Mathematics and Life 100 An overview of the 100 blog journey

 An overview of 100 blogs


 Background The 100 blog journey has been quite interesting. Quite broadly, the blog journey can be categorised into 


  1. Defining what is knowing maths 

  2. Major dimensions of education like the Guilford Model, Individual differences, Bloom's taxonomy…..were discussed

  3. How to be creative, what creativity is etc have been my Ph. D. research areas, so many blog posts have been posted.

  4. Creating math teachers…..it was realised by me that the existing number of teachers are not enough and that led to my conceptualising Individual Franchise Plan.

  5. You know maths….series has been started by me in which I am trying to make maths interesting for all. I am going to restart the series

  6. 300+ worksheets is another initiative in which I have decided to create unique, different, types of worksheets….this will allow also be continued

  7. Some unique terms In this long journey since the award of my Ph. D. in Education 1997, I have been working to redefine mathematics education. I can say that I have coined a few terms like MOCPA, Beyond Abacus term itself, Moghe Test of Creativity in mathematics and many more.

  8. GIM Guaranteed Improvement in Maths is another clinical program initiated by me in which I design learning experiences for the student to improve her maths level. 


Here are a few more screenshots as shared earlier…..

Mathematics and Life 2 About me - Early Childhood to formating years

  Overview  Past   36 years I have been a maths classroom teacher by choice.  Childhood and family Born in a Maharashtrian Bramhin family in 1960, with father being a medical doctor, childhood was very blissfully ignorant of the ground realities of the world. Being a government doctor with zero PR activities, I continue the trend, transfer or long posting in tribal areas was a norm. We spent 6 years in Bastar district in early 1970s. One of the most interesting things to recall is we three brothers often used to sit and talk a lot in Hindi. In the presence of parents, we three used to interchangeably toggle Hindi - Marathi. Hindi with brothers, Marathi with parents. In 8th standard, the elder brother school fee was a whopping 30 paise per month, my huge fee was 15 paise per month and the third had to pay nothing in the Government Multi purpose school Bastar. Moving to Indore To reduce the stressful impact of transfers on our studies, in 1976 myself and elder bro...

Mathematics and Life 4 Mathematics as just a computational tool

  The importance of definition  I would like to discuss how the policy makers', parent body, school administrators, investors', teachers' perception of what is it to be good at maths ? affects the students and ultimately the workforce, industry, economy in general. 1. Mathematics as a computational tool    This is the current, popular perception of knowing maths. Our classroom teachings, examination system, wide spread tutoring, coaching business all tend to develop, appreciate, the skill of reaching one unique answer as fast as possible. The Abacus or its various versions, as a training tool are classic examples of this. Students are expected to be too good at a skill in past 61 years of life I have not needed. I ask the readers, how often, if at all, you needed to find 5813 x 3876 infraction of a minute and that too accurately ? I bet never. But, just as a ritual, under peer pressure children go year after year to learn something which is first of all not needed at...
