Montamos poliedros con hilos DEL DESARROLLO AL 3D. Es un problema bien conocido que los estudiantes encuentran desafiante la visualización de formas tridimensionales, lo que genera dificultades en la enseñanza de los nombres y características de los poliedros. El método tradicional para crear formas a partir de redes bidimensionales, donde los estudiantes primero intentan visualizar cómo la red se pliega en la forma tridimensional y luego construyen físicamente el poliedro, puede ser problemático. Invariablemente, los alumnos dedicarán mucho tiempo y esfuerzo al ejercicio, pero a menudo cortarán accidentalmente las lengüetas y olvidarán o malinterpretarán qué bordes deben pegarse, lo que provocará angustia, frustración y un resultado insatisfactorio.
La geometría es un área de las matemáticas que atrae a muchos estudiantes, en particular a los pensadores visuales. Estos estudiantes a menudo se encuentran entre los que encuentran dificultades con las matemáticas o no están interesados en la materia. Here’s where parents can find out more on the science behind teaching reading.
The National Park Service Program Every Kid Outdoors Offers Free Pass To All Fourth Graders. One of our nation’s best kept secrets has to do with fourth graders and national parks. Did you know that anyone who can squeeze into a car with a fourth grader can get into any of our national parks for free? It’s true. Originally called the Every Kid in a Park program established by former President Obama, and now called Every Kid Outdoors, the program enables America’s fourth graders to visit hundreds of parks, lands and water for an entire year—and bring their family along. Remember that these sites consist of protected wild land as well as historical sites (the home of Martin Luther King, Jr., for instance) and lakes, rivers and oceans.
The process is easy: the fourth grader visits the Every Kid Outdoors website and answers two short hypothetical questions like whether you’d choose a nature walk, time travel or going swimming, and then you can print out your pass. Q: This sounds too good to be true. Fees for parking, camping, boat rentals and special tours aren’t covered. No. No. The North American Reciprocal Museum Association Is A Network Of Connected Museums That 'Share' Membership. Want an insider travel tip perfect for culture vultures? The North American Reciprocal Museum Association, or NARM, is a network of 1,261 different art museums, botanical gardens, hands-on children’s museums, zoos, planetariums and historical sites located all across the US and even some international spots. The basic premise is that you purchase a membership at a museum or site near you, and that membership then earns you free entry into every other facility in the network. This is great for planning an economical outing on your vacation—and is exceptionally useful for road trips where you might want to stop for an hour but not pay through the teeth for a brief but rewarding experience.
Here’s everything you need to know about the NARM card. Is there actually a NARM card? No. Once you buy a membership, then what? You’ll receive your membership card from the specific institution you chose, and that’s all you need to show at each facility in the network to gain free admission. Yes! No! Chastity Project.

Image: Bigstock Warning: the following article contains graphic descriptions of pornographic material. Sean Covey, son of the famous Stephen Covey, has written a terrific book for teens that I regularly recommend to parents: The 6 Most Important Decisions You’ll Ever Make. It’s full of wise, down-to-earth advice regarding the decisions teens have to make about friends, school, their relationships with their parents, love and sex, self-worth, and addictions. In the chapter on addictions, Covey calls pornography “the addiction of the 21st Century.” The sexual revolution normalized pornography. The Internet made it ubiquitous. Why should we be concerned about porn’s effects on our children’s sexual attitudes and behavior—and how can we talk to them about it? When do kids start watching porn?
Unfortunately, exposure to Internet pornography is happening at younger and younger ages. One girl, for her 8th birthday, got an Internet-abled device. What does internet porn show? Close my eyes.

By Christian Jarrett “Learning styles” – there can be few ideas that have created such a stark disconnect between the experts on the ground and the evidence published in scholarly journals. Endorsed by the overwhelming majority of teachers, yet dismissed by most psychologists and educational neuroscientists as a “neuromyth”, the basis of learning styles is that people learn better when taught via their preferred learning modality, usually (but not always) described as either visual, auditory or kinaesthetic.
Many studies have already uncovered serious problems with the learning styles concept, such as that measures of learning styles are invalid and that students do not in fact learn better via their preferred modality. Now further evidence against learning styles comes from Greece, in one of the first investigations on the topic to involve primary school pupils. All of the participating teachers endorsed the concept of learning styles. Image via JoanDragonfly / Flickr. Effects of the Tennessee Prekindergarten Program through third grade. Rational and Irrational Thought: The Thinking That IQ Tests Miss. No doubt you know several folks with perfectly respectable IQs who repeatedly make poor decisions. The behavior of such people tells us that we are missing something important by treating intelligence as if it encompassed all cognitive abilities.
I coined the term “dysrationalia” (analogous to “dyslexia”), meaning the inability to think and behave rationally despite having adequate intelligence, to draw attention to a large domain of cognitive life that intelligence tests fail to assess. Although most people recognize that IQ tests do not measure every important mental faculty, we behave as if they do. We have an implicit assumption that intelligence and rationality go together—or else why would we be so surprised when smart people do foolish things?
It is useful to get a handle on dysrationalia and its causes because we are beset by problems that require increasingly more accurate, rational responses. IQ tests do not measure dysrationalia. Are you a cognitive miser? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Home Page - Medieval Courses. Multum Non Multa by Andrew Campbell | Memoria Press. By Andrew Campbell It is all well and good to talk about traditional classical education, but how do we put it into practice today? Don’t we have far more history to learn other than classical history, not to mention science, modern languages, and common school subjects like health and driver’s ed.?
After all, we’re not preparing our children to be Greek philosophers, Roman orators, or (most of us) British statesmen. We have practical matters to consider: government requirements, standardized tests, college admissions. Yes, all that is true, at least to a certain extent. How does this play out in the classical curriculum? Second, whenever possible, subjects are taught in relation to one another and in the context of broader intellectual concerns. The verdict of history is yes. Contrast this with the typical approach of contemporary American schools.

How to raise a genius: lessons from a 45-year study of super-smart children.
Illustration by Vasava On a summer day in 1968, professor Julian Stanley met a brilliant but bored 12-year-old named Joseph Bates. The Baltimore student was so far ahead of his classmates in mathematics that his parents had arranged for him to take a computer-science course at Johns Hopkins University, where Stanley taught. Even that wasn't enough. Having leapfrogged ahead of the adults in the class, the child kept himself busy by teaching the FORTRAN programming language to graduate students. Unsure of what to do with Bates, his computer instructor introduced him to Stanley, a researcher well known for his work in psychometrics — the study of cognitive performance. To discover more about the young prodigy's talent, Stanley gave Bates a battery of tests that included the SAT college-admissions exam, normally taken by university-bound 16- to 18-year-olds in the United States.

This audio training course helps you hear music like a producer. Have you ever tried and failed to explain the sound of an effect that's been applied to a certain piece of music you love?
It's a pretty specific problem — and as someone who writes music criticism, I probably run into it more than most — but it's one even casual listeners can understand. It's frustrating to hear something just beneath the surface of a song and not understand how it was created. That's why Pro Audio Essentials, a new "game-based course" being offered by audio technology company iZotope, is an exciting concept: it has the potential to help professionals and amateurs alike refine their listening skills. It's a little like Duolingo for would-be music producers. Pro Audio Essentials is intended for use by people who are producing, mixing, and mastering music on a regular basis, but it's fun and simple enough for non-professionals with some free time and a decent set of headphones.
You can think about the music you hear in a different way. The Modes of Teaching (Part III) | The Josias. Faith-based science. Take this as faith: Our trust in the word of someone we esteem in a position to know, which we justify by pointing to the good we get from trusting. So defined, one of the ironies of “science vs. faith” is that science only separates itself from philosophy, and from earlier (more rigorous) accounts of science by being faith-based. I take my evidence for this as decisive: science is uncontroversially taught from nationwide standardized textbooks (NST). The evidence for what happens when you try to teach philosophy this way should be well known to most who comes to this site: remember what happened when the Church tried to make NST’s for Thomistic philosophy after the Leonine revival. Philosophers are still howling in protest fifty years after it ended, and not only Anti-Thomists: the Laval school insists they reject NST’s out of love of St.

Sure, my brothers had LEGO bricks, and every so often I’d kidnap some tiny LEGO men for a make-believe game. But I didn’t truly appreciate the engineering capacity of those studded plastic bricks. They were just so rigidly rectangular! As an adult, I’ve come to appreciate LEGO, both for its rectilinear aesthetic, and even more so, for its mathematical might. LEGO – Not Just for Playtime Chances are that if you are a parent or teacher, you already know, at least in theory, that these sturdy plastic blocks have huge intrinsic educational value. Let’s face it though – many elementary school teachers are women who, like me, did not grow up as LEGO experts.
You'll undoubtedly find mathematical inspiration in a pile of LEGO bricks.

How neuroscience beats PowerPoint coma. But there is a cure: Mix neuroscience with design with education theory and practice. Jared Horvath’s academic passion is translating the knowledge of neuroscience to enhance classroom teaching and learning. He has taught in US schools and is a researcher at Melbourne Graduate School of Education. He’ s now researching the impact of digital technology on learning, looking at effective combinations of text, audio and visuals.
“Unfortunately we don’t truly learn things by just pouring data in any fashion into our heads,’’ Mr Horvath says. “Education research suggests learning only occurs if there is interaction, integration and reinforcement via different sensory channels.” We intuitively know we need to see it, hear it, feel it, do it, think it and share it to learn it.
Mr Horvath has combed education, neuroscience and design literature to compile strategies to help people improve the PowerPoint presentation. Fact 1: Neuroscience shows people can’t actually read and listen at the same time. Educational Technology and Mobile Learning: Some Great Educational Tools Recommended by Teachers.
