MathCityMap

MathCityMap transforms the traditional concept of math trails into a modern, engaging app for Android users. Originally introduced in Melbourne, Australia, in 1984 as a paper-based concept, this educational tool now utilizes mobile technology to create an interactive learning experience. The primary purpose of MathCityMap is to guide students and interested individuals through mathematical problems embedded in their surroundings, using GPS to lead you to various tasks on the chosen math trail.

This app is a valuable resource for both students and educators. Students can enhance their math skills during school lessons or explore their local environment from a mathematical perspective. The MathCityMap app provides immediate feedback on task solutions and offers hints if you encounter difficulties, ensuring a smooth and informative experience.

For educators and creative enthusiasts, MathCityMap includes a web portal that permits the creation of custom tasks and trails. Successful tasks are made public, offering a robust collection of challenges that can be integrated into personal math trails. You can also find inspiration for creating new tasks. The web portal supports this process by offering tutorials, publications on math trails, and general information about outdoor mathematics.

Using MathCityMap, you can print these trails as PDFs or solve them on the go with your smartphone. This app offers a comprehensive blend of technology and education, enhancing the learning experience by making mathematics an interactive, real-world activity. Experience the innovative approach of MathCityMap and bring a fresh perspective to mathematical education.
