Teaching mathematics online

  • Participants engage with pre-set problems and resources before meeting online
  • Presentations are mixed with some joint activity to enable social interaction.
  • For large groups (e.g. over a dozen) consider muting all participants. Questions and comments to be submitted via Chat.
  • For large groups utilise breakout groups to enable discussion in smaller groups
  • Consider utilising polling to keep participants engaged
  • Build in a break away from the screen for long sessions (over an hour)
  • Utilise share screen to share PowerPoint, or audio resource, or video resource, or whiteboard
  • Consider setting up a second camera, which may be a smartphone or web camera to view written work.
  • Record the on-line session, if appropriate, to enable participants to review the session or to catch up if missed.
  • Consider using an online session in conjunction with offline e.g. emails, WhatsApp, or a closed Facebook page
