NOVA FCT, through its Department of Mathematic (DM) and NOVA Math, is once again celebrating International Day of Mathematics. This event serves as a tribute to the indispensable role mathematics plays in driving progress across fields like Science, Technology, Engineering, and society at large.
As part of these festivities, NOVA FCT will be orchestrating three engaging initiatives. The first, already in progress, is a competition tailored for secondary school students and educators titled "Teaching and Learning Maths as a Game!". This competition encourages the creation of projects that make mathematics education enjoyable and engaging within school environments. (Information on Portuguese here)
