First meeting at the Parwo ‘Mathhouse’

Friday 21 February we had our first meeting at the Parwo ‘Mathhouse’ in Tilburg.

As introduction Dirk van der Straaten had gathered information about us students from Facebook or our Blogs. We had to put the pictures by the right information. Sometimes it was difficult to find the right picture by the information. Therefore we actually had to have more information and I got immediately the connection with the Parwo-project, because children need also more information before they start with formal sums! We have to invest in the buoyancy. After that we got a lot of information from Dirk about the leading principals of the Parwo-project. He told us about the iceberg metaphor, the matrices, the Parwo characters and many more. This was really helpful for me. Then we did some activities in pairs. This activities were about numbers and the metric system.
