Description

Children learn to enjoy mathematics rather than fear it.

Children learn important mathematics: Mathematics is more than formulas and mechanical procedures.

Children seen mathematics as something to talk about, to communicate, to discuss among themselves, to work together on.

Children pose and solve meaningful problems.

Children understand the basic structure of mathematics: Arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry, the basic content areas of school mathematics, all offer a methodology for abstraction, structuration and generalisation.

Teachers engage every child in class with the conviction that everyone can learn mathematics.
