In this project "For Dynamic Mathematics: STEM" we fostered the mathematical and algorithmic thinking, problem solving, teamwork and self-management skills for both teachers and students. Mathematical thinking is something that people pay more attention to than ever before. Many studies show how important mathematical thinking is for people to be more effective in their careers and in today's digital world. The goal of our project was to strengthen learners' ability and motivation to study mathematics based on their own experience. We wanted to pay particular attention to those for whom the traditional way of teaching mathematical skills is not suitable and does not fully develop their potential for a future career.
We were looking for a new way to teach and learn math and allow our students to better integrate their math knowledge into their real life. In this project, our basic motivation with our partners was to organize math and technology-oriented activities and increase project-based studying. Our goal was to integrate students' mathematical knowledge with their real life situations with the help of technology.
We gave students the possibility to exchange ideas, compare and learn according to their age level. Students were supported in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences such as digital competence, personal social and learning competence, literacy and languages, science, civic competence and cultural awareness. During these mobilities, we implemented STEM (Science, Technology, Mathematics, Engineering) lessons and project learning to ensure that students learnt meaningfully.
