The Mystery Within Seljuk Geometry
The Mystery Within Seljuk Geometry: One Star, Eight Gates, A Single Truth… The eight-pointed star in Seljuk architecture represents a magnificent synthesis of the gates of Paradise—as understood in Islamic belief—and various philosophical virtues. Each point of the star corresponds to a specific gate: the Gate of Prayer (Mercy), the Gate of Rayyan (Compassion), the Gate of Charity (Gratitude), the Gate of Jihad (Loyalty), the Gate of Repentance (Generosity), the Gate of Those Who Suppress Their Anger (Justice), the Gate of the Contented (Truthfulness), and the Gate of Eymen (Keeping Secrets). Together, these gates symbolize the human journey toward both spiritual and moral maturity. This bridge, spanning the space between earth and sky, serves as a symbol of a profound truth.

Erasmus Days at our school!
As Kaşgarlı Mahmut Secondary School, we took our place at the event organized by Necmettin Erbakan University and Konya Provincial Directorate of National Education as part of Erasmus Days. 
Within the partnership of Türkiye, Italy, and Romania, we presented our project “Mathematics of Reality STEAM” and shared our work that brings mathematics together with technology, art, engineering, and cultural heritage. We were thrilled to introduce our project, which centers on learning, producing, and gaining new experiences through international cooperation.

Orienteering
As part of Math Week on April 26th, we held a digital outdoor orienteering game with our students as one of the activities of our Erasmus+ project, “The Mathematics of Reality is STEAM”. At the task stations, named after the initials of the STEAM disciplines, our students practically developed their mathematical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, while also actively experiencing the experiential learning process offered by outdoor learning environments.

New eTwinning Activity: The Eco-Engineers Lab!
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, coIn February, we had a fantastic first mobility for our Erasmus+ project “The Mathematics of Reality is on STEAM”. The theme was “Let’s look at maths from the energy and engineering side”.
We truly enjoyed having our partners from Turkey and Italy with us! To deepen our knowledge, we have created a collaborative E-Book.
The Students’ Task:
he Students’ Task:
1. Analyze the energy data table on Page 7.
2. Find a pair of template pages that have not been personalized yet.
