• Students• Teaching material• Cooperation and professional exchange

GOALS FOCUSING ON

ORGANISATION:• Voluntary education aimed towards gifted students

in grades 8 and 9.• Challenging education with a focus on problem solving.• Financed by Blekinge Tekniska Högskola and

Ehrensvärdska Gymnasiet in Karlskrona.

• Like-minded students - regarding maths and other things. • Variation of students – there’s no typical mathgeek.• How do we reach the right students? • Teaching with no limits! – Lärande utan tak!• Teacher role• Individual/Team-work.• Students from grade 8 carry continuity.

STUDENTSCHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES

• Focus on mathematical skills - not the curriculum.• We don’t adapt to everyone – but always start off easy.• Thematic work over longer periods of time

or a new theme every week.• The role of the home shool teachers. • To encourage teachers to use the material in

their home classrooms – and become co-learners.

TEACHING MATERIAL CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES

• How can we cooperate with scheduling?• How do we, more so than before,

get the teachers of the home schools to activelyparticipate in the project?

• How can we make principals realize the potential for pedagogical development that lies in this project –not only in maths, but in all subjects?
