Descrizione del progetto/Describe the project :
Math is not one of the most preferable subjects in schools, however, those who are really passionate about it are able to do great things. This project is meant to change to meaning of math as a subject taught in schools and to make others to like it and why not to love it. Through this project we will motivate students to aknowledge that math is a part of their daily life and all of us are surrounded by its beauty. More than that, during this project we will explore different aspects and topics about mathematics that are integrated in the curriculum: Safer Internet Day, Celebrating Pi Day, Pi number using Animation activity, Facts and curiosities about Pi number, Comic stories with Pi number, Math in traditional recipes, STEM Discovery Campaign, Maths in Art and Art with Maths, Maths in nature, Symmetry, Maths in sports and dances.

Risultati ottenuti/Results:
The results of the project are amazing because many students were actively involved and achieved interesting things. For example, in the activity with Mathematics in recipes, each country involved in the project presented traditional recipes in which notions of mathematics intervened, then we formulated questions for students from other countries. In an online video conference, the students presented the solutions to the questions received. The activity was very appreciated by all participants.
Thus, the mathematics was easier for everyone to understand, so the project achieved its objectives.
