Project Description

Mathematics teachers often use science contexts in tasks, and science teachers often use mathematics, however they are usually working independently. Science context is often arbitrarily chosen, mathematics used with little regard towards learning. We will develop materials that are useful for both mathematics and science teachers that are designed to increase the competences in both subjects at the same time, allowing for interdisciplinary learning and for collaboration between mathematics and science teachers, ranging from common lesson planning to team teaching.

Workplan:

• collect ideas of national groups

• teaming up in 2-partner-transnational workgroups for further development

• getting feedback from teachers, teacher trainers and external experts to improve quality of materials

• finalise materials

• use materials in teacher training, in partner and team-up (non-partner) countries; make it available in printed form and online for teachers and teacher trainers.
