The main assumption of the project is to educate young people in the practical use of mathematical knowledge in everyday life and to promote interest in exact sciences. Students will develop the ability to creatively solve problems on the local and international teams, improving and using in practice the knowledge of mathematics and learning entrepreneurship. The project provides a number of local and international activities in which students, teachers, parents and representatives of local institutions are involved. The project will test innovative teaching methods that stimulate self-directed solutions to problems (Inquiry-Based Method).

​

The effectiveness of teaching Maths at schools and student efficiency in partner countries is of diverse nature, yet we have the same problems with practical application of Maths. Students seldom realize that Maths is not a field that exists in isolation and they cannot apply knowledge gained at school in everyday situations, though they can solve complicated tasks in exam/test papers. Students can’t connect maths with e.g. art,
science or technology and that is why they have problems with practical skills like
decision-making or logical and critical thinking which they could use to solve
problems creatively. At the same time they are more and more demanding and
traditional methods used at school don’t appeal to their computer-hungry minds. 

​

The main objective of the project during its two-year span is to enhance students' practical maths knowledge to be applied in other fields of science and everyday situations. All project partners share the view that they need to introduce and test innovative methods, such as Inquiry-Based Method (triggering and activating students’ curiosity) and make use of strategy-based tasks, experiments and applications during lessons and via out-of-classroom events.
