Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2025 Newsletter several European countries, creating a collaborative learning environment where children could explore basic maths concepts such as numbers, shapes, and measurements through play and creativity.
One of the main methods used in the project was learning through play. From games involving numbers and geometric shapes to group activities that encouraged collaboration and simple problem-solving, all activities were designed to foster curiosity and logical thinking. Children learned to recognise and use numbers, sort shapes, count objects, and understand simple measurement concepts such as length and weight.
One of the most appreciated games was“ Let’ s Count Together!”, where children counted everyday objects individually and in teams. The aim was not only to develop counting skills but also to enhance teamwork and idea sharing.
Another popular activity involved sorting geometric shapes, where children identified and matched circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles. These simple yet effective activities supported the consolidation of essential mathematical concepts in an accessible and fun way.
An innovative element of the project was integrating Maths with other learning areas. For example, children created geometric puzzles and built shapes from recycled materials. These activities stimulated mathematical thinking, creativity, and fine motor skills simultaneously.
During international collaboration activities, children learned how mathematical concepts are approached in other cultures. They shared their discoveries and achievements using the eTwinning platform, communicating through simple messages and images. This exchange promoted cultural awareness and broadened their understanding of Mathematics beyond their own environment.
A significant outcome of this project was the successful demystification of Mathematics as a“ difficult” subject. Through playful and cooperative methods, we brought Mathematics closer to the hearts of children, making it both appealing and accessible. We observed that, following the project activities, preschoolers developed a deeper understanding of fundamental Maths concepts and greater confidence in their problem-solving skills.
At the end of the project, we organised an exhibition to showcase the children ' s work. They had the opportunity to present their projects and talk about what they had learned. This was a moment of pride and joy for both the children and the educators, who could witness the children’ s progress and enthusiasm.
Participation in the eTwinning project“ My PlayMath” was a rewarding experience for all involved. Teachers exchanged ideas and learned new teaching techniques, while children enjoyed an innovative educational journey that built their confidence and sparked curiosity for Mathematics.
