Mathematics and Life 39 Becoming better teacher 2

 Becoming better teacher 2

Goal setting 


While the Vision statement decides where you have to go and the Mission statement helps you to know how to go, Goal setting helps us in measuring how we are actually going ?


If we see a parallel in daily life 

Vision - Where the journey ends. Say going Indore to Mumbai

Mission - How would we travel ? By bike, car, train, flight

Goals - Milestones you read on the way. Mumbai 342 Km etc


Let's get going, the video link will inspire you to work towards setting and achieving goals

Some of the goals I made as a maths teacher were -


  • Create new, unique worksheets - I have designed 350+ unique worksheets which I will be sharing from time to time and will also share the thought behind creating them. 

  • Entertain my students through games and quizzes. 

  • Talk to the not so good doing student and study her notebooks, go deeper on some learning issues. I was running remedial classes in Progressive Education School Indore

  • Read some articles on research methodology

  • Try hands on Canva, Pinart, paint, Google drawing to create posters

  • Design a maths summer camp

  • List the to do works and do them. Plan your work and work your plan

  • Design my day schedule by reducing the unplanned time to the minimum

  • Organise my desk

  • Organise my mail box, Google drive. One day I set whole day just to note down, put in folders various videos, audios, reports, lists I had just uploaded at different times.

  • Writing, posting, this blog daily at 8 am 


You also start setting goals, writing goals, even if they remain under achieved or unachieved. Forming good habits is the most important thing. For example, if you wish to develop writing skills. It will help you a lot if you read this blog everyday and rewrite it in your own words. Someday you will add new angles, more details and lo you are a writer.


I made my first blog in 2012, now I am posting everyday after starting, trying, leaving, retrying, leaving again….but did not leave the Goal

      Point is not fully clear to me, but setting up change can also be a goal

In the last post we saw how parental influence becomes counterproductive and even limits a child's ability to perform. Now we will see what parents can do to boost a child's morale. Besides not doing unequal comparisons, expecting too much from the child, making public insults, the positive things parents can do are Give quality time to the child Encourage developing a study routine,, schedule in general Informally explain where education can take the child Accompany the child of school meetings  Besides these broad tips, using lot of love and common sense, parents can help the kid enjoy her studying maths.

Mathematics and Life 95 Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education

  Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education Background Intelligence has been the factor on which the human race takes the highest pride and feels that it has Intelligence of the highest level. It is so because only human beings have all the five senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch fully developed. Moreover, only human being have the unique ability to express ideas, feelings in their own written or spoken words. In the beginning of the 20th century a lot of research was done on human intelligence. Their types, levels, measurements, enhancement. In the early 1980s, Dr. Howard Gardener gave his theory of multiple Intelligences.  Quoting successful cases of great musicians, players, business tycoons, religious leaders who never went school, he proposed that just relying on academic Intelligence is not the way to define Intelligence and gave eight traits of distinctly different types of intelligences. They are Linguistic Intelligence - what we measure in formal e...

Mathematics and Life 45 Experiential Learning

The role of experience In the behaviour school of psychology, who treat, observe, measure only the behavioural aspects, modification in behaviour is considered learning. For example, if you are training your dog to get the ball back, it does it, it has learnt what it means to get the ball back. Closer to us, if the teacher has just taught the concept of odd and even and now asks her 10 students to arrange themselves in odd number of rows and they make five rows with two students in each,they can be seen to have learnt the concept of odd and even. With more practice, it can be further consolidated. The mega companies like Jio, Amazon, Google, Facebook and others too have what is called experiential marketing as their backbone. Using, AI and applying big data, machine learning, techniques they study you and provide experiences you have been preferring to choose.  In this video, the high energy, very motivated friend of mine Dr. Sapna Agrawal takes us to the journey of providing exper...
