In general, classic methods of teaching mathematics no longer correspond to the real needs of contemporary students. Students often go through lack of self-confidence and motivation. They are frequently too passive in class, and have trouble working as a team. Therefore, the main goal of „The international pupil math workshops” project is to find ways for improving the ability of all students, including children with low level of success, to develop their problem-solving skills and ability to use their mathematics skills in team work in level-mixed groups. We expect positive impact in a variety of ways, for students and for teachers.The project is about innovating learning methodology in different fields of math, developing pupils’ interest and competence in math, significantly improving their language skills in English and enhancing their social a civic life skill as well.The objectives of the project are:- Involve partners from different countries with important experience in the using specific methodology or the specific field of learning math.- Provide opportunity to exchange math knowledge as a one of the best way to practise the basic skills.- Involve students with different abilities to develop their competencies in different educational fields.- By actively participating in the project development, students will be motivated to achieve the expected results, thus enhancing their commitment and social skills towards a common goal.- Share experiences and knowledge in a teamwork of different countries as the mean of to overcome racial prejudices.- Learn to cooperate and join different ideas into one result.- Give all participants the equal opportunities to succeed regardless of individual degree of success in formal education.- Use new digital resources in math as the way to raise interest in learning about innovative mathematical research.- Inspire all participants’ tuition by the partners' ideas.To achieve the objectives, learners need to work in partnership with the learners from other schools in other countries, using their knowledge and expertise in the various aspects. There are three school involved in the project: Primary and elementary school Hornicka Hlucin (the Czech Republic), 6th Gymnasium Chanion (Crete) and Computer Highschool “Grigore Moisil” Iasi (Romania). During the 13 months project the students between 14-15 years old will be engaged in a variety of activities using both formal and informal teaching methods. The project include three short-term pupil exchanges when the participants will be able to compare the best practices in some fields of math (Geometry, Trigonometry, Solid geometry, Robotics) used in each country, to work together to define the final versions of the project results and to evaluate the activities quality. Before each mobility, the project team of teachers will select team of participants that will consist of 8 pupils and 2 accompanying persons participating in the project activities. Each school has appointed two teachers to lead the project in their schools and be responsible for managing their time allocation for planning. Primary and elementary school Hornicka Hlucin (CZ) as a coordinating school will be responsible for organizing the initial planning meeting, checking the time schedule for the project and monitoring the work of each partner school. Each of the partner school will be responsible for the organisation of the short-term exchange in their own country and after the exchange the host school will be responsible for reporting the success of the exchange and evaluating the learning outcomes.After whole project we are going to evaluate the satisfaction of participants and teachers and based on the results, we can assess if we have achieved goals and objectives of the project. All the products of the meetings and preparatory activities will be shared and presented in the schools on visible place to motivate all learners of the school to involve the similar project with international and cross-cultural cooperation. In order to disseminate the results of the project and all its activities, a website and a newsletter will be produced, and ongoing activities spread through the webpages of the schools and via the network of Erasmus + and eTwinning. The eTwinning platform will be also used as the tool for knowing each other and for preparation part of the meeting when the pupils will solve some math tasks mainly in the field of math according to upcoming short-term exchange.„The international pupil math workshops“ project is destined to innovate teaching and learning math based on best practice examples of the partners in the different partners schools and to implement the didactical concepts like to support basis of the math education in future. Thanks to the implementation project website and to the issue of the eBook, the project will maintain its effects even after its end confirming its sustainability during the time.
