The
valedictory function of DST sponsored National Level Training workshop on
Visual Explanation of Geometrical Theorms was successfully organized at HMV
Collegiate Sr. Sec. School under the dynamic guidance of Principal Prof. Dr.
(Mrs.) Ajay Sareen. On this occasion school coordinator Mrs. Meenakshi Sayal,
alongwith Dr. K.S. Bath, Joint Director, Punjab Council for Science & Technology,
extended green welcome to worthy chief guest
Dr. Pawan Gupta, Member Local Managing Committee. The event commenced
with lamp lighting ceremony followed by the recital of DAV Gaan. The sole
purpose of organising the training workshop was to incorporate technology in
Mathematics classrooms and to engage students in active learning.
On the
first day of the workshop three sessions were conducted in which the keynote
speaker Sh. Gurmeet Singh gave demonstration and presentation of teaching aids
about measurement of various angles in mathematics. On the second day of the
workshop Sh. Gurmeet Singh explained properties and theorms of circle, cyclic
quadrilateral, arc and chord. The valedictory session concluded by discussing
theorms regarding angle bisectors of a triangle and median of a triangle. It
was an interactive session with the incorporation of various activities on
mathematical concepts which benefitted teachers from various schools. The
workshop was informative, constructive and interactive. Coordinator Mrs.
Meenakshi Sayal expressed her gratitude to the resource person for making the
session most informative and innovative. She also thanked the worthy guests
presiding over the event. She said that it is integration of technology in
mathematics that provided educators with hands-on-experience using
technological tools. The chief guest Dr. Pawan Gupta also insisted on bridging
the gap between content and pedagogy as mathematics has traditionally been
perceived difficult and it is need of the hour to introduce new techniques to
make it simple as well as interesting. Around 30 teachers from different schools
participated in this workshop and they felt elated to gain knowledge about new
techniques of teaching mathematics and were excited to make use of teaching
aids. The stage was conducted by Ms. Jaspreet Kaur. Overall it was a great
opportunity for all the mathematics teachers.
