E.I Learning maths through new communication factors (WS10), Gregoris Makrides and Rosemary Strevinioti | |
Abstract: In this workshop we will discuss the guidelines for the two methods developed by the Le MATH project, that is the MATHFactor and the MATHeatre methods. The guidelines are developed based on the collection and study of good practices in more than ten European countries. We will view online videos of actual implementation and discuss and analyse the video samples of performance by pupils aged 9-18. This will give a clear overview and hands‐on experience to the participants and will help them understand the two methods and how these could improve the learning of mathematics as well as the change of attitudes towards mathematics. Participants are expected to be teaching mathematics and science to pupils in the age group 9‐18. The method can be used by other disciplines, so participants could be from different fields. The Le-MATH project is funded by the European Commission through the programme LLP-Comenius MP (2012-2014). |

E.II Learn maths through code (WS11), Tullia Urschitz | |
Abstract: The aim of the workshop is to involve participants in an active learning environment that can be useful to stimulate first grade and pre-school children to develop maths and problem-solving skills through coding activities that don't require the use of computer. Using simple "coding" instructions, children (here the participants) will be introduced to several skills and STEM concepts like:
