Charchaa

At Aavishkaar, the language of mathematics and science unfolds like a story with a unique discussion practice called “Ganit/Vigyaan Charchaa” or “Math/Science Talk.” Its goal is to foster an environment of collective learning and empowerment. 

These Charchaa provides a unique insight into students’ abilities and struggles. Therefore, it helps educators tailor their lesson plans accordingly. During teacher training, the trainees experience
this unique quality of charchaa in realtime. Facilitators identify areas where the trainees need support. Then, they carefully create opportunities for them to practice their skills in a safe space, e.g., by providing trainees struggling with articulation with an opportunity to practice the art of articulation. Additionally, the open-ended nature of the discussion also encourages trainees to pose questions to each other, fostering a culture of curiosity and exploration.

Below are few frameworks of the Charchaa and video in each to help you execute in your classroom.

Which one doesn't belong?

What is same? What is different?

How many dots did you see?

What Math do you see?

Guess my rule!

How do you see the pattern growing?

* We would like to thank Math Educators from across the world who have designed/inspired these Charchaa.
