Mathematical competence has been identified at European level as one of the key competencies of the 21st century that will facilitate active citizenship, personal fulfillment, social inclusion and employability in the knowledge society. Most of EU countries have revised the mathematics curricula in the last years focusing on competences and skills and in underlining the application of mathematics in daily life. Students’ assessment in math is an important element of the educational process in which teachers have a key role.
United by the intention to open doors to educational innovation by taking Math outside the classroom and brush up the teaching methods, teachers from 5 European countries (Turkey, Romania; Bulgaria, Lithuania, Italy) decided to initiate the present project.
GENERAL OBJECTIVE:
-to develop a common evidence- based framework for supporting students’ involvement in learning Mathematics;
Through this project we intend to encourage students to reason mathematically, apply mathematical thinking in finding solutions to real life problems, pose and solve mathematical questions and link Mathematics to logical and spatial thinking for facilitating understanding of the role of math in the society.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
- support directly 68 students and 32 teachers to develop innovative cross-curricular materials during 4 international exchanges until 01.09.2019;
- develop mathematical competence for the future to 80% boys and girls from 5 EU countries until 01.09.2019;
- stimulate curiosity and creativity among students from 5 EU schools by connecting mathematics to real life;
- increase interpersonal and intercultural communication competence among 80% participating students from 5 European schools until 01.09.2019;
- improve mathematics assessment and learning using inquiry-based learning.
