Königsberg Bridges
The bridges problem, produced by Mathigon, was devised by Leonard Euler (1707 - 1783), a Swiss Mathematician living in the town of Königsberg, Russia. Königsberg was divided into four different areas by the river Pregel. There were seven bridges. Euler asked whether it was possible to walk around Königsberg...
This collection of educational resources for children, the general public and teachers contains some of the materials produced by Mathigon and includes a treasure hunt activity, an exploration of the bridges of Könisberg and a video showing the properties of angles in a triangle.
Treasure Hunt
The mathematical treasure hunt, produced by Mathigon, is an engaging mathematics lesson. Students follow a trail of clues and mathematical problems around the school site; each clue contains a hint to where the next clue is hidden. The questions are taken from a wide range of different topics, and often not...
Triangles
This video, produced by Mathigon, could be used as revision, to begin a lesson about proof or as inspiration for students to make their own videos. Set to a musical backing, the video shows that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. The sequence continues to show that a quadrilateral can be split...
