Se trata de un proyecto innovador que tiene por objeto exponer a los alumnos de Educación Infantil y Primaria a un gran número de situaciones matemáticas prácticas con el propósito de que alcancen una eficaz alfabetización numérica y unos sólidos pilares académicos que den como resultado una alta capacidad para enfrentarse con éxito a situaciones en las que intervengan números en su vida diaria y conseguir, como consecuencia, su aplicación para resolver problemas en la vida real.
Para lo cual, hemos reorganizado la distribución de tiempos que se dedicaban a la explicación de los contenidos de la lección, a la realización de los ejercicios relacionados y a la corrección de deberes, maximizándolos para conseguir una distribución más atractiva, dinámica y efectiva de la clase de matemáticas, encaminados a una mayor práctica, motivación e impacto en el alumnado.
Este proyecto ya ha sido implantado con éxito en varios colegios de la localidad de Tyler-Texas en Estados Unidos e igualmente en colegios bilingües de la Comunidad de Madrid.
The program is aimed at Kindergarten, first, and second grade teachers, with a special focus on bilingual teaching, supported by investigation, research and implementation in different classrooms in Texas (U.S.A) and Madrid (Spain).
“Math Centers Made Easy: Hands On, Worksheets Off” is an innovative program which aims to expose the K-2 students to a wide variety of practical, day to day mathematical situations so they can acquire a proper numeracy as well as a robust academic foundation. As a result of this, the students are able to achieve mathematical proficiency and successfully overcome real life situations demanding numeracy, and problem solving skills. The program is hands-on based, resulting in a maximized impact on the students’ motivation and attitude towards the subject.
In order to create a comprehensive program, the curriculum standards regarding mathematics have been submitted to a thorough analysis, allowing us to create a very specific set of math resources. The program is offered both in English and Spanish, and addresses the needs of students and teachers alike facilitating successful implementation of the method in the classroom.
