[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced that from the 9th to the 11th, it will conduct a ‘2021 Mathematics Education Software Utilization Training’ for 20 secondary school math teachers using a real-time interactive method via a video conferencing platform.

This training, totaling 15 hours, aims to improve teaching methods to make math easier and more enjoyable to teach, and to enhance students' basic academic skills through instructional innovation.

The training mainly covers how to use ‘Algeomath.’ ‘Algeomath’ is a geometry learning software jointly developed for the first time in Korea by the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity and 17 metropolitan and provincial offices of education. The name is derived from the first letters of the words, indicating that it covers all mathematics from algebra to geometry. It is a program that allows intuitive understanding of mathematical concepts and principles, as well as communication and collaboration online.

In particular, the training also covers software such as Desmos, which provides tools like graphing calculators, geometric tools, and classroom activity services, and Graspable Math, which allows algebraic manipulation as if handling objects by hand.

Ko Gwang-jin, Director of the Future Talent Division, said, “Through this training, we hope that math, which students find difficult, will transform into a class that they enjoy participating in,” and added, “We will continue to operate training related to math education to improve basic academic skills through enjoyable math education.”
