In mathematics education, the Van Hiele model is a theory that describes how students learn geometry. According to this theory, there are five levels of thinking or understanding in geometry:

• Visualization

• Analysis

• Abstraction

• Deduction

• Rigor

The aim of the workshops is to train teachers not only to use and integrate GeoGebra in teaching, but also to develop activities that dwell upon promoting mathematical thinking, which are the remaining levels of the theory (one can also think of these as "HOTS": Higher Order Thinking Skills).

Several introductory workshops on GeoGebra, in various languages, are being organized during first week of March, 2021. The target participants for these workshops would be teachers in schools and colleges who are willing to learn how to use GeoGebra in their teaching; but anyone else is also welcome to participate.

There is no registration fee for any of the events. Find all the details about the workshops below. The deadline for registration is February 24, 2021.

Inaugural speech by Prof. Inder K. Rana was scheduled on 01 March, 2021 at 5:00 PM IST. Participants of all the workshops are requested to attend this session.
