  1. Creatingmathematicalproblemsrelated to trees Comenius projekt: More trees, yesplease!

  2. Math + problem + imagine =…waitandsee

  3. Oh, thosefractions!

  4. One day, we’ve had anexperimentalwayofteachingfractions: What is thephrase? 1st word: the third fifth ofthe word CEDAR+thesecond fifth ofthe word HRAST+V+thefourth fifth ofthe word JAVOR 2nd word: the fifth sixthofthe word PINIJA+thefourthsixthofthe word SMREKA 3rd word: the third fourthofthe word LIPA+the third eighthofthe word MARELICA+the first fourthof word the VRBA+thesecond third ofthe word BOR Solution: DRVO JE PRVO ( the wood is the first) cedar = cedar; hrast = oak; javor = maple; smreka = spruce; lipa = linden; marelica = apricot; vrba = willow; bor = pine

  7. Task-it’s like youhave to…mathstory…it’s like fun People who live in Lipa (lindentreeinCroatian) street decided to plantanalleyalongthe street to get more oxygenduringthehotsummers. Ifthe distance betweentwotrees is 2 m, andthe street is 378 m long, how manytrees do theyneed? Solution: (378:2+1)∙2= 380 stabala There are 3 branches on thetreeandoneachbrenchthere are 3 nests, ineach nest there are 2 littlebirds. Howmanylittlebirds are there? Solution: 3∙3∙2= 18 stabala

  8. Thewalnut problem Filip and his familycut a walnuttreelastyear, at the age of 20. As thewalnuttreereleasessulfur, theycanplantanothertree on that place notuntil at least one tenthofthecentury(1/10century – 2/5 decade) years. Howmanyyearsshouldtheywait to succefullyplantanothertree? Solution: 1/10 century is 10 years, 2/5 decade is 4 years; 10 – 4 = 6 years

  9. Axialsymmetry ??? Ratherconfusing for the fifth grade

  10. Paper, colourinks, scissors…they done miracles working… the first results…

  11. And, intheend…

  12. Withthecamerainthe city on theriver, youcan’t missaxialsymmetrics bytheriver Bosut, wherepeoplelivescontinuously for 9000 years

  13. Enigmatika andmath are related? Heureka!

  14. Thecrosswords working…

  15. Thecrosswordswerethe most popular to do…

  16. Therebuses ‘’’ + ‘ + ‘’’ ‘’’ Solution: JELA (Croatiantree) Solution: JABLAN (Croatiantree)

  20. Pythagoras tree

  21. Yes, treeshelps to understandbetterPythagoreantheorem… • Studentsofthe 8. grade weredrawing some odd, squaredtreeswiththehelpofPythagoreantheorem… • Pythagorean theorem has served us in the construction of one beautiful fractals called Pythagoras tree. Symmetrically Pythagoras tree occurs  that of one side of the square we construct an isosceles right angled triangle. • Boughbybough… • And, those are theresults…

  28. Similarityoftriangles

  29. I wonder how tallthattree is?

  30. Hmm, ifTalescoulddefinetheheightofCheopspyramid 2500 years ago, whycouldn’t I calculatetheheightofthistree…

  31. All I need is a woodenstick, measuringtapeand some mathematicalknowledgeaboutthesimilarityoftriangles.

  32. Measuringresults: • Treeshadowlength 15.7 m • Woodenstickheight 0.85 cm • Woodenstickshadowlength 1 m

  33. TREE STICK x 0,85 m 15.7 m 1 m Now I onlyhave to do a littlemath

  34. Treeheight : stickheight = treeshadow : stickshadow x : 0.85 = 15.7 : 1 x = 13.345 m So, thetree is 13.345 m high.
