STUDENT CAMP
14 – 18 May 2016
The Student Camp is the second workshop for students involved in EMMA. In 2015 the first workshop took place at the Bundesinstitut für Erwachsenenbildung in Strobl at Lake Wolfgang. Austria. 27 students from the HTL Braunau participated with great commitment. This year the Student Camp will take place in the Nesin Mathematics Village, which offers an optimal environment for activities at the interface between university and school. The Student Camp aims to strengthen the cooperation between the researchers of EMMA and the Austrian students of the affiliated and further secondary schools. Lectures on topics of EMMA will lay the foundations for computer experimentationsto be carried out by the students. Together, students and researchers will analyze and discuss the results and will exchange their knowledge and experience in algorithmic mathematics. Being in the Nesin Mathematics Village will give them the opportunity to carry out mathematical research in an exciting cultural setting.
EDUCATION DAYS
15 – 17 May 2016
In addition to the Student Camp there will also be the accompanying Education Days, where the emphasis will be on the exchange of ideas between the Austrian and Turkish colleagues. There will be presentations on various topics from the fields of educational research and the opportunity to exchange experiences in mathematical education. As with the coffee breaks the Education Days will serve to promote individual discussions. The following talks are confirmed:
The Fundamental Idea of Functional Dependance in Teaching Cryptography at Secondary School Level
Teresa Bachinger – University of Salzburg, Austria
Mathematics Curriculum in Turkey and a Comparison with the CCSS in the US
Evrim Erbilgin – Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Turkey
Algorithmic Thinking in the focus of Mathematics and Computerscience Education
Karl Fuchs – University of Salzburg, Austria
Opinions Of Mathematics Teacher Candidates Regarding Micro-teaching Experiences And Their Expectations From School Practice Lessons
Deniz Kılıç– Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Turkey
Using Technological Tools in Learning of Mathematics
Melike Yigit Koyunkaya – Dokuz Eylül University, Turkey
How to develop spatial ability
Günter Maresch – University of Salzburg, Austria
Teaching Programming at Secondary School Level
Cornelia Mayer – University of Salzburg, Austria

Simon Plangg – University of Salzburg, Austria
Cryptography in School Teaching
Ingo Rath – AKG Salzburg, Austria
University Mathematics in Vocational Secondary Schools
Wolfgang Schmid – University of Salzburg, Austria
The Sparkling Science Project EMMA – Experimentation with Mathematical Algorithms
Andreas Schröder– University of Salzburg, Austria
MATHEMATICS IN A NUTSHELL
The lecture series – Mathematics in a Nutshell – will be given in English, thus enabling the Turkish students of the Mathematics Village and other interested persons to participate. The following four lectures will introduce the basic ideas of diophantine equations, i.e. polynomial equations with two or more unknowns and only integer solutions, and of finite elements, which are used to numerically solve partial differential equations resulting, for instance, from problems in mechanical engineering.
Diophantine Equations, Part I and II
Christina Karolus – University of Salzburg, Austria
Christoph Hutle – University of Salzburg, Austria
Finite Elements, Part I and II
Paolo Di Stolfo – University of Salzburg, Austria
Jan Petsche – University of Salzburg, Austria
NESIN MATHEMATICS VILLAGE
The Nesin Mathematics Village is owned by the Nesin Foundation and is located 1 km away from the village of Şirince (Selçuk district, Izmir). Perched on a hillside and overflowing with greenery, it is a place where young and old learn, teach, and think about mathematics in peaceful seclusion. It is also an ideal environment for various types of work groups and meetings, from teaching at primary school level to the most advanced research, mathematical activities at any level can take place simultaneously in the village.
