1. ACTION PLAN JICA – CRICED Tsukuba University Cecilia Beatriz CASTRO LAZARTE March 5 th, 2010

2. PROBLEM TREE Students don't use basic mathematics properly Bad teaching training structure for Mathematics at schools in Cochabamba. Pre-service teacher training Program doesn't have enough methodological contents Lesson Study is not included in the contents of Science Didactics In - service teachers at CEIVO school use always the same lesson plan Teachers don't have a structure to review the lesson. Students don't like mathematics Teachers don't enjoy teaching maths. Teachers don't use concrete materials in Math classes other than to count.

3. OBJECTIVE TREE Students can use basic mathematics properly Improve teaching training structure for Mathematics at schools in Cochabamba. Increase pre-service teacher training Program methodological contents Include Lesson Study is in the contents of Science Didactics In - service teachers at CEIVO school will make their own lesson plan Implement "Lesson Study at this School" Students enjoy mathematics Teachers enjoy teaching maths. Teachers use Hands - on Math to teach "base 10 system" for example.
