Teen-immigrants explore a math mobile app
We present the pilot phase of the project "Teenagers Experience Empowerment by Numbers" (TEEN),
which is funded by Politecnico di Milano through the Polisocial Award 2018 and concerns the
development of a mobile app to teach essential mathematics to young immigrants. The project aims
at preparing them for living in a conscious, autonomous way in a Western country, increasing their
ability to deal with everyday tasks that require some mathematical understanding. We present the
app, some materials and an activity with the learners who have interacted with that. The set of tasks,
tested in small groups, is rooted in daily activities, such as shopping at the supermarket, choosing a
mobile internet plan, planning a trip. Our theoretical background is related to existing research
findings on teaching to immigrants, Rabardel’s instrumental orchestration and feedback.
