Session A12 The Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract Approach in Primary Mathematics (Abstract Page 22) MAV2013 Session 1 CPA Approach from Jimmy Keng Session D11 Bar Model Method for Primary Mathematics (Abstract Page 54) MAV2013 Model Method from Jimmy Keng

Open Lesson by  Mr. Yutaka Oneda (Japan) on seeing planes in three-dimensional solids. I was the moderator of the post-lesson discussion. Yeap Ban Har (Singapore), Patsy Wang-Iverson (USA) and Michael Kleine (Germany) are on the panel for the post-lesson discussion. Together with other country specialists, I will be presenting the work done on lesson study related to floods and mathematics. Country specialists are also working on contributing learning activities. Project Overseers are Japan / Tsukuba University and Thailand / Khon Kaen University. Nobuaki Kawasaki, a master teacher from High School attached to Tsukuba University shared how he used data to model typhoon. Roberto Araya (University of Chile and Ministry of Education  Chile) described the Chilean case study a lesson on modelling propagation phenomena such as earthquake. The lesson study was done with grade five and grad eight classes. They used CPA and USAB to frame the lesson. Subanar and Fadjar Sh...

Programme I will be a discussant where Kiyomi Akaita and Camilla Björklund will be presenting on lesson study in early childhood education. This is one of the plenary panels planned for the conference. The slides used in discussing Akita and Bjorklund's presentations are available here . C. Bjorklund (Sweden) K. Akita (Japan)

I presented a session on Friday morning. These are the problems discussed at the session I presented. NCTM 2013 from Jimmy Keng I also presented at an event organized by HMH on the evening of 17 April 2013.   Dinner Event HMH from Jimmy Keng

I will conducted an invited workshop on using textbooks. Participants will learn to use textbooks to plan problem-based lessons and in doing lesson study.

Analyses of Mathematics Teacher Professional Development Programs in Selected Developed and Developing Countries: Insights for Quality Mathematics Instruction in Sub-Saharan African Countries (Math-TPDP). This project is by University of South Africa (UNISA)'s newly-formed Department of Mathematics Education. It was held in Leopard Lodge, on the outskirts of Pretoria. Leopard Lodge - venue of research meeting Prof Luckson M. Kaino as a leader of the research study welcomed the researchers. Prof M. G. Ngoepe (Chair of Department) gave an overview of the newly-formed department. Prof El Yacoubi (Morocco) and Prof Kasanda (Namibia) presented overviews of teacher education and professional development programmes in their respective countries. As of 2010, all teacher preparation programmes came under one university (University of Namibia). This is like the case of Singapore. At the moment, it does not offer any teacher professional development programme. This is unlike Sin...
