In-service training

Joustavaan Matematiikkaan (Towards flexible mathematics)

JoMa project is the largest online inservice training in mathematics education going on in Finland. JoMa online courses are built by experts from universities of Turku, Oulu, Jyväskylä and Åbo Academi and it is funded by Opetushallitus and they aim at increasing teachers knowledge about the development of flexible mathematical thinking skills from early education to high school. www.flexibility.fi

MAY

MAY (Math All around You) received Keyproject funding from Academy of Finland, and in it an online course “Pikkumatikka” prototype was created for inservice and preservice early educators by using scientific knowledge built in the DECIN project about how children’s early mathematical skills and their focusing on mathematical aspects can be supported.

MOE

The aim of MOE consortium project is to built an online-based mathematics learning ecosystem, which helps primary school teachers and schools to support primary school students’ mathematics learning, assessment and teaching. The project focuses particularly in rational number domain and flexible mathematical thinking skills at 3rd to 6th grades. Consortium partners are Department of Teacher Education/Research Group for Mathematics Teaching and Learning and ViLLE team /University of Turku, University of Turku /Kristian Kiili’s group, and Varga–Neményi Group.
