Project summary

This project is going to focus on results of PISA 2017 reports which means: it is a chance to compare situations causing differences in mathematics success. This project tries to find what the biggest reasons of these varieties in mathematics education are, what the sources of these big differences. During this project, collaborative activities, exhibitions and university visits, short films will be organized.The project will facilitate the active participation of students in each region, to give them the opportunity of using their skills, their free time and their energy to discover and promote. The main aim of the project is to increase the success percentage in following PISA assessments and quality of learning and teaching the mathematics as higher as possibly. During the project, the key competences will be developed for students, which are essential in a knowledge-based mathematics. OBJECTIVES: To exchange knowledge and experience on mathematics teaching and learning within the people of the partner countries To discover new ways of learning that is not the traditional methods, by creating a learning environment where students can gain knowledge and experience at the local and European level To offer opportunities for future career for project participants To give the opportunity to young people to take initiative, to be creative, to use multimedia tools To perform the acquired knowledge and to exchange its using new technologies and ICT To improve foreign language skills of the participants in a real context RESULTS: Project website and Facebook Page. Mini PISA assessments that will be organised on the internet each year. Mathematics games. Students will learn the mathematics and mental games played in other countries. Forum website for mathematics teachers from all over the Europe.They can exchange their experiences with this forum web site and find partner countries for their following Europe projects. Short movies prepared by participants. These movies are the souvenirs of this project. Promoting higher level of education in order to prevent Early School Leaving. Project E-book. This result will be the story of the project as a movie. PROJECT IMPACTS: The target groups of our project are students and teachers. Students will get an international viewpoint to the Maths so that they can be more interested in this lesson.Students will get an international viewpoint to the Maths so that they can be more interested in this lesson. They will find out how they can use the maths subjects in their daily life. They will gain self-confidence by using their imagination and creativity by attending activities in the the project. Teachers will be aware of and eveluate the different teaching methods and material used in other countries. This impact helps their vocational developments. The most desired impact of the project is to increase the success of participant countries in PISA assessments. It helps young people to develop the participation in and the understanding of mathematics learning methods from other countries which enrich their mathematics success in their school life in following years.

Final report summary

This project focused its activities taking into account the results of the 2017 PISA reports by comparing situations that cause differences in mathematics success. During the preparatory phases, effective activities were carried out to find the main reasons for these varieties in mathematics teaching, what are the sources of these great differences by sharing mathematics programs among the Partners. During the various Mobilities foreseen by this project, collaborative activities, exhibitions and university visits, short films were organized. The project facilitated the active participation of students in each partner Region even if carried out in virtual mode due to the Covid19 pandemic for which some Regions were only able to participate virtually. This gave the participating students the opportunity to use their skills, their free time and their energies to discover, disseminate and share with their peers. The main objective of the project was above all to develop key competences for students, which are essential in knowledge-based mathematics in order to increase the success rate in following the PISA assessments and make the quality of the learning and teaching of mathematics. ACCOMPLISHED RESULTS: 1. Exchange of knowledge and experience on the teaching and learning of mathematics between people from partner countries 2. Acquisition of new ways of learning where a learning environment is created in which students can transform the knowledge and experiences learned at local and European level into skills. 3. Training offer aimed at giving real future career opportunities to project participants 4. Incentive for young people to take the initiative, be creative, use multimedia tools 5. Use of new technologies and ICT to put into practice the acquired knowledge and exchange it 6. Improvement of the language skills of the participants in a real context SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF RESULTS: a) Website and Facebook page of the project. b) PISA mini assessments organized on the Internet every year. c) Math games and mind games played in other countries. d) Forum website for mathematics teachers from all over Europe where they can exchange their experiences and find partner countries for their next European projects. e) Short films prepared by the participants and memories of this project. f) Promotion of a higher education level in order to prevent early school leaving. g) Preparation of the project E-book which will be the story of the project as an eTwinning film IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT: The target groups of our project were students and teachers. The students were able to acquire their international point of view on mathematics showing more interest and curiosity towards these activities. They discovered how to use math subjects in their daily life. They gained self-confidence and used their imagination and creativity by participating in the various project activities whether they were in person or online. The teachers got to know and evaluate the different teaching methods and materials used for this purpose in other countries. This impact aided their professional development. The most coveted impact of the project was to increase the success of participating countries in PISA assessments and to help young people develop participation and understanding of other countries' mathematics learning methods, so that they can enrich their background. and their success in mathematics in their school life in subsequent years.
