This study presents an innovative educational experience that brings mathematics beyond the traditional classroom setting, with a dual focus: firstly, to diminish students' apprehension towards the subject by immersing them in a more engaging and stimulating environment; secondly, to enhance their problem- solving abilities through real-world, concrete situations. By working in an open, natural space, students are encouraged to apply mathematical concepts in a hands-on, contextualized manner, fostering a deeper connection between theory and practice.

Abstract

This study presents an innovative educational experience that brings mathematics beyond the traditional classroom setting, with a dual focus: firstly, to diminish students' apprehension towards the subject by immersing them in a more engaging and stimulating environment; secondly, to enhance their problem- solving abilities through real-world, concrete situations. By working in an open, natural space, students are encouraged to apply mathematical concepts in a hands-on, contextualized manner, fostering a deeper connection between theory and practice.
