Participants:     All schools in Chennai were invited to nominate their mathematics teachers to attend the workshop. Invitations to schools on our address database were sent by post and by email. We also sent out email alerts to all school teachers whose addresses figure on our database with the request that they ensure participation of their respective schools. In addition, "independent" individuals, not affiliated to any school, were also invited to apply to participate (subject to availability of space and other resources).

A total of 83 teachers from 51 schools registered. Out of these, around 72 attended the workshop. In addition there were 3 independent participants.
