The sessions also focused on competency-based learning, experiential learning, activity- based pedagogy and the integration of technology in education of Mathematics. Teachers participated in collaborative tasks, Mathematical games, problem-solving activities and subject-specific discussions. Emphasis was also laid on designing learner-centred lesson plans and assessment strategies in alignment with the objectives of NEP 2020 and the CBSE competency-based education framework.
