This workshop can be offered in Luxembourgish, French, German and English.

The workshops take place from 9:00h till 15:30h with a lunch break of one hour. During the lunch break the students can get some food from the restaurants that are located on Campus Belval and in Belval Plaza, or they can use the canteen.

The workshops in mathematics take place in the Maison du Savoir (MSA) on Campus Belval (see map for details).

If you arrive by train, the stop is “Belval Université”. The MSA building is 10 minutes away from the train station by foot. There are also several buses that you can take to arrive on the campus.

This workshop is offered either as a full-day (6.5 hrs.) or as a half-day (3-4 hrs.) course.

The full-day workshops take place from 9:00h till 15:30h with a lunch break of one hour. During the lunch break the students can get some food from the restaurants that are located on Campus Belval and in Belval Plaza, or they can use the canteen.

Teachers that choose the half-day version of the course are free to choose their preferred starting time (can be done during registration procedure).

The concept of classifying objects, that is of grouping them into different categories according to certain criteria, plays an important role in many sciences. For example, in biology organisms are classified based on common characteristics and evolutionary relationships. In mathematics exactly the same happens, and many mathematicians are concerned about the classification of mathematical objects.

This workshop gives an introduction into the concept of classification and illustrates its importance in science and mathematics. Through specific examples, such as numbers, geometric shapes, graphs or knots, the pupils see how mathematical objects can be classified and further learn how so-called invariant properties can be used to distinguish objects.

This workshop is suited for pupils from 3^e onwards.

This workshop is offered as a half-day (ca. 3.5 hrs.) course. Teachers are free to choose their preferred starting time (can be done during registration procedure).

This workshop gives students an overview of mathematical modelling and shows them how real-world problems can be modelled and solved using mathematics.

The workshop is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on linear optimization. Students learn how to formulate a linear optimization problem and how a problem with two variables can be solved graphically. They then learn about the simplex algorithm, which can be used in the general case. The second part is devoted to the modelling of growth processes, and deals in particular with the SIR model, which is used to model the spread of an epidemic in a given population.

The workshop covers, among other things

• Introduction to mathematical modelling
• Examples of linear optimisation problems
• Graphical resolution of a two-variable problem (using GeoGebra)
• The simplex algorithm
• Introduction to modelling growth processes
• Linear, exponential and logistic growth
• The SIR model with implementation in GeoGebra

This workshop is suited for students from 3ème onwards. For the part on the simplex algorithm, it is advantageous if students already have some knowledge in manipulating systems of linear equations.

This workshop can be offered in Luxembourgish, French, German and English.

This workshop is offered either as a full-day (6.5 hrs.) or as a half-day (3-4 hrs.) course.

The full-day workshops take place from 9:00h till 15:30h with a lunch break of one hour. During the lunch break the students can get some food from the restaurants that are located on Campus Belval and in Belval Plaza, or they can use the canteen.

Teachers that choose the half-day version of the course must choose one of the two parts of the workshop (i.e. optimization or population dynamics). They are free to choose their preferred starting time (can be done during registration procedure).
