  2. Motivation • MotivationtostudyScience (especiallyMaths) of secondaryschoolstudentsisnotverystrong. • It’snecessarytotackle local actions in thestudents’ environment. • Theseactionsmust be complementaryto general policies. • WewanttopromoteMathsamongstudents. • Strengthenrelationshipswithsecondaryschools and theirMathsteachers.

  3. Presentation Online free journal. It’snot a customaryjournal. It’s a virtual place whereteachers and studentswriteabouttheirexperiences. Maincharacteristics: Short articles. Easytoread. Real lifeapplications. Mathematicalcontest. 5 yearexperiencespreadingMaths. As far as weknow, there are no similar projects in our country. boletinmatematico.ual.es
