TÜBİTAK 4004 – Gifted Students’ Search for Mathematics in Nature: Differentiated Instruction 2

This project aims to identify the effects of differentiated learning in nature on the mathematical development of gifted students. The project integrates Environment-Based Learning (EBL) with mathematics education through experiential, interdisciplinary, and student-centered activities conducted in outdoor learning environments.
The project promotes the practical application of mathematics in real-life and environmental contexts while enhancing students’ creativity, problem-solving skills, and environmental awareness.
The project is expected to achieve the following objectives:
1. Visualizing mathematical knowledge
2. Connecting mathematical knowledge with society and daily life
3. Raising awareness of mathematical literacy
4. Observing the relationship between nature and mathematics
5. Recognizing reflections of mathematics in nature
6. Associating mathematics with different areas of life
7. Promoting awareness of creative problem-solving processes in mathematics
8. Developing positive attitudes towards nature and the environment
9. Improving students’ motivation towards mathematics
