ABOUT OUR PROJECT...
Katerina Atmatzidou-Matilde Aimeta
Find the hidden math in school activities.
Math as a tool to prepare students for real life.
This project is about life itself and the choices that are made.
Math is a tool to find out .At some point in their lives, people have to make choices. Math help them.
Even daily life requires choices of some sort, so it is our responsibility to educate our youth and make them aware of the consequences. Math will always be the tool to achieve it.
At the end of the project, each partner school intended to publish a brochure about the activities, including articles from the virtual magazine of the project.
Students can be asked to produce their own photos, videos or audio recordings as part of a course or (collaborative) assignment and publish them (e.g., on YouTube2).
They can record interviews, take photos of study materials, film experiments, or, in general, record study results, such as theatrical presentations, interactive exercises and natural observations.
Aims
Students are more aware of studing maths within an investigation. Not be afraid of maths is the first step to love studing maths. The next step is engange them to have higher marks in exams. In the end of the project, the pupils are able to:- speak with confidence in themselves- using ICT as a strategy for searching information, solving tasks, sharing and disseminating results and as a communication tool for both teachers and pupils.- be more creative- have their own ideas - work in team/ as a team- learn to respect the thoughts and efforts of their peers.- learn about history and culture of other countries especially when the stories come from different nations.- Promoting team work and developing multiple intelligences- open the boundaries of the classroom and become an extension of learning for the students- a more living relevant curriculum will be delivered to them.
