About the project

1. Introduction

In our maths lessons, we will be offering a range of activities linked to all aspects of sport (physical, cultural, artistic, civic and heritage), the Olympic Games and values, based on dynamic and lively content. This is an opportunity to work collectively, collaboratively and playfully, to enrich the teaching of mathematics, to add meaning and to celebrate the Olympic and Paralympic spirit.

2. Aims

  • To enrich math lessons with different activities about the Olympic and paralympic games
  • To motivate our students by emphazing how mathematics are used in sport fields such as : physical, cultural, artistic, civic and heritage.
  • To develop students’21st century skills
  • To build an European culture and sense of belonging with the symbols of the Olympic and paralympic Games 
  • To use technology in teaching math lessons.
  • To learn the importance of lifelong learning and the beauty of research
  • To promote cooperation, tolerance and communication among students through talking about ideas and feelings

 

3. Work process

The project will start in September and end in June.

With the partners:

  • Share a collaborative doc with the goals, expectations, ideas  from each other..
