Step 3 – Become a new Partner School

To become a partner school, you need to create 15 tasks and two trails for different grades near your school.

These should be published in our system and reviewed by the school’s math teachers.

They should also have been downloaded at least five times by learners.

If these conditions are met, an application to become a partner school can be sent to info@mathcitymap.eu.

This should contain the codes of the trails as well as a short report on the experience with MCM.
