Overview: .Moderner Mathematikunterricht strebt nicht nur nach Wissensvermittlung. Er strebt auch danach, Schüler*innen dazu anzuregen, mathematische Zusammenhänge eigenständig zu entdecken und auf aktive und nachhaltige Weise selbst zu (re-)konstruieren. Mathematische Lernumgebungen spielen auf diesem Weg eine entscheidende Rolle: Sie sollen das Entdecken fördern und allen Schüler*innen ermöglichen, in ihrem eigenen Tempo und Schwierigkeitsgrad zu arbeiten...Nicole Weber-Krpoun präsentiert in diesem Buch eine von ihr selbst entworfene Lernumgebung zum Thema Spiegelsymmetrie: „Alhambra und die

Overview: Groundwater is endangered and polluted in several ways.Conservation and better management of this invisible resource shouldbe a key ingredient of sustainable water policies. This is especiallytrue in areas, such as many Mediterranean regions, which are alreadyexposed to scarcity problems and which are likely to experienceincreasing competition between freshwater uses and users. Agricultureis an important user of groundwater not only in terms of abstractions,but also in terms of generation and release of pollutants.Agricultural policies, traditionally directed towards otherobjectives,
