Theatre in Mathematics ^2 (TiM^2)
Teaching mathematics using drama
An Erasmus+ project (KA220-SCH - Cooperation partnerships in school education)
DURATION: 1/9/2023-31/8/2026
OBJECTIVES : TIM^2 project's purpose is to overcome the obstacles in the way of teaching and learning mathematics at EU level. The main objective is to design a teaching methodology and evaluation tools to be used by teachers and educators. The methodological focus is on the enhancement of mathematical skills of the students of primary and lower secondary schools through the combination of drama based methodologies such as Social Community Theatre and Process Drama
ACTIVITIES: The main activity is the implementation of TIM^2 methodology, tools and exercises and the design of a set of evaluation tools allowing to evaluate to what extent the methodology is useful to favour the acquisition of maths skills and to increase students and teachers wellbeing. In Italy, Norway, Greece and Portugal the methodology is spread through training for trainers and training for teachers. In the four countries a theatrical conference about gender gap and maths learning is staged.
RESULTS: A methodology handbook with theory and activities and the evaluation system. An e-learning platform with a repository of materials and tools and a virtual space for teachers to confront and share lessons and good practices. The TIM^2 ontology: a digital tool to create customised sets of activities to empower specific mathematical skills. 5 scientific articles. Six national dissemination seminars. At least 600 teachers are trained, about 9000 students reached by TIM^2 activities
