ILOA conducts mathematics workshop
A mathematics workshop exclusive for teachers teaching mathematics to Classes 11 & 12 was organized by Indian Learners Own Academy, Kuwait in co-ordination with Goyal Overseas, on Nov 16. Lalit Sharma was the resource person.
Twenty-seven teachers of 12 Indian schools attended the workshop. Lalit Sharma started the first session with innovative ideas related to matrices and determinants in which he explained different methods to frame questions.
He emphasized on concept-based teaching with logical reasoning.
Students must be encouraged to ask questions even if it is not related to curriculum. This will increase the students’ creative ability.
Concept of ‘quotient matrix’ was explained which is approved by Mathematics Association of America and will be published very soon.
During second session common errors done by students were discussed. To rectify the errors, it was suggested that while teaching it should be explained how to avoid the errors.
Lab Activity Manuals for classes 11 & 12 (written by Lalit Sharma) were given to teachers.
At the end of session Certificates were distributed to the teachers by Lalit Sharma and photograph of teachers were taken with the Principal Mrs Asha Sharma and resource person, Lalit Sharma.
The workshop was a great success. All the mathematics teachers got innovative ideas about matrices and determinants which is beneficial for teaching learning process. We learnt how to encourage the students with different way of explanation. It was truly worth to attend the workshop.
