The Maths Welcome Pack is a field research project involving a cardboard box filled with a collection of small objects and paper cuts with images and queries on mathematical themes. It has been conceived as a starter for the study of high school mathematics, but it also proved an effective strategy to boost students’ learning motivation and long term knowledge retention about the subject as a whole. The study examines the content of the box related to the responses given by a class group of 14-y.o. students through the lenses of Arzarello’s semiotic bundle and aims to evaluate how this activity helped students in the process of understanding and learning mathematics

Abstract
The Maths Welcome Pack is a field research project involving a cardboard box filled with a collection of small objects and paper cuts with images and queries on mathematical themes. It has been conceived as a starter for the study of high school mathematics, but it also proved an effective strategy to boost students’ learning motivation and long term knowledge retention about the subject as a whole. The study examines the content of the box related to the responses given by a class group of 14-y.o. students through the lenses of Arzarello’s semiotic bundle and aims to evaluate how this activity helped students in the process of understanding and learning mathematics
