Trophic group responses to marine reserve protection in temperate and tropical ...
Cardoso-Andrade, Mariana; Horta e Costa, Barbara; Hall, Andreia; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel Santos; Queiroga, HenriqueMarine reserves impact not only exploited species but also other groups, highlighting broader ecological effects within marine communities. While some of these effects are well documented, comprehensive assessments of overall reserve impacts on functional guilds and community structure remain limited. Our systematic review and meta-analyses used structural metrics to test global patterns across 138 tropical and...
Mathematical Treasure Hunt at UA’s Summer Academy
Oliveira, Paula; Hall, Andreia; Pais, Sónia; Morando, Paola; Spreafico, Maria Luisa SoniaTeam games offer more than just simple fun. They promote social interaction, communication, cooperation, and healthy competition. These same benefits can be harnessed in educational settings. Gamification strategies have been increasingly adopted in education. In addition to the benefits already mentioned, they also help to increase student engagement and motivation, consolidate knowledge, and improve learning ...
The Use of Games in Mathematics Learning: An Experience with Primary School Tea...
Hall, Andreia; Bastos, Nuno; Pais, Sónia; Morando, Paola; Spreafico, Maria Luisa SoniaThis article presents a workshop aimed at teachers from the 1st to 6th grades on the use of games as a pedagogical strategy for teaching mathematics. The workshop, part of the Mathematics in the Early Years 2024 conference, included the exploration of five educational games – Euclid’s Regatta, Garden Animals, Monster Samples, Islands Game, and Mathematical Twins – each one designed to address different mathemat...
Think, Solve, Win: The Open Middle Game
Bastos, Nuno; Hall, AndreiaThis paper introduces an educational game designed to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative learning through mathematics. Inspired by the Open Middle Math Problems Framework, the game offers an engaging way to challenge students’ mathematical thinking by moving beyond routine exercises into a collaborative and competitive game environment. Players, organized in teams, engage with a variet...
Pi Museum: an Educational Escape Room for Learning Mathematics
Araújo, Irene; Pais, Sónia; Hall, AndreiaThis paper presents the implementation of a virtual educational escape room (EER) titled “Pi Museum”, designed to promote interactive mathematics learning within the context of the International Day of Mathematics, celebrated on March 14th, also known as Pi Day. The EER was developed on the Genially platform and applied to 6th-grade classes in a Portuguese school as a formative assessment tool. The escape room’...
Modelling forest fire spread through discrete event simulation
Santos, Catarina; Xambre, Ana Raquel; Hall, Andreia; Alvelos, Helena; Marques, Susete; Martins, Isabel; Alvelos, Filipe Pereira eForest fires are becoming a more common occurrence in Portugal as well as worldwide. To extinguish or reduce them more quickly and effectively, it is crucial to understand how they spread. This paper presents a study and a model that shows how wildfires spread, assuming the forest can be represented by a graph, where the nodes correspond to forest stands and the arcs to the path between them. In order to do thi...
O processamento do sujeito nulo na doença de Alzheimer
Martinho, Maria José J. P. Martinho; Capucho, Filomena; Hall, Andreia; Jesus, Luis M. T.Com este estudo pretendemos conhecer melhor o impacto da Doença de Alzheimer (DA) na linguagem, mais concretamente o impacto no contexto da utilização do sujeito nulo. Analisamos as produções de doze pessoas com DA e de um grupo de controlo com a mesma dimensão, em tarefas de leitura de três tipos de frases: Simples com verbo em tempo simples; simples com verbo conjugado num tempo composto; complexas formadas p...
