Why math spaces
More than 22% of European students are low achievers in maths according to the PISA results (2012). One of the main causes is the lack of engagement of young people who have a very negative perception of mathematics.
Museums, centres and houses of mathematics were created all over Europe to promote a non-formal approach to mathematics, which has a proven effect on the mathematical skills of young people and their engagement with mathematics.
But spaces dedicated to this approach to maths are still few. This shortage is caused by unfamiliarity with the approach and the difficulty of finding appropriate resources and content.
