Impact

* We believe that the most important thing that young people understood and realized was that their learning problems were similar in all countries and that they were able to solve them.  Almost 95% of the surveyed participants answered that they gained the confidence to change their worldview, became interested in natural sciences or some branch of mathematics, and acquired international communication and teamwork competencies. Teachers were no exception here. Special needs and socially vulnerable students were included in the project activities also. 

  * The schools participating in the project had slightly different goals. The survey at the end of the activities showed that all schools achieved their goals: 92% of parents were satisfied with the variety of project technologies (all countries), 90% of the participants considered the project activities as inspiring for further studies (Portugal, Turkey, Slovakia), 100% of the participants learned something new in maths (all countries), but the grades of mathematics subject general education and Exams (Lithuania and Turkey) did not increase (data may be distorted due to distance learning during the pandemic), 100% of participants answered that their English language and communication skills improved. Many parents stated that their children have acquired time management skills. Teachers from all countries note a great change in the project participants: increased responsibility, tolerance for other cultures and discipline.

        ** We created an international co-educational network of 5 schools, developed new practices and methods, and shared new ideas.  During the pandemic teachers conducted cross-border open lessons using IT technologies, thereby raising the quality of school activities to a new level and creating conditions for new changes in school cooperation. We celebrated  Collaboration Pi Day, and Erasmus Day, had international lessons, and created 4 unique math teaching methods. 

        ***We have used cultural and intangible heritage as a catalyst for inclusion and academic development, stimulating their interest in learning and discovery. We have met new habits, traditions and customs of other countries which have helped us to encourage active and responsible citizenship among our students.  We created 

 more than 6 math games and 30 math tasks adapted for individual and teamwork of various abilities.  

       ****All participants acquired skills in the collaborative use of new technologies and the creation of joint products. They have integrated the subject of mathematics into other disciplines and IT technologies thus making a boring subject modern.  Students and teachers created 4 math computer games.

     ***** Communication language skills become more important for people of the older generation (teachers, school staff, parents). We could observe how English language skills increased during 3 years of communication, some people became fluent in English.
