KineMathe  – The kinesthetic approach to teaching maths to pre-school learners – teaching maths the playful and efficient way

Project Reference: 2025-1-PL01-KA220-SCH-000355461

Implementation period: November 2025 – March 2028

Coordinator: Klett Polska

The KineMathe project was developed in accordance with the European Commission’s guidelines to promote kinesthetic approach to mathematics teaching among preschool children. This enables them to learn mathematics in an engaging and effective way. The project’s starting point is a comprehensive analysis of the specific learning conditions, outcomes, and educational goals related to mathematics in early childhood education and care (ECEC) in the three partner countries. The project’s goal is to develop methodological and teaching materials as well as a dedicated online platform by means of which they will be made available as open educational resources (OER). Preschool teachers will acquire skills and competencies in using the methodological and teaching materials resulting from the project. The project’s results will be piloted among preschool teachers and children and later a comprehensive dissemination campaign will follow.

The action is being implemented in Bulgaria, Poland and Slovenia.

The KineMathe project aims to:

• facilitate the development of high-quality early childhood education and care (ECEC) programs,
• promote mathematics as a fascinating field of activity and improve mathematical skills in children from an early age on,
• improve the professional qualifications of preschool teachers in terms of knowledge and methodological competences related to mathematical skills development,
• develop in children positive attitudes towards learning mathematics and improve their mathematical competences,
• prevent educational deficits and early school leaving,
• collaborate with partners from Poland, Bulgaria, and Slovenia on:

• developing a methodological guide for preschool teachers on teaching mathematics using a kinesthetic approach,
• preparing a set of creative kinesthetic games and mathematical activities as well as a mat for children to perform kinesthetic exercises,
• developing a set of evaluation activities with gamification elements,
• testing and disseminating a set of kinesthetic teaching aids for teachers and children in preschools,
• building a multilingual, publicly available open educational resources (OER) platform which will serve as an online digital repository dedicated to preschool teachers interested in mathematics,
• training preschool teachers,

• fostering cross-curricular collaboration, innovative teaching methods, continuous professional development, and providing access to open educational resources (OER).
