Math-Emotions: The Human Side of Numbers

Can we measure kindness? Can emotions be drawn as graphs?Numbers can tell human stories.Through collaborative projects, eco-math challenges, and the “Math of Emotions Gallery,” we’ll transform abstract numbers into messages of kindness, awareness, and joy.AimsTo enable students to think both analytically and empathetically. To relate mathematics to the emotional, ethical, and environmental aspects of life. To design data-based mini projects that create awareness in daily life. To measure, reflect, and understand human values through mathematical models.Expected ResultsStudents will transform emotional data they collect from their surroundings (such as happiness, kindness, and sharing) into mathematical representations like graphs, charts, and percentage analyses. Throughout the project, students will create infographics, mini e-books, podcasts, and virtual exhibitions using digital tools such as Padlet, Genially, and BookCreator. Students will be able to describe their emotions both verbally and numerically, gaining the awareness that mathematics can also express emotions. Teachers will maintain effective communication through Zoom meetings, shared evaluation forms, and TwinSpace collaborations. Participating teachers will meet measurable criteria for the eTwinning Quality Label. Students from different countries will get to know each other through shared data and emotional expressions. All partner schools’ products will be published in the “Math of Emotions Virtual Gallery” and also exhibited in their own schools.
