"The Project ""Numeracy is fun! Supporting numerical skill acquisition and competences in students with intellectual disabilities"" will be carried out by three schools: Guardian Angel Resource centre (Malta), IES San Sebastián de La Gomera (Spain) Zespol Szkol Specjalnych in Slupia near Kepno (Poland) for a period of 24 months.All three schools are special needs schools, where students with intellectual disabilities (mild, moderate or severe), who also have multiple disabilities (e.g. ASD (Autism Spectrum disorder), hearing impairment, vision impairment, and others) attend on a full time basis and they face numerous educational challenges and problems, which are mainly: - confusing addition with subtraction, and multiplication with division - it is an impaired ability to perform the right mathematical operations,- students are unable to associate the appropriate mathematical operations to real life situations (shopping, measuring, etc.);- the inability to understand the relationships which are needed to perform mental calculations;- students don’t understand relationships and significance between numbers;- students find it difficult to apply new knowledge based on mathematical appreciation, e.g. mathematical operations which have been learned in class to different life and challenging situations;- students find it very difficult to read and write.Students with various types of intellectual and physical disability and their teachers will be the participants of our project.Through the project activities, our students will develop their cognitive-social skills in difficult areas as described above, and also educators from our schools will develop their skills and tools. It will happen through the exchange of good practices, which will help our educators to be more effective in helping their students with learning difficulties; Furthermore our students will effectively gain the skills and competencies they need for their present and future lives.We aim to achieve these goals through activities implemented during the project: 20 employees and 30 students with their 30 carers will participate in a week-long visit to the partner schools (activities related to learning / teaching / training); students and educators will also take part in online meetings on eTwinning platform, where they will do certain project activities.An extensive project documentation will also be prepared, including curriculum and skills training based on learning by experience. This program will be open to use by educators from other special education institutions in the future. It will be made accessible by placing the materials in open educational resources, including the Erasmus+ Project Results Platform, eTwinning platform and in professional magazines / websites."
