In this work we present the research project “Liceo Matematico”, developed by a group of researchers at the Mathematics department of the University of Salerno, whose experimentation began in Campania in the school year 2015-2016. The first year only 3 classes of 3 high schools in Campania took part in the project, but nowadays, our experimentation involves about 800 students of 38 classes of 9 high schools in Campania, 1 high school in the capital of Molise and 1 high school in Basilicata. The last ones refer to the Mathematics Department of the relative Universities present in the specific territory. The project is based on additional courses to the traditional Math curriculum held by Researchers and Professors of the University, who plan, together with the teachers of the school, educational activities to present to students with innovative teaching methods. The educational action is based on interdisciplinarity and laboratory teaching. Through the interdisciplinary teaching, we try to promote communication and comparison of ideas. The purpose of the Mathematical High School is to offer students mathematical knowledge and skills, to consciously orient themselves in the different contexts of the contemporary world through learning located in a SCALE UP (Student-Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies) environment. Learners are deliberately not trained for the INVALSI tests but are stimulated to acquire knowledge heuristically, to engage in problem solving, and to reflect critically on narrative texts. Learners often work in groups, participate in mathematical competitions at a national level, in international forums, in the Olympics of Physics, Chemistry, Philosophy, and in the Latin competition Certamen. After three years of experimentation they are receiving several awards at national and international level. We will show the first returns of the INVALSI results, which seem to prove the effectiveness of the training action teaching model.

Abstract
In this work we present the research project “Liceo Matematico”, developed by a group of researchers at the Mathematics department of the University of Salerno, whose experimentation began in Campania in the school year 2015-2016. The first year only 3 classes of 3 high schools in Campania took part in the project, but nowadays, our experimentation involves about 800 students of 38 classes of 9 high schools in Campania, 1 high school in the capital of Molise and 1 high school in Basilicata. The last ones refer to the Mathematics Department of the relative Universities present in the specific territory. The project is based on additional courses to the traditional Math curriculum held by Researchers and Professors of the University, who plan, together with the teachers of the school, educational activities to present to students with innovative teaching methods. The educational action is based on interdisciplinarity and laboratory teaching. Through the interdisciplinary teaching, we try to promote communication and comparison of ideas. The purpose of the Mathematical High School is to offer students mathematical knowledge and skills, to consciously orient themselves in the different contexts of the contemporary world through learning located in a SCALE UP (Student-Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies) environment. Learners are deliberately not trained for the INVALSI tests but are stimulated to acquire knowledge heuristically, to engage in problem solving, and to reflect critically on narrative texts.
