29 October 2018 The MathE project

The MathE project has been funded, by the European Commission through the Portuguese National Agency for the Erasmus+ Programme, with the aim of enhancing the quality of teaching and improving pedagogies and assessment methods. The project is based on the assumption that students of scientific and economics subjects at higher education level often lack the basic math skills to effectively follow their lectures. The project aims at: Facilitating the identification of students’ gaps in Math; Providing Math teachers with appropriate digital sources; Enhancing transnational sharing of innovative teaching sources.
