PC Based Math Project for High School Students<br />
Comenius Multilateral School Partnership<br />
Countries involved:<br />
CZ, PT, PL, NO, LT, IS, DE, FI, DK, AT, SK<br />
Thematic Field: Maths, Science and Technology<br />
Key words: ICT, Diversifying teaching, Teacher education, Problem solving<br />
Description:<br />
The main objective of this project was to improve the quality of mathematics<br />
education in secondary schools. This was achieved by targeted instructions with the<br />
help of modern software. 14 schools in 11 countries took part in the project.<br />
The students learned to work with new software and later they developed a project<br />
of applied mathematics. The students used their math and ICT knowledge to develop,<br />
calculate and document mathematical models. The project used e-learning<br />
software, such as M@th Desktop (MD) on the basis of Mathematical which is a<br />
Computer Algebra System. MD supports various teaching styles through its flexible<br />
handling. The math project was planned and carried out together with the partner<br />
countries.<br />
The teachers got a sound training for teaching math with the help of modern<br />
educational software and they came to understand the benefits of the "Blended<br />
Learning" concept. The outcome was the presentation of the different math projects<br />
by the students and a web page, from which all math projects documents are<br />
downloadable.<br />
