Please join us for our June numeracy webinar with Dr. Arindam Bose from Patna University in India. Dr. Bose will discuss whether exposure to work contexts can create opportunities for learning mathematics and he will present a case of how to measure how students learn math outside of the school context.
It is now increasingly accepted that children gather mathematical knowledge in diverse settings, including outside of school. Such knowledge includes concepts like counting, or doing simple addition and subtraction. This knowledge learned outside of school has strong pedagogical significance for classroom mathematics learning.
In this webinar, Dr. Bose will talk about how children construct mathematical concepts outside the classroom based on their environmental and work experiences and how this relates to in classroom learning.
Dr. Bose holds a doctoral degree in Mathematics Education from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, India and a masters degree in Mathematics from University of Pune. He has taught college level mathematics at Patna University and has also been a member of the mathematics focus-group in the making of the “Bihar Curriculum Framework – 2006” for school education in the Indian state of Bihar. Dr. Bose's key areas of interest in mathematics education are out-of-school mathematics, language diversity and mathematics learning, anthropology and history of mathematics education, and ethnomathematics.
