Peer Mentoring for primary teachers
On 17th October, 2015, a Math workshop was organised for the Primary faculty in order to equip them to provide experiential learning in the children and to enable them to embark on a path of enquiry-based learning.
The workshop was conducted by Ms. Garima Chandel who had earlier attended the Jodo Gyan Math workshop. The main focus of the workshop was on Mathematics through innovative methods which the children will understand and enjoy.

The one and a half hour workshop was composed with activities and discussions relating to the subject in a fun way.
Topics like the stages in development of numbers, place value, increasing and decreasing order, before and after, word sums etc were dealt with in an interesting manner supported by handson activities. Teachers were led through a series of exercises in groups of two and time was provided for discussions.
An appropriate use of teaching aids like maan cards, ganith mala, dice etc for explaining the concept was also explained.
