About the project:

The project is complementary as it is being important both for pupils and teachers. Students from all participant countries will regularly work and cooperate on the project tasks.  The students will have the chance to introduce their ideas within the tasks as well as identifying with other students from other participant countries. The participating teachers will experience virtual classroom experience by teaching and sharing their knowledge via the Internet. They will experience different teaching methods, and will be able to share good practice within participant countries, using the Internet and available matching sources (social media). They will create the basis for important lessons with different Maths tasks.
Communication will be carried out by the means of the Internet, via different virtual workshops, webinars and meetings. Each project stage will be assessed by the teachers and students of a different school partner.
This project will be also beneficial for students’ parents. As mentioned before, not only the students are those who will have the opportunity of eliminating and overcoming possible prejudices, but their parents as well. Due to the student exchange, the latter will be involved in the international exchange, which will be beneficial to their attitude towards other cultures and countries.
 
The project is innovative as other partner schools didn’t approach the subject from this perspective. Variety of pedagogical approaches and methods, as well as, ICT knowledge will be used frequently.
Implementing and broadening the knowledge of certain parts of Maths, which will be used and useful in pupils’ later life.
We will introduce students and prepare them for a car purchase, calculations with different currencies, car leasing, architectural measurements and differences, and different measure systems.
We will enhance and develop pupils’ ability of observation, upon which their conclusion and decisions will be made. On the other hand, we will enhance their skills of observing, logical thinking, creative problem solving, work and cooperation within the group. We will try to overcome students’ reluctance of studying Maths and improving their interest in it, as demonstrating its benefit to us in everyday life. Students will realize the correlation between languages, Maths, ICT, architecture, culture, which will be of a great benefit. Students will gain self-esteem which will be implemented through gaining experience by getting directly involved in the activities, which is related to self-education and improving their lifelong learning.
The project will enhance participants’ knowledge by sharing and exchanging experiences regarding different cultures.
We will create useful cookery book, brochures, regarding Maths, using ICT skills and web tools, which will serve as an educational material and a result of the project itself.
We will develop pupils’ ability of using modern ICT tools for communication, web-searching, presentation, and providing information.
The project will enhance teachers’ skills by providing them a chance to share different methods and approaches on the subject, as well as experiencing exchange and cooperation, which will enhance their social, language, ICT, and professional skills.
The project will be introduced and added to school curriculum.
