not one less
I think school is like a train and that for some children it is the only
train.
It is therefore up to each teacher to make sure that no one misses this
train.
But it is not a question of getting everyone on by lowering the level of
the educational offer: it would be like making everyone travel
on a troop train.
Instead, we need to make everyone travel in first class, from first to last. Indeed, from
the last, true figure of our doing, to the first, with good opportunities for everyone: not
one less.
numeracy
It's a fact: the degree of
linguistic and mathematical literacy, literacy and numeracy, are closely related to
people's quality of life..
We have to start from here to say that giving the Best School also means creating the
best opportunities to build and cultivate mathematical literacy, as the ability to
mathematically interpret reality and to correctly approach the problems that life
arises.
But it is certainly not easy to build adequate linguistic and mathematical
competence in boys and girls. We know it well.
In particular, math is considered a difficult, cold, tough, boring subject; it
generates antipathy and even fear,, and also prejudice as many come to say:
"I have never had an aptitude for maths..."
But is it true? I don’t think so and dico I think that everyone, however, can
and must be brought to mathematics..
And you can do it with pleasant, interesting, engaging experiences too. Becoming an
effective and beautiful math for the child and also for the teacher.
which math?
It is a fundamental question: which
math?
What math do we want to propose? What is our way of doing math? Is it really effective?
How monotonous is "our" math and how much does it cultivate the pleasure of doing and
discovering?
And finally: can we bring everyone to math?
Here you can find tools for a really pleasant math to do, both for adults and children.
You will find ideas and tools that will allow you to propose activities that stimulate
and cultivate productive and non-reproductive thinking skills.
All this will allow you to empower and make teaching and learning more effective and to
reach everyone, not one less, with surprisingly beautiful math.
. Really.
to do
Those who work with children know that
teaching and learning means also hard work especially in emergency
situations
I think that this effort must be supported with effective tools that allow you
to build an extraordinary learning environment where
teaching and learning can become fun.
Here you will find many ideas for an experienced math: touched, walked, skipped,
explored, experimented, discovered, colored ...
Here you will find many bricks that you can combine with your creativity as you
want to create effective paths that will transform the effort into pleasure of
doing and the ordinary, into extraordinary.

The lockdown caused by the pandemic and distance learning have increased
differences and contributed to exacerbating educational emergencies. So much that we
talk about the difficulty, if not the impossibility for some, of recovering what is
"lost" and therefore of lost educational opportunities.
the best School
In other words: we have a periphery, the educational one, which is expanding and this
could affect early school leaving, which already presents alarming numbers in relation
to premature dropouts from the degree course. But if we understand it, early school
leaving, as a failure to fully unfold one's potential, then we understand the true depth
of the emergency.
And this emergency, now stronger than ever, must be addressed in a single way: trying to
give the best of oneself for the Best School, the one that knows how to reach everyone,
not one less, with the best chances of learning in an environment peaceful, stimulating,
even having fun. Easy? No, sure, but possible. That's all.
For some time now I have been carrying out a project that I wanted to call "not one less" as the title of the wonderful film by Zhang Yimou from 1999.
a long time ago, in my city, a painter drew on the asphalt with chalks; next to him a sign
said:
"I am a street artist who travels with his own means,
if you believe that my work deserves a coin,
this the allow me to continue the journey"
