Supported by the Interreg programme, the project helps teachers introduce modern teaching approaches, digital tools, and application-oriented tasks into their classrooms, making mathematics more accessible and engaging for students. The focus is placed not only on educational content but also on teaching methodologies and didactic approaches.
Since the launch of the project, a series of in-person and online courses have been organized, focusing on the use of the Math4U platform and the accompanying Math4Teacher application. During these courses, participants worked with educational materials, digital tools, and practical tasks that they can subsequently incorporate into their own lessons.
"We are very pleased with the strong interest teachers have shown in our educational courses. Participants particularly appreciate the practical focus of the training sessions, real-life examples of classroom applications, and the opportunity to share experiences with colleagues from other schools. Mutual inspiration and the exchange of best practices are among the greatest benefits of the project," says Petra Vondráková from the Department of Applied Mathematics at FEECS, VSB – Technical University of Ostrava.
Support for teachers is provided not only through training courses but also through methodological materials. During the first phase of the project, five methodological guides were developed, offering practical instructions, recommendations, and specific tips on how to effectively use tests and games available on the Math4U portal in everyday teaching. These materials help teachers plan lessons, differentiate tasks according to students’ needs, and develop their applied mathematical skills through interactive activities.
The Teaching with Math4U project thus makes a long-term contribution to improving mathematical literacy and supports teachers in finding new ways to motivate students to take an interest in mathematics and technical disciplines. Educational courses within the project continue to be offered.
