Paper presentation sessions
TIME 2023 aims to bring together mathematics teachers from schools and colleges, mathematics educators and individuals interested in various aspects of mathematics education on a common platform to showcase their best practices. The conference will be held in online mode. Participants who are interested to present their work during the paper presentation sessions of the conference must submit their abstract in the required format** via the following Google form:

The five themes of the conference are as follows:
Theme 1: Use of technology in the mathematics classroom
Presentations in this strand may include the use of Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS), spreadsheets, Graphics Calculators, Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) and other software and ICT tools for teaching and learning mathematics at various levels of school or college. Emphasis must be on the use of technology for enhancing mathematics learning and also on the pedagogical issues encountered while integrating a tool in the teaching learning process.
Theme 2: Use of innovative resources in mathematics classrooms
Presentations in this strand may include any innovation which has had a positive impact on teaching and learning mathematics at any level, be it primary, upper primary (middle school), secondary, senior secondary or college level. Presentations on specific activities which highlight an important mathematical concept or some aspect of a topic of school mathematics and which can be conducted in a mathematics laboratory will also be welcomed.
Theme 3: Mathematics modelling and applications in school mathematics
Presentations in this strand may focus on how modelling and applications of mathematics can be included in the school curriculum to help student appreciate the relevance of mathematics to various subject disciplines and also to solve problems in real life.
Theme 4: Mathematics curriculum and assessment
This strand will focus on presentations which emphasise the relevance of various topics in the curriculum and on how assessment of learning in these topics may be done through innovative means.
Theme 5: Mathematics education initiatives and practices during the pandemic
This strand of the conference will focus on initiatives taken by mathematics teachers and educators to interact and engage with their students during the pandemic. Presentations in this strand may be on the pedagogical measures adopted to teach mathematics both in synchronous as well as asynchronous mode.
