This is Yeap Ban Har's presentation on Day 2. The three-day symposium was attended by administrators including superintendents, curriculum directors and principals from different parts of the US.
These Masterclasses were organized by Bazalt for Dutch educators. The first one on Bar Modeling (MAP111) was attended by about 70 educators and the second one on Fundamentals of Singapore Math (MAP101) was attended by close to 150 educators. This is the second time Masterclasses are held in the country.
This year's forum was attended by representatives from different countries among them people from Ministry of Education and Department of Education. Minister of Education (Panama) and Minister of Education (Trinidad & Tobago) were among the delegates.

This is the first course we offer to teachers. This course is designed to change mindset about what mathematics is and what roles teachers play in the class. Mathematics is a platform to develop thinking. It is not about memorization and following procedures blindly. In this course, teachers get to learn the key roles of visualization, patterns and number sense, plus all the human qualities that children develop when they are in our mathematics class. In Marshall Cavendish Institute, we believe that helping teachers change their mindset about teaching and learning is key to transforming the classroom into exciting places for learners.
