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.

My Journey as a Maths Teacher – Part 2

  🧒 From Grade 3 to Guiding Future Teachers It gives me immense pleasure to be of some help to my younger mathematics teaching colleagues like Shruti Goel, Laly, Preeti Garg, Misha Nambiar, Rajendra Paliwal , and many others—across subjects and across schools. But things weren’t always this way. 📘 The Indore Phase – Simplicity, Struggle, and Silent Growth After leaving Mumbai in 1988, I served as a school teacher at Choithram School, Indore , till 1992. I even taught Grades 3 to 5 in a single session . Yet, the spirit was always high. I loved taking classes, creating activity sheets, and even wrote articles I mailed to U.S. education journals —long before emails were common. If there was one shortcoming I admit, it was in checking large stacks of answer books. I often rationalised, “I’m a creative person, so it’s okay.” In hindsight, it wasn’t—but the honesty helped me grow. 🔄 The Decade of Churn (1988–1997) It was a whirlwind decade. Imagine this combination: Ph.D. ...
