Objetivos y productos finales esperados
|
The main objective of MathEurope is to
develop alternative ways to raise the student's competencies in Mathematics.
Students will have to create, solve and evaluate mathematical problems
related with different aspects of the culture and history of the European
countries involved in the project.
The project also aims to establish a
foundation in which teachers and students alike are able to enhance their
digital and linguistic skills through mathematical problems. An integral
aspect of the project is to establish a framework in which collaborative
approaches to learning are essential. Through partnership with schools from
diverse regions of Europe, we hope to truly embrace the international
character of mathematics.
Objetivos:
To build
digital competency through the use of ICT.
To
develop analytic mathematical thinking through problem solving.
To apply
mathematical strategies to reach conclusions.
To build
linguistic ability while communicating with partners from different
countries.
To
develop students’ sense of entrepreneurship by creating mathematical problems
related with their own culture which require innovative thinking.
Productos:
CONCRETE RESULTS:
a. The activities done by means of eTwinning.
b. The creation of a website with the project
contents.
c. The creation of a library resource of
mathematical problems.
d. The creation of panels with relevant
information about the project.
e. Mathematical activities about different
European countries’ culture and history.
STRATEGIC RESULTS:
a. Implementation of team work methodologies
where each member takes over a role and accepts a responsibility.
b. Implementation of work by means of
projects, involving different pedagogic areas.
c. Raising awareness about the European
citizenship through the knowledge of the European countries’ culture and
history.
d.
Improvement of the Key competences.

Metodologías y procesos de trabajo
|
First of all, teachers involved in the
project will compare the syllabuses and holidays calendar to decide on the
common content to be used. Teams will agree on the tasks they will be in
charge of. Teachers can communicate in any way they wish using Skype, e-mail
or the TwinSpace.
They will plan some ice-breaking activities
that will include students’, teams’ and towns’ presentations, including
historical aspects of partners’ towns. These activities are intended to help
the pupils get acquaintance to the Twinspace tools. The presentations can be
done using Prezi, Powerpoint or Powtoon as well as videoconferences or any
other digital tools considered suitable for both the teachers and students
involved in the project.
The project will consist on working with
different mathematical problems related with the history and culture of
European countries. For every problem
at least three teams from different countries will be involved. One team will
create a problem, another one (at least) will have to solve it and the last
one will evaluate the quality of the problem as well as the results obtained
and the information about cultural and/or historical facts it offers. A
padlet will be created for every problem (it will show the problem, the different
ways to solve and the evaluation of the results).
The starting point to create a problem will
be a historical fact, a tradition or cultural event suggested either by
teachers or students. Then students
will decide the mathematical concepts that can be used to write the problem
(geometry, algebra, statistics, etc.).
Students will be rewarded with points for the
proposal and solution of problems, which will be used to create a
classification of teams.
During
the second year of the project the teams that solve problems will be formed
by students from different countries. Consequently, they will have to discuss
the alternative ways to solve it using Twinspace tools, Skype, e-mail etc.

Actividades principales y tipos de herramientas
previstas
|
- Ice-breaking activities in the Twinspace. Students’, teams’, towns’ and
countries’ presentations.
- Proposal and resolution of Mathematical
problems. A
padlet will be created for every problem and it will include the problem, at
least one way to solve it and an evaluation of its quality of the problem as
well as the results obtained and the information about cultural and/or
historical facts it offers.
Every
problem will be created by a national cooperative group of at least four
members. First of all they will have to decide the historical fact, a tradition
or cultural event they want to explain with the problem. In the case of the
team of the Catalan secondary school it could be “Castells”, the human towers
typical of Catalonia. The problem could describe two or three different “castells”
and make students calculate the weight that those who are on the base of the
tower have to support. After writing the problem, they will have to post it
in a padlet. Teams from different countries will have to try to solve the
problem within a month and they will have to post their answer in the same padlet.
Afterwards, another team, different from those who proposed and solved the
problem, will have to evaluate the historical and cultural information
provided by the problem and the Mathematical resolution of it.
- Library resource of Mathematical problems: At end of the project a library
resource of Mathematical problems will be created. All the teams will be
involved in this task.
During the project teachers and students can
communicate in any way they wish using Skype, e-mail or the TwinSpace.

Evaluación, seguimiento y difusión

EVALUACIÓN Y SEGUIMIENTO
Each team involved in the project will get
points for creating good problems, for being able to solve problems created
by other teams and also for evaluating the quality of the problems suggested as
well as the results obtained and the information about cultural and/or historical
facts it offers (teachers assessment).
They will also have to evaluate their own
results (self-assessment) and the results obtained by teams from other
countries (peer-assessment). To do self-assessment and peer-assessment
rubrics and checklists will be provided by teachers.
The points obtained in teachers assessment
and peer-assessment will be used to create a classification of teams.
ETtwinning
planned events will be used to monitor progress of the project.
DIFUSIÓN
Teachers will create a website to display key
project results that will include a link to padlets for every Mathematical problem
which was proposed.
A library resource of mathematical problems
and a web containing them will be created at the final part of the project.
Each team will create panels with some of the
problems proposed by them in the project that will be printed and exhibited
in their schools.
Finally, the schools involved in the project
will also give information of the project in the local mass media and in the
web pages of their school.

Para elaborar este proyecto he utilizado todo lo que he aprendido en el curso de eTwinning de INTEF y he procurado incluir todas la mejoras que me sugirieron dos de mis compañeras del curso.
En un futuro no muy lejano me gustaría intentar llevarlo a cabo, pero lo veo complicado ya que a pesar que actualmente trabajo en un centro muy interesado en proyectos de este tipo, mi plaza no es definitiva.
