MathCityMap vs Lib Manuels

The app is available in many different languages! MathCityMap is based on the math trail idea introduced in Melbourne, Australia in 1984 (that time on paper only). Since that time lots of mathematicians and math educators have picked up this fascinating idea. Just like us. Additionally we set a new approach to this project using mobile technology. The MathCityMap App for smartphones is developed for students who would like to walk a math trail during school lessons or even for interested users who want to explore their surroundings with a mathematical point of view. The app leads the user via GPS to the mathematical tasks of a chosen math trail and gives automaticaly feedback on the answers of the user. In addition the app also provides hints in case someone is lost on a certain problem. The MathCityMap web portal is for teachers and creative minds who want to create tasks and trails. Good tasks will be made public and can be used by everyone to combine them with their own tasks for a personal math trail. Furthermore the public tasks can inspire users for their own tasks. All created math trails can be solved by walking with a smartphone or can be printed out from an automatically generated PDF file. The web portal also provides tutorials how to get started, publications in the field of math trails and general informations about doing mathematics outdoors.

Lib Manuels est l’application de lecture nouvelle génération des manuels numériques édités par Belin Education, Magnard, Delagrave, Vuibert et La Librairie des Ecoles. Plus rapide et conçue avant tout pour un usage sur tablette, cette application s’utilise en complément des applications Lib Manuels web et Lib Manuels PC / MAC (pour une utilisation sans connexion internet).
