Our Maths SMARTies

(Dec 2014/June 2015)

Target language:

Description:

Creation of scenarii using an IWB software
(14/15 years old)

Work's steps: 

Activity 1 : OUR PUPILS

● Each pupil creates a personal presentation, inserting his/her own picture, and illustrating it with cliparts or photos.

● Each country brings out all presentations in an ebook.

Activity 2 : OUR SCHOOL/OUR AREA

Pupils present their schools through photos, and they also mail real postcards to partners to make them discover our respective areas.

Activity 3 :  Interactive Maths Activities

Pupils are going to create some interactive Maths activities on a Smart IWB, using the SmartNoteBook software.

● Pupils work by groups of 3 or 4, and a name is given to each team.

Spain : 12 groups of 4 pupils

France : 5 groups of 3 pupils + 1 group of 4 pupils >>> 6 groups

● In agreement with the our respective maths curriculums, pupils are going to imagine some scenarios in order to create one interactive activity per group (topics related with numeracy) >>> 6 math activities to create in each country

Spain : 1 activity per group and selection of 6 items among 12 >>> 6 items

France : 1 activity per group >>> 6 items

Then each country builds one activity which topics are related with geometry (2D-shapes; 3D-shapes).

● Spanish teams will test French activities, and vice-versa.

We could make videos of pupils while they are testing the activities.

● We ask our pupils to publish their impressions on the project on a wall.

Bonus Activities

1) Christmas

Each pupil writes his Christmas wishes on a poster that is mailed to the partners before Christmas. We do a short video of our pupils telling their wishes all together.

2) Easter

Pupils create personalized Easter cards for their partners, and we mail them.

Expected results:

- to link Maths and ICT creating funny activities
- to improve our pupils'skills in Maths and English
- to develop pupils'creativity and critical faculty
- to use ICT for the creation of several documents and for the communication between pupils
