Let us see: What is Innovative Innovations?
Innovative
Relatively New in present context, we can call it
new, modern and
Innovation
• process of translating an idea or invention
into a good or service creating a value.
• To be an innovation, idea must be replicable
at an economical cost and must satisfy a
specific need.
• It involves deliberate application of
information, imagination and initiative in
deriving greater or different values from
resources, and includes all processes by which
new ideas are generated and converted into
useful products.

Common Innovative Innovation in the
International Context
• GeoGebra
• Mathematica
• MatLab
• SPSS
• Khan Academy
•R
GeoGebra
• GeoGebra is freeware, written in Java,
and easily downloadable software
from the internet for the purpose of
the study of geometry, algebra,
calculus at different level.
• It comprises dynamic geometry and
algebraic manipulation packages
connecting a drawing window with an
algebra window.
• It is useful in order to generate
graphics and their visualization, test
questions and mathematical games as
well as math related problems
together with their dynamic visibility
in algebraic and geometric view.
 GeoGebra
 GeoGebra was characterized as…
user friendly / intuitive / enjoyable /
helpful / useful / …
 Teachers appreciated GeoGebra’s
potential for …
 fostering better understanding of
‘difficult’ concepts
 applications in a wide range of
mathematical topics
 facilitating their role as a teacher
 mathematica
Wolfram Mathematica (usually termed
Mathematica) is a modern technical
computing system spanning most areas
of technical computing — including
neural networks, machine learning,
image processing, geometry, data
science, visualizations, and others.
The system is used in many technical,
scientific, engineering, mathematical,
and computing fields.
It was conceived by Stephen Wolfram
and is developed by Wolfram Research
of Champaign, Illinois. The Wolfram
Language is the programming language
used in Mathematica.
• R is a programming language and free
software environment for statistical
computing and graphics that is supported
by the R Foundation for Statistical
Computing.
• The R language is widely used among
statisticians and data miners for
developing statistical software and data
analysis. Polls, surveys of data miners,
and studies of scholarly literature
databases show that R's popularity has
increased substantially in recent years.
• As of August 2018, R ranks 18th in the
TIOBE index, a measure of popularity of
programming languages.

R is both a language and software used for statistical computing and
graphing.
R was originally developed by Bell Laboratories (Currently known as Lucent
Technologies) by John Chambers. Since R is largely written in C language,
users can use C or C++ commands to manipulate R-objects directly. Also, R
runs on most UNIX platforms.
R is currently part of the Free Software Foundation GNU project.
R is freely available under the GNU General Public License, and pre-
compiled binary versions are provided for various operating systems. While
R has a command line interface, there are several graphical front-ends,
most notably R Studio. Integrated development environments are
available.
In the Context of Nepal…
Some of them are…
 MOODLE
 MiDass eCLASS
MiDass eCLASS
MiDas eCLASS is a Teaching and
Learning software (available in the
form of Android Apps also) that has
Tutorial Videos and Interactive Games
of all chapters of the book that
students study in their schools.
Using this software, students can
watch movies and play games of the
chapters they need to study in the
school, so that the students can enjoy
and learn their lesson easily.
• It empowers teachers and inspires
students.
 MiDass eCLASS
 It enables the student to become more effective and independent
learner.
 students seem to be self-esteemed and possess confidence in
competing on different level of programs and tactical exams.
 Internet is not needed to use MiDas eCLASS.
 It is available in two editions: School Edition & Student Edition.
 It facilitates teachers in making classroom interesting and
transforming traditional chalk and board classroom into an
interactive environment.
 It also helps students to retain the information gained for a long
period of time.
MOODLE
…
MOODLE is a mathematics related website which is used for teaching
and learning mathematics at university level.
 It is one of the most famous mathematics learning website for
university mathematics and was developed by the Department of
Education, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Nepal in 2014.
The primary aim of this moodle is to provide virtual platform for
university mathematics as well as how to make mathematics more
dynamic and interesting in school level. Because of its use in teacher
preparation course.
With this website, pre-service teachers can share their ideas to their
tutors, friends and educators as the part of discussion.

MOODLE
 Moreover, pre-service teachers or students of mathematics education can
be participated in the discussion from anywhere.
 It is more virtual and easy to use.
 Students of mathematics education upload their home assignment through
this website and teachers provide feedback in the students tasks as far as
quickly.
 Students’ performance is recorded in this websites in terms of frequency of
participation and creativity in their task completion with respect to time.
 Finally, the recorded performance of the students is used as the final
assessment of the students.
