As we currently work

26. We want to think, teach, work in
the 21st century.
We hope that after our project -
 Students will increase mathematical competence and the
linguistic and communicative competence in a foreign
language;
 It will not be difficult to use technical teaching aids;
 More can be done in
less time;
 It will be possible to
work with previously
impossible things.

27. If students say this then our
targets would be achieved:
 We can explain
 We are able not only to copy
 We are able to use not only textbooks
 We can define the problem and solve it
 We work in groups
 We are doing something original
 We can prove and show
what we have learned

28. «European Active Citizenship» develops

Group work, participation
in the competition as a
team, collaboration, goal
setting.
