This is third year when our school is working on "Connecting Math" Project. As usual we enthusiastically received our mates from Barcelona, Spain proposal to work in partnership. Last year in October we chose some of the activities that the coordinators suggested, but we proposed others too such as "From Math to Music", "Fractals Challenge" and "Tangram Spring". We firstly focussed upon the class organization and on the activity of statistics creation. This work had the same subject with the one from last year related to the personalities from the front page of the newspapers. The main conclusion of these activities was that the women are in minority, especially in policy and economy. We think this is not their option, but the society does not offer the women and men equal opportunities. We cannot anticipate what the situation will be when we become adults. In our class the girls are in top because they have the best results at school and in school competition too. For example, recently 5 girls and just 2 boys won main prices in the regional Math competition. One of the favorite activity was "Just for Fun", an opportunity to share problems, funny exercises and Math curiosities with all participants from every corner of the world. Another activity we proposed was "Math, Music and Arts". Maria Dumitru' works were finalized by two reports: "From Math to Music" and "Tangram Spring". "Fractals Challenge" was a special activity proposed by some of our colleagues who approached the subject in Logo and justified the reasons that was a new way to see the world. As every time before the project "Connecting Math to Our Lives" represented an occasion to approach more and more Math' side. We are convinced that now many of us love Math, because we know its beauty and order. Catalina Stoica
