Workshop: “Interdisciplinary approach to the development of mathematical literacy and computational thinking”

On November 24, 2025, a workshop “Interdisciplinary approach to the development of mathematical literacy and computational thinking” was held, during which we presented some of the games and scenarios developed within the InAmath and SciMaG projects.

The detailed programme of the workshop can be found on the link.

SciMaG project presentation

On Friday, November 21, 2025, the 21st international scientific and professional conference Lifelong Learning as the Foundation of a Sustainable Society was held at the UP PEF. The conference was also accompanied by a presentation of the projects in which the faculty participates. The SciMaG project and the games that were developed and tested within the project were presented to the participants. Interest in the project and the games was very high.

Workshop “Interdisciplinarni pristup razvoju matematičke pismenosti i računalnog razmišljanja”

Faculty of Mathematics, University of Rijeka organizes a one day workshop Interdisciplinarni pristup razvoju matematičke pismenosti i računalnog razmišljanja.

Participation in the workshop is free of charge, but registration is required at inovak@math.uniri.hr, no later than November 20, 2025.

Detailed programme of the Workshop can be found at the link.

The analysis of the research results

The analysis of the research results carried out in the InAMath project was published in a scientific article published in a renowned journal SAGE Open.

Development of computational thinking through interdisciplinary activities in mathematics education

Conference paper and conference presentation “Development of computational thinking through interdisciplinary activities in mathematics education” by Bojan Crnković, Vedrana Mikulić Crnković and Ivona Traunkar were presented on 9th International Scientific Colloquium Mathematics and Children, Osijek, Croatia (May 19th – May 20th, 2023).

International Day of Mathematics and Pi day





International Day of Mathematics (IDM) is celebrated around the world every year on March 14th. March 14th was chosen as the date for IDM because it was already celebrated in many countries as Π day. The International Day of Mathematics project was initiated by the International mathematical union with support from numerous international and regional organizations from all over the world. 14.3. was declared the International Day of Mathematics at the 40th UNESCO general session on November 26, 2019, and was first celebrated on March 14th, 2020.

All countries are invited to participate in activities for students and the general public in schools, through activities in museums, libraries, etc. Each year a theme is determined (which has nothing to do with the number Π) and promotional materials are designed, as well as ideas for activities. “Mathematics for everyone” is a topic for the year 2023.
In addition to the common topic, all participants are invited to participate in one challenge, which changes from year to year. All information and materials are available on the website https://www.idm314.org/.

Through the website, institutions have the option to register their own activities and thus appear on the map of all institutions that joined the International Day of Mathematics.

We suggest some of the activities that can be held in classrooms in the article “Međunarodni dan matematiku u Pi ritmu”, published in the journal MIŠ: Matematika i Škola.
