Learning outcomes
At the end of the laboratory, students: - know how to apply what was covered in the integrated course within a simulated learning environment; - know how to reflect critically with peers on the proposed topics.
Course contents
The mathematical workshop is not just a physical space, but a learning environment where students discuss, plan, share, and jointly develop strategies to solve problems.
During the meetings, examples will be used to identify the elements that distinguish an exercise from a problem.
In the former, rules are applied; in the latter, knowledge is built.
The various non-standard problems aimed at both elementary and preschool students, along with the examination of student protocols, will help to focus on the concept of a "good problem", an issue addressed in numerous studies in mathematics education.
In this framework, it will be easy to think of errors as opportunities to reflect on.sor Pacetti's integrated laboratory.

Teaching methods
- Participated discussion
- Cooperative approaches
- Workshops
Assessment methods
At the end of the workshop, students will be required to produce a reflection paper following the instructions provided during the meetings.
The final grade will concur for the Foundations of Mathematics and Mathematics Education course exam, with a score of -1, 0, or +1.
Teaching tools
The online platform will be used in various phases of the work also for sharing support materials.
