    INTRODUCCINLa actividad MATHS IN PLASENCIA, nace del trabajo colaborativo de dos profesores de la

    seccin bilinge del IES Sierra de Santa Brbara, que trabajando dentro de unametodologa AICLE, pretendemos por un lado hacer a los alumnos protagonistas de supropio aprendizaje y por otro buscar espacios de trabajo interdisciplinares donde elestudio y desarrollo de una segunda lengua extranjera cobre realmente un sentidoprctico.La idea de MATHS IN PLASENCIA nace dentro del seno del proyecto europeo ITEC, quepretende poner en marcha escenarios de aprendizaje para las aulas del futuro,introduciendo importantes transformaciones metodolgicas de la educacin y el uso denuevas herramientas tecnolgicas.El trabajo ha sido elaborado por los alumnos del 1 de ESO de la seccin bilinge del IESSierra de Santa Brbara junto a los profesores de ingls y matemticas del mismo.

    El objetivos de MATHS IN PLASENCIA es la de crear un juego, a modo de gymkanamatemtica, donde se presentan diversos problemas matemticos REALES, que deben serresueltos en su propio entorno.Uno de los atractivos ms importantes de la actividad es que dicho juego ha sidoelaborado al 100% por los alumnos de 1 de ESO del IES Sierra de SantaBrbara, con el objeto de ser puesto en marcha, no por ellos mismos, sino por losalumnos de 6 de primaria del colegio San Miguel Arcngel de Plasencia, con quieneshasta hace unos meses compartan centro de estudios.Al margen de los objetivos y contenidos puramente acadmicos, nos ha permitidoestrechar los lazos y colaboraciones con el colegio, acercando nuestros profesores,instalaciones y medios a quienes seran nuestros futuros alumnos, relajando lo que en

    algunos casos supone un traumtico paso de una etapa a otra. Gracias a la interaccin dealumnos de los dos centros hemos conseguido en parte, suavizar los grandes cambios quepara nuestros nuevos alumnos ha supuesto ese cambio.

    En las siguientes pginas encontrars las pruebas que se presentan a los grupos, sussoluciones, los recorridos de los diferentes equipos.Tras cada prueba cada equipo recibe una de las letras que forman la palabra CATHEDRAL(palabra secreta y que ser el punto final de nuestro viaje).

    Esperamos que lo disfrutis tanto como nosotros lo hemos hecho!

    CALCULATIONSFirst of all, we calculate the volume of the bin (cylinder). We need to measure the height andthe radius:

    radius r = cm height h = cm

    The volume is V= r2

    h = cm3

    Now, we convert the volume in liters, dividing by 1000

    Vbin = l

    And we also convert the volume of the can to liters

    Vcan= l

    Finally to find the number of cans that fit in the bin we divide both volumes:

    Number of cans = Vbin : Vcan = cans

    CALCULATIONSFirst of all, we calcullate the volume of the flowerpot (cuboid). We need to measure the height,width and length:

    width w = cm height h = cm

    length l = cm

    The volume is V=w l h = cm3

    Now, we convert the volume in liters, dividing by 1000

    Vflowerpot = l

    We calculate the number of sacks we need dividing the volume of the flowerpot by the volume

    of the sacks:

    Number of sacks = So, we need sacks

    Finally we calculate the total price multiplying the number of sacks by the price of each sack

    Total price = Number of sacks x Price=

    CALCULATIONSFirst of all, we measure the side, apothem and height of the fountain:

    side s = cm height h = cm

    apothem a = cm

    The area of the base is Abase=Perimeter x a

    2= cm2

    The volume is Vfountain=Abase x height = cm3

    The volume in liters is =

    Now, we are going to calculate how many liters of water we get form each water supply:

    Measure the time we need to fill the botle (1 liter)

    t1 liter = s So we need the same time to get 4 liters (4 water supplies)

    Finally, find out how long would it take to fill the fountain:

    t = (Vfountain x t4 liters ) : 4 = seconds

    CALCULATIONSFirst of all, we calcullate the volume of the elevator (cuboid). We need to measure the height,width and length:

    width w = cm height h = cm

    length l = cm

    The volume is V=w l h = cm3

    Now, we convert the volume in liters, dividing by 1000

    Velevator = l

    Only the 21% of this volume is oxygen:

    Voxygen=Velevator x21

    100= l

    A person of 70 Kg needs 0.245 liters / minute

    Dividing both volumes, we get how long could a person survive
