Justification of this activity Whit this activity we expect to contextualize some specific mathematical contents. We are taking advantage of this beautiful story to make our work more real. This is a motivational activity that it will be developed through a cooperative project. In this particular case, our pupils will become architects and builders to the serve of Gediminas. They desire, like his leader, to build the greatest tower and city ever in their country. This city would become the present day capital of Lithuania. I hope you like and enjoy this activity.

- 1. Justification of this activity Whit this activity we expect to contextualize some specific mathematical contents. We are taking advantage of this beautiful story to make our work more real. This is a motivational activity that it will be developed through a cooperative project. In this particular case, our pupils will become architects and builders to the serve of Gediminas. They desire, like his leader, to build the greatest tower and city ever in their country. This city would become the present day capital of Lithuania. I hope you like and enjoy this activity.
- 2. THE GEDIMINAS DREAM THE BIRTH OF THE LITHUANIA CAPITAL We are going to help Gediminas and their workers (architects, builders and bricklayers) to build the dreamed tower and the city of Vilna.

Good luck and enjoy! The Gediminas builders should buy 3432 bricks to build the tower, 867 cement sack bag and 745 kilos of sand to mixture with cement. The price of the bricks is 1,59 litas each, each cement sack bag 24 litas and each kilo of sand cost0,23 cent of lita more than the price of cement How much will be the total of everything? These are the prices of the stuff necessary for his bricklayers. Putin order and calculate these additions in both directions, the total in both mustbe the same.
