The portal where schools and teachers can access and download the Mathspeak teaching materials is now live.

The Mathspeak project was included in Colegiul tehnic Ioan C. Stefanescu’s exhibition at “Educational Opportunities Week 2018-2019”. The Educational Opportunities event was held on 18 April at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Iasi, Romania.
The event provides background information, educational opportunities, analysis of opportunities, and career planning, so that young people’s aspirations can become reality.
More than 550 students and teachers attended the event, as well as the Iasi School Inspectorate.
