The Portuguese Mathematics Society presented a set of proposals for mathematics education in Portugal. The main suggestion is the creation of more coherent curricular programs, which allow for better organization and sequence of the content taught to students.
Another proposal from SPM refers to the implementation of differentiated curricular goals. This approach recognizes that students have different learning levels and distinct needs, so learning objectives should be adapted according to these realities.
The Portuguese Mathematics Society also advocated for the transformation of ModA tests into assessments with weight in student grades. This change would mean that these evaluations would have direct impact on students' grades, altering how they are currently considered in the evaluation system.
The proposals aim to improve the quality of mathematics teaching in Portugal, proposing changes both in terms of curricular content and the evaluation methods used in Portuguese schools.
