Math4U Supports Teachers and Students

Angielski

The Math4U Supports Teachers and Students project aims to increase secondary school students' mathematical competencies, improve their language skills, and provide teachers with materials and tools to raise students' interest in learning, activate students' thinking, and enliven tuition. Therefore, we have chosen to prioritize supporting the development of key (mathematical) competencies by preparing new learning and teaching methods and approaches.

Following this priority, the project aims:

  • Improve mathematical competencies - We will expand a portal where students and teachers will find materials to practice whole secondary school mathematics. The intended outputs are:
    • 600 new interactive Training Games to enable comprehensive math practice attractively, to activate students' interest and enjoyment in mathematics.
    • Expansion of the real-world problems and provide methodological sheets to help teachers better integrate them into lessons. The sheets show how to work with the example, what questions to ask, and where to find supplementary materials.
  • Improve language competencies and support CLIL in mathematics - The whole portal and applications will be prepared in five languages. They will be usable in bilingual schools, border regions, and schools serving international students, migrants, and minorities who speak these languages.
  • Teacher support - We will prepare teacher guides and user manuals to help mathematics teachers in their work. We will also extend the Math4Teacher app's functionality to deepen collaboration by enabling the sharing of tests and games created in the app.
  • Opportunity for anyone - free access to project outputs - All project outputs can be used by everyone independently of their social and economic status. Some students do not have access to high-quality education. Open sources can increase their knowledge and skills despite socio-economic barriers.

The project will contribute to a higher quality of education in Central European countries and Spain with European-wide applicability. We intend to increase students' interest in mathematics and other STEM subjects by fostering motivation (real-world problems, cross-curricular links). Furthermore, multilingualism, one of the EU's core objectives, will help students study abroad and increase their job-market prospects.

Two universities and three secondary schools are involved in the project. One is a bilingual school (Czech-Spanish), and one is a grammar school with extended English teaching (Slovak-English). All three secondary schools have been included in the project based on long-term cooperation and excellent experience from the previous project. The new partner (the University of Granada) will bring experience teaching application examples to the project. Moreover, the staff involved in the project have extensive experience lecturing future mathematics teachers. The project involves two Central European countries (with similar education systems, where English is the most important foreign language and Spanish is the second most important language) and Spain.

The project builds on the successful Math Exercises for You 1, 2, and 3 projects, supported by the Erasmus+ program (2016-2025). These projects resulted in the five-language portal math4u.vsb.cz, which has over 210,000 users; more than 1,000 math teachers have created accounts, and the project has won several awards (LABEL 2020, eLearning 2021).
