About Project

Erasmus+ Project – Playing with maths

The Project aims to find new and innovative approaches for maths teaching for primary and middle school students whom at this age are curious, exploratory, interrogative and have a rich imagination.
Playing with Maths is an Erasmus Plus project which brings together 6 partners (Croatia, France 1, France 2, Greece, Portugal, Turkey)
We hope, through eTwinning, to share activities, ideas and games in order to learn from each other.
