The Neuroscience of

Deeper Learning

 

How do we teach?

How do we learn?

What if mathematics could be taught the way the brain learns?

But what if we wanted to do something more "mathematical"...

like 

Algebraic Expressions

Terms

Variable

Constant

Coefficient

3x + 7

Schema

ST Math is the cornerstone of a Language-rich classroom environment - but it's not about the language coming at the students, it's about the language coming from the students

"Why can't we just teach math the way I learned it?"

The volume of work often necessitates computers who can perform the routine machine operations with great speed, but who need not have much logical insight into what the results should be...

Memo: "Computing Group Organizations and Practices at NACA" April 24th 1942

The old way of teaching math was to make you do it like a machine...

The new way is to understand it so you can build the machines!

To ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems.
