‘Creative Problem Solving & Digital Education in 21st Century Teaching, Learning & Assessment’

Our project comprises of five primary schools and is entitled “Creative Problem Solving and Digital Education in 21st Century Teaching, Learning and Assessment”. It seeks to encourage creative problem-solving through abstract, environmental and physical mathematics, through the use of technology, mathematics in the environment and robotics. We hope this project will be a positive and worthwhile way to develop problem-solving skills and other skills associated with Mathematics for the children in all schools. We are delighted to have received funding for our Schools Excellence Project in Digital from the Department of Education and Skills.

Our project is linked to the School Self Evaluation process and aims to improve creative problem-solving skills through digital technologies in teaching and learning practices in our schools. This funding has allowed us to purchase digital technology equipment such as Beebots, Microbit circuit boards, Lego We Do, Izak9 Cubes, tablets and more, which pupils are already enjoying across all class levels.
