The Experiment of Eratosthenes
In Greek primary education there is no mention of Eratosthenes' method. Primary school students are taught at school that the shape of the Earth is “an oblate spheroid” by a series of impressive photographs of the Earth from space. This knowledge remains useless, if students do not engage themselves in "measuring the Earth" with simple mathematical calculations .
