Mathematics, besides having a significant history, is one of the oldest sciences in the history. From past to present, lots of developments have been occured, and this science has become an inseperable part of our daily lives. Mathematics, having this importance troughout history, is infamous for the concern and fear to which is felt by students in not only Turkey, but worldwide. Mathematics is considered to be a hard area for not only students to learn, but also instructorsto teach. (Öcalan, 2004)The purpose of this paper was to analyze the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which is an internationally standardized assessment that was jointly developed by participating economies and administered to 15-year-olds in schools. PISA, which is administered by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), aims to find answers to the questions such as “whether students are well prepared for future challenges, whether they can analyze, reason and communicate effectively, and whether they have the capacity to continue learning throughout life”. In this paper, the performances of Turkish youngsters who took PISA exams were investigated. According to the results of this investigation, Turkish educational system was evaluated. The limited developments which are thanks to the positive individual participation of the partners can be observerd by checking the PISA results according to years. According to the academic research, the highly successful countries about mathematics are providing: firstly teacher raising programs (Simola, 2015), making the use of technology and information effective and studies of extensification of them and by means of regulations to make students feel at home, providing equal education opportunities. (Kivirauma & Ruoho, 2007) So as to give the countries the chance of making the necessary regulations of their educational programs, making up the deficiences, and seeing their success internationally; our project is to be conducted. Main purpose of the project is about success of students in mathematics.In our project, we have 3 national and 4 transnational partners. The national partners are Hacettepe University Informatics Institution, Necmettin Erbakan University Mathematics Department and FEDA Education-Informatics Corporation. The transnational partners are IDEA Education from Czech Republic, BragaMOB from Portugal, Pangeaeducation from Poland and Istituto Comprensivo Castel Frentano from Italy. In our project, there will be 5 TMs and 5 LTT activities. All the activities implemented in the project will be predicated on cooperative study method. The methods and the activities they will be implemented within the context of project can be listed like learning by practising and experience, case method, role-playing, brainstorming, snowball method…etc. The main purpose of the project is, by means of alternative approaches, to improve the partners' current mathematics education. Another effect that is to be reached with dissemination events is, in accordance with the aim of the project, creating regional awareness.By means of creating a web site, educational softwares with different learning enviroments and interesting learning activities and enviroments with game-basis in it; an open access output will be provided for all of the participants and those concerned.Moreover, with the activity handbook for teachers, instructors will have alternative mathematics book to implement in class. This book will consist of six chapters, and will be prepared by an academic editorial. This book will be an efficient educational source due to having gathered educational experiences of the participants, as well.
