 -Teaching

     I have started to teach mathematics from elementary schools, extended to high schools. During this long period of the time got interested when I meet my studentsprogress in solving mathematical problems. This positive experience caused to look at the mathematics very deeply.

     -Publishing text books

       After a while which I taught mathematics, I feeled an ultimate change in mathematical textbooks. Between textbooks, adult education texts were very similar to children textbooks, and it was not acceptable published two books in two different methods and their guidebooks for teachers. These distributed nation wide in whole country. Feedback was excellent, and it encouraged me to continue. Teachers training were an ultimate program for department of education in Iran, and I cooperate with them. The last several books, which I have published, were academic textbooks for teacher’s candidates as mentioned in publication document.
 
 
 

     Research

      There are many students who have learning difficulties in mathematics education. Many of former teachers in teachers training classes were complaining, some of their students have difficulties and they are not able to study mathematics as normal children, it was first time I felt need to make research locally to overcome some emerging problems.
