Objectives of the workshop

1. To get familiarised and encouraged to use a community of learning - for sharing, asking and learning
2. To strengthen, build capabilities in the use of digital tools and processes
3. To create resources using Geogebra for specific topics and concepts in Geogebra - theorems, graphs (linear equations), circles, basics of trigonometry
4. To understand development of lessons using Geogebra
5. To understand the use of Geogebra in problem solving

Day 1
9.30 – 10.00	Welcome and sharing expectations	Sharing expectations for this workshop Sharing and discussing the agenda of the workshop	Participant handout folder with agenda and workshop circular copy	Reinforcing the idea that the learning is a collective responsibility
10.00 – 12.30	Using Geogebra to make sketches for different lessons	Making the following sketches: 1. Points, lines, segments  (review from Workshop I) 2. Polygons 3. Circles  (review from Workshop I) 4. Constructions (2 kinds of triangle constructions) 5. Parallel lines 6. Circles (chord, arc, segment) 7. Use of sliders  (review from Workshop I) 8. Use of textbox (review from Workshop I)	Learn Geogebra Learning to make a drawing using Geogebra	Participants get comfortable in the use of Geogebra and use different tools to make sketches
12.30 – 1.15	Lunch	Lunch Contributing to a problem bank for resource creation (difficult problems/ theorems)	Teachers identify from their textbooks a difficult problem/ theorem	Identification of the possible difficult spots in geometry teaching (concepts/ theorems)
1.15 – 2.30	Technology for creating and learning	Using text editor (bilingual) for creating mathematics resources	Learn Libre Office	Participants are able to develop sample mathematics resources using LO
2.30 – 4.00	Developing a lesson using Geogebra and accessing resources from the web	1. Participants pick a Geogebra file from a pool 2.  Develop a transaction plan for the file (in pairs) 3.  Share the lessons in a plenary	Background note on developing lessons using Geogebra	Development of a lesson plan that can integrate Geogebra, hands on activities, other web based resources

Day 2
9.30 – 11.00	Geogebra for problem solving	Sharing reflections from the homework reading Exploring the use of Geogebra for illustrating/ solving a problem	Angles in a quadrilateral (English and Kannada)	Appreciating the importance of reading as a method of TPD Appreciating the role of technology to support TPD
11.00 – 12.30	Demonstration of exemplar resources	Sharing KOER pages on: Euclid’s axioms, postulates and theorem	KOER pages – online and offline	1. Particiants explore an exemplar resource to understand how lessons can be done using Geogebra and through combining other resources 2. Participants will have access to resources created before and during the workshop
12.30 – 1.15	Lunch	Draw of lots to determine community participation		Participants must take turns to share resources, experiences, ideas related to education
1.15 – 2.00	Conceptual learning with Geogebra	1. Using Geogebra to solve/ illustrate the questions from the contributed problem bank Identifying the key ideas/ conceptual difficulties/ misconceptions in the problem. 2. Using Geogebra to build an interactive lesson that builds conceptual thinking and problem solving skills in students	Learn Geogebra Learning to make a drawing using Geogebra	1. Particiants explore an exemplar resource to understand how lessons can be done using Geogebra 2. Participants will have access to resources created before and during the workshop
2.00 – 2.30	Inputs for the block program	What are the areas to include in the next workshop What kind of school interventions will be useful		Shared curriculum development
2.30 – 4.00	Practice with Geogebra	Individual work on recreating the Geogebra files/ lessons shared on Day 1	Learn Geogebra Learning to make a drawing using Geogebra
