7-day bridge events for the week of mathematics
Throughout the week, teachers in Lille, Strasbourg, Reims and Créteil academies mobilize and offer fun workshops, courses in mathematics-based bridge, doors open within the current school bridge, school tournaments or discovery sessions. Sometimes students invited their parents to come and try the sport of the mind.
Learn math in a fun way

More than 500 teachers have been trained in this new way of teaching and offer bridge exercises in math class. Michel Gouy, IA-IPR mathematics of the Academy of Lille and trainer, said he was “convinced that it is possible to do math with the bridge since this game provides a great way to learn math or be reconciled with them. “
