it matches the result. In this way, in one of them you can see how the island of The Palmmore twice Lanzarote and the result it gives is 40. From there, according to the value of each island, a final operation is proposed.
The same system is used, but this time, instead of being islands, the elements that make up the operations are a plate of canarian ranch, another of wrinkled potatoes and one of ropa vieja; there are also couples dressed in the typical costume of the different islands and even aboriginal crafts.
In the end, the goal is to stimulate interest in the mathgetting combine training and play, to make it more attractive.
