MATHOPOLIS - Mathematics Theme Exhibitry in the New Science Center of Connecticut

9453779 jordan康涅狄格科学中心将在其新的16万平方英尺内开发、评估和安装57个数学展览活动。展览设施。这些活动将使参观者了解数学是日常生活中不可或缺的一部分，也是许多职业中必要的技能。将处理八个数学主题：概率和统计；相对规模;几何;对称;数学谜题;混沌与分形；数字、测量和计算；和估计。动手活动的范围从低技术到高技术、计算机化的活动。目标受众是九岁及以上的人，博物馆每年将接待50万名游客。数学活动将分布在整个博物馆，数学将成为博物馆所有展品的综合主题。这些主题与康涅狄格州的SSI计划保持一致，该计划侧重于科学学科背景下的应用数学。在州内，与康涅狄格公共电视台联系的计划正在形成，通过知识网络广播到博物馆的电子实地考察。在全国范围内，博物馆工作人员将在博物馆和数学教育会议上向其他博物馆专业人员作报告。贯穿整个博物馆的主题融合理念将通过国家和民族传播。＊＊＊

9453779 Jordon The Science Center of Connecticut will develop, evaluate, and install 57 mathematical exhibit activities in its new 160,000 sq. ft. exhibit facility. These activities will engage visitors in learning how math is an integral part of daily life and a necessary skill in many careers. Eight math topics will be treated: probability and statistics; relative scale; geometry; symmetry; math puzzles; chaos and fractals; numbers, measurements, and calculations; and estimations. The hands-on activities will range from involvement with low-tech to high- tech, computerized activities. The target audience is people nine and up and it will be available to the museums 500,000 annual visitors. The mathematics activities will be distributed throughout the museum and math will serve as a integrating theme for all the museum's exhibits. The topics are aligned with Connecticut s SSI program which focuses on applied mathematics in context of the science disciplines. Within the state, plans are taking shape to link with Connecticut Public Television to broadcast electronic field trips to the museum through Knowledge Network. Nationally, museum staff members will make presentations at both museum and mathematics education meetings to other museum professionals. The concept of thematic integration throughout the museum will be disseminated through the state and the nation. ***
