with graph paper, serves the purpose
of understanding the concepts of
Mathematics in a very concise and
concrete way. Another method I fol-
lowed is Crosschecking method. In
this method, students cross check the
obtained answers with the given
question. Learning through animated
and interactive movies was also in-
troduced to students as being in-
spired by Geo Gebra, an open-source
digital tool to engage the pupils.

Tell us about your personal
achievements?
I have done Small Scale Research
(action oriented) on "The impact of
low cost and no cost teaching learn-
ing material on students achieve-
ment in learning Mathematics at sec-
ondary level" and submitted a paper
at National Seminar on Mathematics
Education conducted by NCERT-
New Delhi in December 2018. I am
Mr. Kandala Ramaiah with his
students in his school's
Mathematics Laboratory

one of the authors of Telangana State
Mathematics Textbooks (classes 4th,
5th& 10th) developed by SCERT and
also the author of teacher hand-
books, modules and e-content devel-
opment. I participated in National
Level seminars, conferences and
workshops conducted by
NCERT/RIE and presented papers
on different classroom practices and
experiments, motivated students to-
wards social work and building com-
munity assets.
I worked as a Resource Person for
Mobile Science centre in Warangal
District, where I developed TLM
with low cost and no cost and exhib-
ited and trained teachers in TLM
development.

How did you reach out to the
students during the pandemic?
In the early stages of Covid-19,
WhatsApp groups were created,
and students were sent videos ex-
plaining the fundamentals. Even-
tually, I began establishing a video
conference connection between
them using Google Meet and
Zoom.

What is your goal?
My goal is not only to enhance the
innate abilities of students in Math-
ematics but also integrating the on-
line tools for enriching their reason-
ing, proof and Mathematical
communication skills and thus cre-
ating a Virtual Learning Environ-
ment to students.
