Mathematics and Life 77 Mission 100,000 quality maths teachers 2

 Mission 100,000 quality maths teachers 2


Background The Mission 100,000 quality maths teachers has been broken into sub missions as detailed below



How to Contact and connect we have already seen. 


Now I will elaborate on how I plan to relate, associate and train large number of teachers.


Relate In my way of working, to relate means to feel comfortable, developing a bond stronger than the being just connected. We relate with people when we find some common thread to stitch a tie. It could a philosophical, cultural, religious, regional, social, linguistic, professional trait or thread we find worth exploring together. This is the stage to start to formalise long term association. Having a Shared Vision is the strongest way of people develop a bond, feeling of relationship. 


Professionally speaking, various social media groups, newsletter membership, membership sites, forums, associations, conferences, workshops strengthen the feeling of being related.


Associates are the team members who have been related for some time and now want to contribute to the growth and development of the Idea. Associates can co author articles, research papers, book. They can co host a workshop, launch a channel together. They can form allies which are non competitive and rather complimentary in skill sets. They can be Partners in Pvt. Ltd. Company, can form a truly diverse team spread over even the globe. In the startup eco system, it is not uncommon to see childhood or college time buddies associating to form formidable teams.


Train As envisaged by Alvin Toffler to learn, unlearn and relearn are the survival skills of the 3rd Wave or the IT Wave. The way technology is getting replaced, hierarchy is dying, boundaries are crumbling. Get trained is a routine rather than a task to be done one in a while.


The In-Service or presently teachers in school require training on changing perception of what is it to know maths ? To even new additions to the syllabus like the terms mathematical thinking, computational thinking, design thinking, coding, algorithm, mathematical modelling….art integration with maths. Developing and maintaining effective digital presence, orientation to relating maths curriculum to its applications in life.


The wanting to be teachers need orientation, exposure, training on even the mathematics content they would be teaching along with the appropriate methods of teaching that content. 


Soon Beyond Abacus will announce a set of training interventions to cater to different requirements of the two major set of training seekers. The In-Service and the Wanting to be teachers.


You are welcome to contact, connect, relate, associate, get trained or train teachers and teachers to be. Contact details are given below.

Mathematics and Life 23 Improving school mathematics 8

  Improving school mathematics 8 The role of parents 2 Mathematics is the science of recognising, understanding, appreciating, creating and using patterns in day to day life, business, sciences, work life, technology. 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. I also saw these videos which I guess will be very useful  9 tips to improve concentration https://youtu.be/LFIiW5BQP00 5 step formula  https://yout...

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...
