This paper shows how a group of educators initiated in-service workshops for primary and secondary mathematics teachers since 2012 in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) in Lesotho. The prime focus of these workshops was to develop teachers’ capacity building in mathematics through peer-support. The paper also narrates how a chain of these workshops evolved to a capacity building program with innovative approaches in classrooms. These workshops explored ideas on numbers, shapes (through the use of origami) and problem solving for effective teaching/learning of mathematics. The concept of peer tutoring/learning had emerged from these workshops as an idea that suits Lesotho education system. A capacity building program was thus recommended for the sustainability of these activities.
