I'm a primary school teacher at elemetary school don Lovre Katića in Solin, town settled near Split. Split and Solin are known for famous Diocletian palace and ancient city Salona. 

When in classroom, I'm enjoying myself immensely working with my pupils. I would like to take part in learning new methods and participating in various projects to improve myself as a teacher. 

What I would like to gain from this is  an improvement of students skills and competences as well as to boost their interests and knowledge through inovative learning methods.
My pupils are my inspration.

Here is a link of my school don Lovre Katića, Solin.]]> 2016-11-01 11:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134428371 atbilic https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134457552 1.1. Why is math unpopular?

I teach in a primary school and,  generally speaking, my pupils don't have trouble understanding maths in the beginning of their education. We learn thruough games starting from what they know and what they excperienced. But, as the grades are higher, they start to have difficulties in problems solving tasks because it requires abstract thinking. Maths isn't something they can learn without practicting and conecting what they learned in previous grade.

Personalising Learning
I work with children who are 6 - 10 years old so they really like all sorts of games. That's why I often use educational games in my lessons. They like animation and videos so I use it to get my pupils motivated. Working in small groups (up to 4 children per group) they can exchange ideas, they can brainstorm together, and they like that kind of class activites. Although they are working in groups the are perceptive of other working groups. They like sudoku, kakuru, tangram but what they like the most are math competitions in class. ]]> 2016-11-01 15:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134523249 atbilic https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134547003 1. 6.

This is a great video! As a PBL in my class I would go with sweets because we have school theme this year that involves healthy food. They will have to calculate how much ingredients they need to bake cookies for the whole class and throught that they will have to recalculate various units of measurement.]]> 2016-11-01 17:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134566830 atbilic https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134568870 2.2. Text-book type problems in the real-world
We have big school garden so we have opportunitiy to go outside of the clasroom. My children like that kind of activities. Outdoors they evaluate hight of different building and distance between them.]]> 2016-11-01 17:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134568870 atbilic https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134574823 2.3. Maths in everyday life
With the benefit od school garden pupils can draw ground plan of school building and the surrounding area, calculate different hight and distance from their overview stance.]]> 2016-11-01 17:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134574823 atbilic https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134583292 2.4. Maths and real-world jobs
In second grade the learn about different kind of professions so they learn which knowledge that kind of professions requires. We had sales menager, nurse, university math teacher, news reporter and a bus driver. They all have use of math in their job. I teach them to value all jobs and professions and to learn with enthusiasm, patience  and persistence. ]]> 2016-11-01 18:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134583292 atbilic https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/134770595 1.2.

My students love creating math stories. We usually start with a sentenceand some math problem which we later on expand by adding new characters, numbers and problems. Often, these math stories are full of humor.]]> 2016-11-11 08:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/136943970 atbilic https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/136944181 4.3 Teaching Maths as a Social Activity

To me collaborative learning is great method where children can exchange ideas, work together and help each other.
Children can satisfy their curiosity, learn in a different way, appreciate different way of thinking, develop creativity and work ethics and, above all, learn to work well with others to achieve same goal.]]> 2016-11-11 08:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/136944181 atbilic https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/138942404 4.4.

The children allready uses technology for all sorts of activities- be that for fun, for learning, for researching. It is our job to teach them how to become digitally literate.
Digital literacy refers to the ability to read and understand hypertext or multimedia texts, and includes understanding the pictures, sounds and text. 
Specific skills encompassed by the term include making judgments about online sources, Internet browsing, multimedia management structure, communication through Internet.]]> 2016-11-20 17:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/138944597 atbilic https://padlet.com/atbilic/wb2pldr20bv6/wish/138944702 5.2 Flipped Maths Classroom

I use sometimes PowToon but I am in agreement with Mihaela, Romania. The classrooms are not equipped with enough computers, and we have kids with different economical status so they , unfortunatelly, don't have computers at home.

I have never used QR Code in my classroom.
