TIEE Mathematics teachers program 2023-24
Objectives of the program:
- Discussing appropriate pedagogical processes by integrating with UDL principles to help children achieving the class level learning outcomes
- Identify appropriate learning resources suitable to the nature of content and teaching-learning strategies
- Explore various e-content, tools, software for teaching, learning and assessment for the subject.
- Design and implement a teaching-learning plan based on ICT-Content-Pedagogy integration topic wise for class 6 and class 7 syllabus.
- Integrate assessment with pedagogical processes to continuously ensure the progress in learning by all children
- Develop context-based exemplars in the relevant subject areas for the purpose of assessment.

Nature of Mathematics:
- Own languages. e.g. Mathematical concepts terms, symbols, formulae and principles
- Its knowledge remains the same in the whole universe everywhere and every time.
- It is an exact science. Its knowledge is always clear, logical and systematic and that may be understood easily (ಗಣಿತವು ನಿಖರವಾದ ವಿಜ್ಞಾನವಾಗಿದೆ. 2 + 3 = 5).
- It involves inductive and deductive reasoning and can generalize any proposition universally.
- It involves the conversion of abstract concepts into the concrete form. Its knowledge is applied in the study of science and its different branches.
Vision for School Mathematics (NCF-2005)
- Children learn to enjoy mathematics rather than fear it.
- Children learn important mathematics — Mathematics is more than formula and mechanical procedures.
- Children see mathematics as something to talk about, to communicate through, to discuss among themselves, to work together on.
- Children pose and solve meaningful problems.
- Children use abstractions to perceive relation-ships, to see structures, to reason out things, to argue the truth or falsity of statements.
- Children understand the basic structure of Mathematics — Arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry, the basic content areas of school Mathematics, all offer a methodology for abstraction, structuration and generalisation.
- Teachers engage every child in class with the conviction that everyone can learn mathematics

Innovative teaching practices
1. Self composed poems for important concepts.
2. Mathematical stories to create interest in the Subject.
3. Use of innovative teaching aids in the classroom.
4. Self-framed worksheets from simple to complex to reteach the difficult concepts for slow learners.
5. Some interesting games and puzzles designed to motivate the students to love mathematics.
6. Some innovative techniques used in class-room teaching-learning process to remove math-phobia.
7. Hand-outs are provided to students to remove common misconceptions.
8. Innovative Remedial Measures are adopted according to the type of errors committed by the students in their Formative Assessments.
For example:
- For computational errors :- drill work is practised.
- For language comprehensive errors: - suitable questions with solutions are provided & explained in detail.
- For careless errors:- common misconcepts are listed out from the past experience, so that students recall them while solving questions.
- For incorrect formulae error: handouts with correct formulae & figures are provided and wherever possible explained through activities.
9. Suitable innovative and interesting activities are carried out in the classroom
10. Suitable and appropriate activities are carried out by the students under the guidance of the teacher. The activities end up with a number of questions so that the aim of the activity is clearly understood by each and every child in the class.
The students perform some of the activities in groups too, for example while playing mathematical games a lot of peer learning takes place.
11. Instead of giving the exact or accurate solution for the problems many times open-ended questions are preferred which ensures a wider scope for thinking and reasoning.
