On this page you can download the exhibition’s educational dossier in four languages: Italian, French, German and English. The dossier will be expanded and refined over time, so we invite you to share it and participate in its improvement, using this blog. The first draft was written by the staff of L’ideatorio in collaboration with Prof. Antonietta Mira and Federica Bianchi of the Faculty of Economic Sciences at USI. The dossier was then enriched thanks to the collaboration of Prof. Paola Mira (mathematics and science teacher at the middle school in Casorate Primo, Italy), Prof. Silvia Sbaragli (SUPSI) and Luca Crivelli (SUPSI) for didactic insights, and Fabio Meliciani.
It is not intended to be a scientific handbook but a cue for teachers visiting the exhibition and corresponds to the information in the NUMB3D BY NUMB3RS! (Diamo i numeri!)
DOSSIER STRUCTURE
The dossier consists of three parts in line with the organization of the DIN exhibition: DIGITS (mathematics), DICE, (probability) and DATA (statistics, big data, data science).
