About This Course

This course builds on the important ideas for teaching mathematics introduced in So2a course on Geometric Reasoning by introducing another key domain of proportional reasoning to teachers and highlighting the importance of use of resources and assessment.

Unit 1 in this course aims to develop understanding of key ideas for supporting building of proportional reasoning among students like additive and multiplicative thinking, use of patterns for understanding scaling and understanding situations related to direct and inverse variation by representing them through tables, pictorially and through graphs.

Unit 2 focuses on the types of resources that can be used for teaching of mathematics ranging from the resources like language, people, artifacts and practices from daily life to the technically advanced resources like videos, games, simulations, apps for learning and assessment.

Unit 3 on assessment focuses on the importance of formative assessment and how it can inform subsequent teaching, introducing different forms of assessment including open ended questions and how assessment can be used not only to test leaning but also to promote learning.

My research interests lie in analyzing the interaction between teachers’ beliefs, knowledge and practices, and in the role of communities in teachers’ learning. I have taught and designed courses for teachers and have six years of teaching experience at the school level. At CLIx, I am engaged in brainstorming for the student modules and in anchoring the Teacher Professional Development module for Mathematics.
