Title "Math Adventures Around the World"

Level Secondary Education (Ages 14-16)
Overall Timing 60 minutes
The aim of this CLIL session is to explore mathematics concepts through
Global Aim cross-cultural math problems and activities, integrating mathematical
thinking with cultural awareness in an interactive and engaging manner.

Learning Outcome(s): By the end of the session, students will be able to:

1. Solve math problems from different cultures, showcasing problem-solving skills.

2. Recognize the cultural elements and applications of math in real-world contexts.
3. Use appropriate mathematical vocabulary and expressions to communicate their
solutions.

Brief Description of Activities and Their Individual Timings:

1. Warm-up (5 minutes):
o Begin with a short video clip showcasing diverse cultural practices involving
math, such as traditional games or unique counting methods.
o Engage students in a brief discussion about how math is used differently in
various cultures.
2. Introduction to Cross-Cultural Math Problems (10 minutes):
o Provide an overview of cross-cultural math problems, explaining how different
countries use math in their daily lives.
o Present two or three math problems from different cultures and discuss their
unique approaches to problem-solving.
3. Vocabulary Building (15 minutes):
o Introduce key mathematical vocabulary and expressions related to the
problems, such as "equation," "variable," "ratio," and "measurement."
o Engage students in vocabulary activities, like matching words with definitions
or using them in context.
4. Cross-Cultural Problem-Solving (15 minutes):
o Divide students into small groups and assign each group a different math
problem from a specific culture.
o In their groups, students work together to solve the assigned problem using
their mathematical skills.
o Each group presents their approach and solution to the class, highlighting the
cultural context of the problem.
5. Practical Activity: Math Games from Different Cultures (10 minutes):
o Introduce students to traditional math games played in different countries.
o Divide students into pairs or small groups to play these games, applying
mathematical strategies to win.
6. Reflection and Wrap-up (5 minutes):
o Lead a short reflection on the session, asking students what they have learned
about cross-cultural math.
o Encourage students to share their insights into the different problem-solving
techniques and cultural applications of math.
o Conclude the session by emphasizing the importance of understanding math in
diverse cultural contexts.
