Abstract

The article is a study based on the MathE (Improve Math Skills in Higher Education) project coordinated by Pixel (Italy) in cooperation with technical universities and educational centres from Ireland, Lithuania, Portugal and Romania. The project is funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ Programme, KA2 - Strategic Partnerships for Higher Education. The project’s idea stems from  the fact that university students studying science and economics often lack the basic maths skills to effectively follow their lectures. The partnership has collaborated in this respect to find the most effective solutions and to prepare students for a world where mathematics is of central importance and extensively applied to diverse fields. The project aims to help teachers identify their students’ gaps and to provide mathematics teachers with the necessary teaching sources so that they can enhance their students’ motivation to learn mathematics. The article presents the project’s main objectives, activities and outputs. It gives insights into the project’s research and focuses on the effective approaches used by teachers of mathematics to meet their students’ diverse learning needs.

Keywords: mathematics, students,  research, collaboration, teaching methods;
