Teaching & Learning

The eTwinning project "Let's Get to Know Each Other" was developed in the English classes at Zarco Secondary School, through an online partnership with schools of Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Poland and Hungary, with a total number of 246 students and 14 teachers from 7 different countries across Europe. The students created an e-magazine on different aspects of each country's identity. Together with the crucial intercultural contact, a special motivation for written tasks in English has been created by using the Twinspace as a web 2.0 tool for active learning.

Pi, Greek letter (π), is the symbol for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi Day is celebrated by math enthusiasts around the world on March 14th. With the use of computers, Pi has been calculated to over 1 trillion digits past the decimal. Pi is an irrational and transcendental number meaning it will continue infinitely without repeating. The symbol for pi was first used in 1706 by William Jones, but was popular after it was adopted by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in 1737.
There are many ways of celebrating Pi Day. Some of them include eating pie and discussing the relevance of π. And it's just a coincidence, but it is also Albert Einstein's birthday... So, one more reason to celebrate!
