Description

 

The course is structured to guide you through a logical progression of concepts, beginning with foundational topics and gradually advancing to more complex ideas. Each module builds upon the last, ensuring a cohesive learning journey. The final module focuses on integrating various mathematical disciplines through the planning and execution of eTwinning projects, providing you with hands-on experience in designing impactful, interdisciplinary initiatives.

 

By the end of the course, you will not only gain fresh inspiration for teaching approaches but also develop a broader perspective on the real-world applications of mathematics, preparing your students for future success in a rapidly evolving, globalised world.

Learning objectives

In this course, you will:

 

  • Explore innovative teaching methods for Maths by experimenting with digital tools and exchanging ideas on pedagogical approaches and collaborative methodologies.
  • Reflect on ideas for activities that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making in students by stimulating your own critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
  • Develop international connections by engaging in networking activities that facilitate the sharing of experiences and the collaborative development of eTwinning projects.
  • Design an outline for an eTwinning project that integrates knowledge from basic arithmetic, geometry, statistics, or financial literacy to address a real-world problem, demonstrating collaborative and interdisciplinary skills.

Methodology & assessment

This self-paced course is adapted from a version that ran from Monday, 27 January 2025, to Wednesday, 12 February 2025. Designed for flexibility, it lets you explore content and complete activities at your own pace—no deadlines, live sessions, or required meetings. While the original course included scheduled discussions and peer reviews, this version allows independent learning with the same materials and guidance. Forum discussions and Padlet contributions will not be moderated, fostering a fully self-directed experience. To support reflection, you'll be encouraged to assess your own work using the provided criteria.

Certification details

Upon successful completion of the course, a digital course certificate is awarded. The certificate shows the name of the learner and key course details such as the estimated learning hours, the learning objectives, and a link to the course homepage.
