The educational materials prepared by the students of the Department of Primary Mathematics Teaching and Classroom Teaching of Near East University Atatürk Faculty of Education within the scope of “mathematics and science teaching” courses were gifted to Necati Taşkın Primary School in Nicosia.

The aim was to increase the efficiency in classes with the “Little Geniuses Poster Project”, which aims to help students learn mathematics and science subjects in a creative and fun way. Prospective teachers, who gifted their projects to Necati Taşkın Primary School in Nicosia after being exhibited at their schools, said that they were very happy that the posters they prepared within the scope of the course would be used as teaching materials by primary school students. Necati Taşkın Primary School Principal Feray Konti emphasized that such materials play a critical role in student success and thanked Near East University for this meaningful contribution.
