Abstract:
In the article, we present the tasks of the Maths lab at Politecnico di Torino that
we tested for the first time in the academic year 2018–19, which
were proposed for undergraduate Engineering students in their first year with the aim
to integrate active learning into our traditional courses. The student activity in response
to the tasks took place in classes of at most 25 individuals. The work was organized in
small groups, mainly following a problem-solving approach and a central role was
given to artefacts and technological applications. Here, we discuss the main motivations of our lab project, two specific tasks and some data collected by means of a
questionnaire, in order to examine the interplay between tangible and virtual tools.
