Portuguese Mathematics Society makes proposals

Observador13 September 2026 at 22:59

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.

Why this matters

Portuguese students may have a different mathematics evaluation system, with ModA tests counting towards their final grades. Teachers and schools will need to adapt to more coherent curricular programs and differentiated goals. These proposals arise in the context of debates about the quality of mathematics teaching in Portugal.

Study reveals that women are a minority in governments and reach power with greater technical requirements

A study reveals that women continue to be a minority in governments in Portugal, reaching power with greater technical requirements than men. The historical-political analysis shows that until 1985 there was an "almost total absence" of women in executives, with Leonor Beleza being the first woman appointed to the X Government, led by Cavaco Silva.
