Description: Students will make a portrait of a statistic teenager. They will look at each others and try to understand the similarities and the differences between them. In this project we draw students’ attention to the important role of Mathematics in the process of learning about the world and lots of its spheres in which teenagers exist. Mathematics enables students to “exercise their minds” and it is helpful to visualize many life issues and problems making them available for young people. In this project students will use the newest computer and telecommunicative technologies making contact with peers from other country (countries). Thanks to the emotional engagement pupils are given a strong motivation to learn English and they improve their language competences.
