Finding High-Potential Learners: a session with ICSE teachers in Kolkata
Ashani Dasgupta
Dr. Ashani Dasgupta worked through four rich tasks — one per tier of the classroom-to-research pyramid — with ICSE school teachers in Kolkata.
Teacher training
Research shows that around 12% of students are deeply interested in mathematics (see the PISA papers). They need special accelerated training material and methods. In collaboration with Cheenta Academy, we publish such resources for teachers. Interested faculty members can also log in to access quizzes, downloadable problem lists and more, and join the certification path.
Each category holds reading material, quizzes, and downloadable problem lists.
Weekly problem lists that need no formulas — low floor, high ceiling — and the open circle where any child may present.
