Mathematical competence
"KeyCoMath" promotes pupils' active, exploratory learning in open and rich situations to deepen their ability of mathematical thinking and to support the development of mathematical understanding.
Communication in the mother tongue
"KeyCoMath" closely intertwines doing mathematics and communicating with others orally or in written form. Pupils are encouraged to talk about mathematics, to discuss ideas, to write down thoughts and reflections and to present results.
Digital competence
In "KeyCoMath" pupils work with learning environments that include digital media (e.g. spreadsheets, dynamic geometry, computer algebra). By working mathematically they develop a confident, critical and reflective attitude towards ICT.
Learning to learn
"KeyCoMath" emphasises pupils' self-regulated and autonomous learning. Thus, they develop abilities to manage their learning (both individually and in groups), to evaluate their work and to seek advice and support when appropriate.
Social competences
"KeyCoMath" fosters pupils' collaboration and communication. They cooperatively do mathematics, discuss ideas, present findings and have to understand different viewpoints to achieve common mathematical results.
Sense of initiative
"KeyCoMath" strengthens exploratory, inquiry-based learning in mathematics. Pupils are encouraged to be creative, proactive and to turn ideas into action. They develop abilities to plan, organise, and manage their work.
