I really like the experience of the Italian colleague. It is important to get your students´ interest right at the beginning, in the first grade. Use of this "game" will certainly released a tense atmosphere in the classroom where are students who do not like Math and had never achieved good results. Students will find out that it does not have to be difficult at all. Teaching in groups will help the weaker students to ask their colleagues what they would never ask the teacher. This experience will certainly help to motivate pupils. I always try to assign simple tasks to freshmen at the beginning of the school year, thus even the weakest students have the opportunity to get good mark; what they usually had not experienced at elementary school. I always try to ask the questions to which students know the answers. It is easy to prove that pupils do not know something, I want to avoid that. I want them to think and cooperate with me.

Skúsenosť kolegyne z Talianska sa mi veľmi páči. Je dôležité získať si žiakov hneď v prvom ročníku. Použitie tejto „hry“ určite uvoľní napätú atmosféru v triede, kde sú žiaci, ktorí nemajú radi matematiku a nikdy nedosiahli dobré výsledky. Žiaci prídu na to, že to nemusí byť vôbec ťažké. Skupinové vyučovanie pomôže slabším žiakom, aby sa pýtali ostatných spolužiakov to, čo by sa učiteľa nikdy nespýtali.
Táto skúsenosť určite pomôže motivovať žiakov.
Ja prvákom zadávam na začiatku školského roka jednoduché úlohy, aby aj tí najslabší mali možnosť dosť jednotku, ktorú na základnej škole z matematiky nikdy nedostali. Vždy hľadám otázky na ktoré žiaci vedia odpovedať. Dokázať žiakom, že niečo nevedia je jednoduché, to nechcem. Chcem, aby rozmýšľali a spolupracovali so mnou.

I find this approach very interesting for students. I even have done something similar in my practice.
1 1 1 = 1
2 2 2 = 2
3 3 3 = 3
4 4 4 = 4
5 5 5 = 5
6 6 6 = 6 and so on
Students must put the signs: + - : * (), square root too,so that they form the equations.

I believe that this experience is really interesting as well as relevant. It focuses on a difficulty that also my first year classes frequently encounter. I refer to the difficulty of interpreting the meaning of the brackets and recognizing the order of operations within a numeric expression.
The suggested game "four times four" is a simple but very effective tool to avoid this common error in mathematics. Furthermore the experience described shows that playful and competitive learning environments can motivate children to learn and to work hard in school.

Dissemination Seminar in Florence
31 October 2015 The seminar has been held in ITIS “A. Meucci” one of the schools involved within Goerudio project activities. Its main aim was to promote the results of the project toward a broad sample of stakeholders even overcrossing the number of people directly involved in the production of project outcomes. This purpose has been totally achieved especially thanks to the participation of students and teachers coming from different schools or from other classes instead of those ones directly involved within the project activities.
