Teachers' Workshops

The initiative will train more than 400 secondary school teachers. In addition to building teachers' capacity, we organize workshops and seminars for educators to share experience and practice.

Teachers’ Development

As teachers’ development is considered as the facilitating factor of the promotion of students’ learning in mathematical modelling and its applications, it is set as one of the crucial goals of this proposed project. The expected learning outcomes for teachers include changes in attitudes, behaviors and skills for integrating mathematical modelling in teaching.

Teachers and students downloaded "MathKit" before they attended the workshop so they can learn how to use the software under the instruction from the Professor. It was a great chance for them to experience the applications of a math software in learning.

Professor introduced the Kolmogorov School of Moscow State University and related math activities. He also mentioned the math problems in real life.

One of the problems discussed in the workshop is called Buffon's Needle Problem. When you throw a needle (or any shred things) onto a plane with equal distance parallel lines (a piece of paper or floor), and then record the frequency of intersection of the needle and the lines. Interestingly, by making a small change to the math expression, we can estimate the value of pi. When the number of throwing is higher, we can get a more accurate value of pi.

Besides, the simulation of the road traffic, or the spouse-selecting strategies were illustrated.
Finally, we give a big thanks to Prof. Vladimir Dubrovsky for the great workshop, and we thank for the teachers and students who attended to the workshop and the co-organizer, Department of Mathematics, The University of Hong Kong.
