(https://www.geogebra.org/u/mathartreallife). The
students also shared ideas about the project work
in the paddles of the "Students2students" sub-
page. Pi Day was also celebrated. The Italian
colleague proposed a special page dedicated to
Stephan Hawkins, who died that year on March 14
(Einstein's Day Pi/Einstein's Birthday), where
students/teachers created different types of spirals.
A special pad was created for the impressions /
proposals of plastic education teachers in partner
schools; also parents, visiting professors /
executives have written about the project in a
padlet dedicated to them.
Effective results - useful for students as well as for
school in general are collections of problems,
graphics, drawings from the public space
"MathArtrealLife", e-books published on the issue,
worksheets, games proposed, etc.
It is a rich project with a great variety of materials -
useful for students of grades 5-9 ..., as well as for
teachers. The pages of the project are public;
materials can be used or can be sources of
inspiration for creating new resources. “Jean
Monnet” High School students have selected the
best materials in a CD awarded at the national
stage of the Made4Europe competition:
In this project, the students worked with much
interest in the GeoGebra program: 6th graders
continued to discover new options in use, and those
in the 9th grade first came into contact with this
program, but they managed to achieve graphics /
drawings / animations difficult for their age. They
also learned to use eTwinning space.
Students and teachers used Microsoft Office Word /
Google Doc to edit application problems or insert
graphics, Geogebra drawings, and create
worksheets saved as .pdf; have used Google Slide /
SlideShare for collaborative presentations, Microsoft
Picture Manager to edit pictures. In Padlet, they
presented or shared impressions about their
activities and the project. For collaborative
publications I used Issuu.
The conclusions and the results of the project are
analyzed in the Evaluation&Assessment discussion -
page. Participating in this project had the following
effects: developing student creativity and
imagination, developing scientific, collaborative and
communication skills in English using IT. Of course,
it has greatly increased their motivation for
learning.
