A strong foundation in number sense equips students with the skills to tackle real-world challenges effectively. With this vision, a Math Workshop was organized on November 30, 2024 at Delhi Public School to empower educators with strategies to nurture these essential skills in students. The workshop aimed to delve deeply into the teaching methodologies and educational philosophies that form the foundation of mathematical activities. It explored how these approaches can foster deeper understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills among learners. Ms. Subhomita conducted the session for classes Pre-Nursery to III, starting with an interactive approach by inviting teachers to ask questions about the concepts being explored.

Addressing these questions, the facilitator outlined the session's focus on examining the pedagogical approaches and key elements of the Jodo Gyan activities. The workshop emphasized the shift from a top-down teaching approach to an experiential, hands-on method where the teacher plays the role of a facilitator. To provide practical insights, teachers were shown glimpses of various activities being conducted in schools. A significant part of the workshop involved showcasing interactive teaching methods through videos and hands-on activities. The session reinforced that the teacher’s role is to guide, question, and provide scenarios where students can actively construct their understanding of numbers. This approach builds confidence and curiosity in exploring mathematical concepts. The workshop proved to be highly fruitful in equipping teachers with effective strategies to foster early mathematical skills in children. Through interactive activities and practical demonstrations, teachers gained valuable insights into enhancing number sense, counting, and creativity in the classroom.
