Intertwining Executive Function, Fluency, and Reasoning:
MIND Research’s journey from theory
to practice regarding how we learn
How do we teach?
How do we learn?
We believe that math should be taught the way the
brain learns.
This doesn't just work for
early elementary math;
it applies to ALL LEARNING, including
advanced mathematical concepts.
