▶Objectives
Our goal was to transform mathematics learning into a more engaging and accessible experience for all students, especially those who struggle. By combining movement with mathematics learning, we aimed to: -Improve the performance of all students, reducing inequalities and promoting the success of each individual. -Increase students' motivation and self-confidence, particularly those who experience difficulties in mathematics. -Develop essential 21st-century skills, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity, while promoting inclusion and equity. -Create a positive learning environment where all students feel valued and capable of succeeding.
▶Activities
As part of our project, we implemented five key management activities to ensure effective collaboration among all partners and guarantee the success of our objectives. -Project Coordination (A1): We established a clear framework from the outset, defining the roles and responsibilities of each partner. Regular monitoring of the project's progress was implemented. -Quality Management (A2): We implemented a rigorous evaluation process to ensure the quality of our deliverables. -Process Evaluation (A3): In parallel, we evaluated the effectiveness of our organization and our working methods. -Green Practices (A4): Concerned about minimizing our environmental impact, we implemented measures to reduce our carbon footprint. -Dissemination (A5): We implemented a communication strategy to disseminate the results of our project to a wide audience. Financial and Administrative Management: Each partner was responsible for managing their respective budget and providing the necessary financial and administrative documents.
▶Impact
The Math&Move Story project has developed a comprehensive set of educational resources to make learning mathematics more fun and effective. -A pedagogical guide serving as the basis for this approach, proposing a methodology to integrate movement and storytelling into learning. -A research booklet justifying the use of kinesthesia and storytelling. -A practical guide with concrete examples for using these methods and feedback. -Educational resources: 12 lessons with physical activities to understand mathematical concepts. 12 practical sheets to reinforce learning. 12 videos to illustrate movements. 12 e-books with stories to make math more attractive. These output are adapted to all students and are available on the project's website (https://mathandmove.eu) in several languages (English, French, Greek, and Serbian) - a total of 204! Communication elements: website, blog articles... -1 test of all resources in all countries -11 external contributors involved with a general report -5 multiplier events They aim to develop students' confidence in mathematics and promote active learning.
