Teachers Community of Learning Bangalore South Block 3 Maths Workshop 2 2018 19

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

Using Geogebra to build an interactive lesson that builds conceptual thinking and problem solving skills in students	1.Use of Geogebra for using high school mathematics 2. Background note on developing lessons using Geogebra 3. KOER page on Euclids Axioms, Postulates and Theorems	1. Participants review an exemplar resource on KOER in pairs 2. Participants work to develop a lesson on the topic they have chosen 3. Development of a lesson plan that can integrate Geogebra, hands on activities, other web based resources
2.30 – 4.00	Technology for connecting and learning	1. Creation of a personal digital library – for self learning and teaching learning 2. Accessing repositories for math and creating a reference folder/ document for an identified topic 3. Participating in email and mobile phone based groups	1. Introduction to Ubuntu 2. Introduction to Firefox 3. Creating a personal digital library 4. A compilation of useful web resources categorized by intended use 5. Learn Email	1. Participants are able to independently work with the computer, creating and managing folders 2. Participants should be able to access and evaluate resources from the web for their use - able to search for different kinds of resources - be able to copy and paste links for sharing and in documents - download images, videos, pages (whenever allowed legally) and organize in folders - be able to document resources in a text document 3. Participants are able to send, receive emails, send attachments 4. Participants learn to use email and Telegram groups synergistically

Day 2
9.30 – 11.00	Technology for creating and learning	Using text editor and Formula Writer to create question papers – bilingual	1. Learn Libre Office 2. Formula GIFs	Participants are able to develop sample question papers using LO
11.00 – 12.30	Panel discussion on Geogebra for mathematics teaching	National ICT Awardees Radha Narve (GHS Begur, RP - TALP) and Suchetha (GHS Thyamagondlu and RP – TALP) Moderator: TBD (Internal or Mythili)	Panelists Followed by open plenary sharing on the HW paper	Participants get to listen to practitioner perspectives on technology integration in mathematics teaching and for teacher development
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	Demonstration of exemplar resources	Sharing KOER pages on: Euclid’s axioms, postulates and theorem Triangles Circles	KOER pages – online and offline	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 – 3.30	Using Geogebra to make sketches for different lessons	1. Constructing the direct common tangent 2. 3-D window in Geogebra	Learn Geogebra Learning to make a drawing using Geogebra	Participants get comfortable in the use of Geogebra and use different tools to make sketches
