Project Summary

Project Title
Mathematics in Everyday Life with ICT

Background
We are an inner city primary school in North London seeking to further enhance the high standards of teaching and learning that takes place. We have a large percentage of pupils from a low socio-economic background who are ethnically diverse.

Aim
Our schools’ priority and aim is to develop and enhance basic skills in maths and ICT teaching and learning in the curriculum through the innovative teaching and learning of Maths and ICT together with the exchange of knowledge and pedagogy which will support the idea of working in partnership with the group of schools. In undertaking this, we aim to meet the needs of our pupils in a modern technological society and equip them to be mathematically exposed and ready, life-long learners across borders in the 21st century.

Methodology
We hope to work in collaboration with our partner teachers in the partnership schools in order to improve staff competency in mathematical approaches and delivery , the use of ICT as a motivation and an innovation in the teaching and learning of maths and ICT across the curriculum. We envisage that teachers will meet, plan lessons together and share resources throughout the project. Pupils will undergo preparatory lessons, sharing their work at regular intervals and then work together on planned study visits to complete the outcomes of tasks. Together they will experience learning maths and ICT skills through sharing ideas during visits, working together on creating posters, models, creating videos / films, blogging, skyping, databases, The children will use the skills of collaboration, planning, drafting ,editing, analysis, etc, to create bi-lingual resources that can be used after activities or in the future. Through these activities they will apply their maths and ICT skills they have learned and use them for a real purpose.

Results & Impact
As the project evolves the work of staff and pupils will be evaluated through shared assessment systems in order to measure the progress being made and the impact on our individual schools and those taking part in the project.

We expect this innovation in maths and ICT teaching and learning, and the ability to have a transnational aspect to the project, will increase staff and pupil motivation. Pupils will improve their basic maths and ICT skills, critical thinking, listening, speaking, reading writing and Language skills, as well as Geographical knowledge and will gain confidence in presenting work to their peers in a different physical and cultural environment.

Global Dimension
The nature of the project lends itself well to promoting the global dimension of young citizens of the world. It will be a precursor to working across borders in adulthood and will prepare pupils for the skills needed in the world of work.
