« Mαθητές στα χνάρια του μαέστρου του παράδοξου M.C. Escher »

Abstract

Aiming at the change of the learning process, from the memorizing-individual to an exploratory-group collaboration and on the other hand due to the development of skills and the cultivation of positive attitudes and behaviors of the students, has been introduced a schedule of innovative programs in the educational system of our country which is considered as a natural consequence of the needs of modern times, in an attempt so that the school responds to contemporary cultural demands as well as to the socio- economic and technological developments. The students, in the context of such an innovative Mathematics and Art program, were instructed to study the work of M.C. Escher, then to design their own tessellations nοt only with paper and scissors but also with dynamic Geometry software as well. They collaborated and after working intensively, they prepared a special presentation of  their designs as they always do the last six school years in our MATHEMATICS LAB.
