Description of the Experience
Mathematics, for me, has always been my Achilles' heel. It has always been a little obnoxious because I could / can never do what I am asked by the exercise. Of course, there are some topics that I liked more and others that I liked less, but I do not think it's a problem of matter but rather of personal taste.
From the fifth year, honestly I find it hard to find a topic that I liked. I found a lot of difficulties even just to enter the mechanism and understand how to carry things to do, such as the limits.
A topic that I do not like, because I did not understand and it seems Arabic to me, are the derivatives. Initially I had figured out what they were and how to perform them, but then things got complicated and I got lost.
However I do not believe that mathematics has a problem with the students or with me, but we have a big problem with math because we can not really enter into what it is, assuming that it is not so important, it must be good to learn things by heart. I always try to engage and try to understand why you do one thing rather than another, but it is not enough.

Dissemination Seminar in Florence

31 October 2015 The seminar has been held in ITIS “A. Meucci” one of the schools involved within Goerudio project activities. Its main aim was to promote the results of the project toward a broad sample of stakeholders even overcrossing the number of people directly involved in the production of project outcomes. This purpose has been totally achieved especially thanks to the participation of students and teachers coming from different schools or from other classes instead of those ones directly involved within the project activities.
