The Mathematics Summit, an initiative by S Chand Publishing, returns for its fourth edition with an impactful two-day virtual event on August 28-29, 2025. This summit brings together educators, thought leaders, and experts to explore innovative strategies and approaches in mathematics education.
The theme of this year’s summit, "Building Mathematical Foundations : From Basic Numeracy to Lifelong Competency", focuses on empowering educators to bridge foundational gaps and promote lifelong competency. The summit will emphasize fostering a growth mindset, promoting equity and inclusion, and leveraging technology and real-world applications to make mathematics engaging for all students.
The topics covered in the summit align with the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2024 National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2023 and aim to address key aspects of modern math education, including differentiation, assessment, cross-curricular integration, and parental involvement. These sessions are designed to equip educators with the tools needed to meet the evolving needs of 21st-century learners.
The summit empowers educators of grades 1-8, offering fresh strategies and resources to create dynamic, engaging math classrooms that foster empowered and future-ready students.
These sessions will cover a wide range of topics, including:
Topic 1 : Mastering Numbers : Tackling Early Math Gaps
In alignment with ASER 2024 and the theme "Building Mathematical Foundations : From Basic Numeracy to Lifelong Competency," this session focuses on addressing early numeracy gaps. Early intervention strategies, including diagnostic tools and activities, will be discussed to help students build strong foundational math skills. The session will emphasize the importance of foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) and highlight how intervention can support learners struggling with basic concepts.
Topic 2 : Gamify & Simplify : Tech-Enabled Math Learning/ Math in the AI Age
This session focuses on the role of technology and gamification in modern math education. Participants will discover various EdTech tools and AI-driven models that help simplify math learning and make it more engaging. Aligned with ASER 2024 and NEP 2020, this session will highlight how technology can bridge learning gaps and create interactive, adaptive learning environments that cater to diverse student needs.
Topic 3 : Nurturing Math Mindsets : For Creative Problem-Solving
Fostering creative problem-solving and inquiry-based learning is at the heart of this session. Attendees will learn how to cultivate mathematical mindsets in students, encouraging logical reasoning and critical thinking rather than just rote memorization. The session will focus on developing skills in problem-solving and fostering growth mindsets aligned with ASER 2024 and NCF 2023, ensuring students engage deeply with mathematical concepts.
Topic 4 : Math Beyond the Classroom : Finding Math in the World Around Us
This session emphasizes making math relevant to students by connecting mathematical concepts to real-world situations. Educators will explore methods to relate math to daily life and community contexts, bringing math learning outside the classroom. Aligned with NEP 2020 and ASER 2024, it aims to integrate experiential learning, helping students see the practical applications of math in their surroundings.
Topic 5 : Math Without Fear : Breaking the Anxiety Cycle
This session will explore strategies to help students overcome math anxiety and develop a positive attitude towards mathematics. Aligned with the NEP 2020 and ASER 2024 findings, it will focus on techniques for building confidence, promoting a growth mindset, and making math a less intimidating subject. Through play-based and confidence-building exercises, educators will learn how to transform math anxiety into math enthusiasm.
Topic 6 : The Math Mentor : Upskilling Teachers for Impact
This session provides hands-on training and micro-teaching techniques to help educators enhance their teaching methods. Focused on teacher upskilling, this session will equip teachers with the latest pedagogical models to improve math instruction. It aligns with ASER 2024 and NEP 2020, aiming to empower teachers with tools to make a lasting impact on their students' mathematical learning.
Topic 7 : Parents as Partners : Strengthening Math at Home
Building the school-home connection is key to improving student outcomes in math. This session will provide strategies for engaging parents in the learning process, offering techniques for supporting math development at home. ASER 2024 and NCF 2023 emphasize the importance of parental involvement in education, and this session aims to provide practical methods for fostering this partnership.
Topic 8 : Math for All : Bridging Equity Gaps
Addressing equity in math education is critical to ensuring every student has access to quality learning opportunities. This session will explore inclusive teaching strategies to support students from diverse backgrounds, including those from marginalized communities and girls in STEM. Aligned with ASER 2024 and NEP 2020, the session will focus on building inclusive environments where all learners can succeed, emphasizing the importance of equitable access to math education.
