Project Summary

The didactic objectives, obtained from the aforementioned module were:
• To make mathematics an effective tool for analyzing and interpreting reality.
• To achieve meaningful and conscious learning.
• To provide logical schemes and models that allow the application of knowledge and skills in one’s own socio-cultural context.
• Acquire strategies for the construction of knowledge and skills aimed at improving the learning of mathematical logic.
• Introducing different ways to “do mathematics.” software that combines the playful with the rigorous aspect of mathematics.
• Encouraging the participation of students in mathematics labs, games or mathematical Olympics.
• Reducing school failure.
The contents are:
Numbers … around us (natural numbers and their representation in base ten, decimal numbers, fractions, operations between numbers, positional writing of numbers …)
•Operations in play (interactive games with the four operations)
•Space and figures … in my city (maps, plans, orientation, representation of objects in the plane and in space, simplicity of space and plane, geometric entities, angles and amplitudes, perimeters and areas …). (data representations, diagrams of various types, evaluation of the probability of an event, estimates and approximations …).
The contents of the module led to the acquisition of the following skills and competences:
• Knowing how to learn to construct reasoning and to support one’s theses through laboratory activities and peer discussion.
• Starting from the student’s knowledge and knowing how to activate a consolidation process, deepening and widening of the same.
• To encourage and support the development of logical mathematical competence by arguing and conjecturing on problematic situations.
• Develop the ability to observe through the analysis of complete situations.
• Acquire the ability to detect analogies and structural homologies in different situations.
• Knowing how to relate everyday situations of reality with the mathematical world.
• Knowing how to solve problematic situations through problem solving.
The methodology used in the teaching activities were:
•Problem solving.
•Project work
• Cooperative learning. laying.
• Classroom debates.
• Interactive games with the Lim

Verification
For each didactic unit confronted, the learning and performance level of each individual participant is evaluated, through individual and group tests. The final results can be considered good, both for the learning ability of the single participants, and for the availability of the subjects to develop their own curiosity towards the mathematical world. Everyone worked individually and in the group for more learning of the subject.
