Global CalMathics Institute for Inclusive Education and Technology

On Friday, 14 November, we kick-started the TiME program in Northern Region with Northern School of Business (NOBISCO).

25 mathematics teachers participated in the workshop, with many offering invaluable insights that will shape the program's course moving forward.

A full rollout of the remaining phases will be implemented to augment the school's already thrilling STEM performance. Much appreciation to the Regional GES Directorate and the leadership of NOBISCO.

Education is evolving—and so are we.

At 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞, we believe that 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲is not just a tool—it’s a bridge to better, more inclusive learning.

Through innovative solutions like our Technology Integrated Mathematics Education, 𝐓𝐢𝐌𝐄 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦, we’re helping students and teachers unlock the full potential of the scientific calculator to scale performance and prepare them for STEM careers —especially in under-resourced communities.

💡 When technology meets purpose, education becomes powerful.

When a school with an already impressive Mathematics legacy at the WASSCE opens its doors for further learning, you know the future is bright.

It was a true honour for us to take the Mathematics teachers of 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐨 through the Technology-Integrated Mathematics Education (TiME) Program—a powerful reminder that even the best always strive to get better.

Together, we explored 6 major scientific calculator strategies aimed at deepening student understanding and performance:

• Coding

• Complex Expression

• Alternative Test

• Graph Diagnosis

• Formula Alteration

• Applied Meaning

On Friday, May 9, the Global CalMathics Institute for Inclusive Education and Technology trained 22 mathematics teachers at Navrongo SHS, in the Upper East Region of Ghana, through the 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲-𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐓𝐢𝐌𝐄) 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦

This session introduced the teachers to 6 major calculator strategies:

1. 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠

2. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

3. 𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠

4. 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬

5. 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

6. 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠

Also, we’re laying the groundwork for the full-scale implementation of the 𝐓𝐢𝐌𝐄 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 at the school—ensuring more students benefit from tech-driven mathematics education. We appreciate Nabia, the headmistress and all math teachers of the school for making this a success.

🚀 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲!

We’re thrilled to announce a special 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲-𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐓𝐢𝐌𝐄)Capacity Building Workshop for Maths teachers at 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐨, organized by The 𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐍𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐀) in partnership with 𝐆-𝐂𝐈𝐈𝐄𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡!

As Ghana pushes STEM education forward, empowering teachers with tech tools ensures every student benefits. It’s even more inspiring that Hon. Haruna Iddrisu (current Minister of Education and a proud Navasco alumnus) exemplifies how foundational education shapes national leaders!

🌟 TIME Coordinator Spotlight: Mr. Ibrahim Imurana – Empowering STEM Education at Azantilow SHTS! 🚀📚

Meet Mr. Ibrahim Imurana, the Head of Mathematics Department at Azantilow SHTS in Sandema, Upper East Region, and one of the driving forces behind the success of CalMathics and the TiME Program powered by G-CIIETech.
🗣️ Here’s what Mr. Ibrahim Imurana has to say about their experience:

"CalMathics has given my students renewed hope by providing an affordable and practical way to understand mathematical concepts. With the aid of a scientific calculator and the step-by-step Do-It-Yourself CalMathics manual, they are now more confident in problem-solving. Truly, CalMathics is the hope for senior high students."

As the TiME project coordinator as well the HoD for Mathematics department, he has been at the forefront of ensuring that students and educators alike benefit from the tools and resources provided by the TiME Program.

💡 Impact So Far:
✅ Increased confidence in problem-solving.

✅ Teachers embracing tech-driven methods to enhance lessons.

✅ Stronger focus on practical learning through CalMathics books and scientific calculators.

We’re incredibly grateful for the leadership and commitment of coordinators like Mr. Ibrahim Imurana as we work to bring the TiME Program to life in Azantilow SHTS.

🌟 Exciting Update: The TiME Program is Transforming STEM Education in Upper West Region! 🚀📚

In May 2024, the Upper West Regional Ghana Education Service collaborated with the Global CalMathics Institute for Inclusive Education and Technology (G-CIIETech) to implement the Technology-Integrated Mathematics Education (TiME) Program in 12 Senior High Schools across the region.

Fast forward to today—we’re thrilled to share that the project is already underway! 🎉
We’ve started working with several schools, and the impact has been incredible:

✅ Students are mastering scientific calculator usage to boost performance in STEM subjects.

✅ Teachers are integrating technology into their lessons, making learning more practical and engaging.

✅ Confidence in mathematics is rising, with students demonstrating improved problem-solving skills.

This partnership is a major milestone in our mission to make STEM education accessible, inclusive, and technology-driven.

💡 At GCI, we believe technology is the bridge to educational excellence, and this collaboration is bringing that belief to life—one classroom at a time.
A heartfelt thank you to the Upper West Regional Ghana Education Service for trusting in our vision. Together, we’re shaping the future of STEM education in Ghana! 💙
