The learning of mathematics at all levels involves more than the basic acquisition of concepts and skills. It also crucially involves an understanding of the underlying mathematical thinking, the general strategies of problem solving and positive attitudes to and appreciation of mathematics as an important and powerful tool in everyday life.

These workshops are to provide an insight into some important aspects of teaching and learning mathematics. The speaker will share with participants some effective methods through which children can be more productively engaged to develop mathematical reasoning and problem solving skills. These processes can meaningfully enhance children's mathematical experiences and their conceptual understanding in mathematics.
