How DO We Learn Math?
What makes it possible to learn advanced math fairly quickly is that the human brain is capable of learning to follow a given set of rules without understanding them, and apply them in an intelligent and useful fashion. Given sufficient practice, the brain eventually discovers (or creates) meaning in what began as a meaningless game.— Keith DevlinShould Children Learn Math by Starting with Counting? It seems obvious that our children must have a wide range of experience with real world objects before counting, addition, or subtraction mean anything to them. But are other topics, such as calculus, better learned as abstract rules — as a game that we play with symbols? And what about the topics in the middle? To teach effectively, I need to understand how students learn. I Learn by Discovery Collect lots of experiences.Notice patterns or trends.Develop mental metaphors to explain the patterns, and postulate rules from the metaphors.Test the rules against future experiences.

Verfasst von Jens Voigt, am 10. Februar 2015 Vom Wesen der Eselsbrücken Wieso heißt eigentlich eine Eselsbrücke Eselsbrücke? Eselsbrücken baute man früher, um Eseln trockenen Hufes über kleinere Gewässer zu bringen. Unsere eigenen Eselsbrücken erstellen wir uns beim Nutzen von Mnemotechniken.

Deeper learning requires students to think, question, pursue, and create—to take agency and ownership of their learning. When they do, they acquire deeper understanding and skills, and most important, they become more competent learners in and out of school. They become better prepared to succeed in academics, but also in 21st century careers and in life. We can’t force students to develop agency and drive their own learning. It must come from within. Hierarchy of Learner Needs A large body of research in psychology and education, focused on areas such as motivation, mindset, college & career readiness, grit, non-cognitive factors, and 21st century competencies, is uncovering the critical elements needed for students to drive their own learning. Before diving in, let’s acknowledge that just like any other human being, students need to meet their physiological needs such as food, safety (physical and emotional), and connection with others. A growth mindset can be learned. Dweck.
The Shichida Method
by Brad Davis, Mercury Learning Systems LLC Professor Shichida is a pioneer in the development and success of accelerated learning know by many as the Shichida Method. He is a well-known figure in Japan with more than 40 years of practice in developing and implementing unique teaching methods that stimulate the inborn genius in young children. Since developing the Shichida method, he has founded over 400 Child Academies in Japan and written more than 100 books in Japanese, some of which remains on the bestsellers list in Japan. Four of his books have been translated into English. He is a fellow of the International Academy of Education and advisor to the Japan Mathematical Certification Association. His right brain left brain training institute emphasizes the importance of parent-child bonding and how this will impact the quality of brain stimulation. High-Speed, High-Capacity Memory Tremendous Potential He says that from ages 0-3, the right brain is dominant. "Babies Are Geniuses"
Apple poised to bring important changes to its iBook platform
Apple may be poised to announce changes coming to iBooks, and perhaps eBook publishing, sometime this month. In particular, we believe the announcement may have important reverberations for textbook publishers and buyers. According to a report by All Things Digital published Monday, the company is planning a media event in New York to make a "media-related," not hardware-related announcement. Apple has recently highlighted the ability of its iBooks platform to include sound, video, and other features by offering a free eBook of The Yellow Submarine. Several authors have also told Ars that they long for tools to help transform book text into standards-compliant eBooks. Incidentally, one source who has worked with Apple to integrate technology in education recently suggested that Apple may have important changes coming to its iBooks platform directed specifically toward the academic set.
Proficiency-Based Learning Definition
Proficiency-based learning refers to systems of instruction, assessment, grading, and academic reporting that are based on students demonstrating that they have learned the knowledge and skills they are expected to learn as they progress through their education. In public schools, , proficiency-based systems use state learning standards to determine academic expectations and define “proficiency” in a given course, subject area, or grade level (although other sets of standards may also be used, including standards developed by districts and schools or by subject-area organizations). The general goal of proficiency-based learning is to ensure that students are acquiring the knowledge and skills that are deemed to be essential to success in school, higher education, careers, and adult life. In practice, proficiency-based learning can take a wide variety of forms from state to state or school to school—there is no single model or universally used approach. Reform Debate

How Teachers Can Motivate Students of Any Age | MindShift
Barry Schwartz laughs as he describes the little girl next door who suddenly dove into reading after a substitute teacher took over her elementary school classroom. For every book they read, recalls the Swarthmore College psychology professor, students received a point, which they later cashed in for prizes. The girl then started to read a book an hour. The only catch was that she picked her books based on the number of pages and type size, and “she couldn’t tell you anything about any of them,” he says. Schwartz shared this story about the binge-reading neighbor during a conference call with Yale University associate professor Amy Wrzesniewski explaining their research on motivation. The scholars have been carrying out a longitudinal study of more than 10,000 cadets at the U.S. The same subtle interplay between motivation and rewards is also at work when it comes to education and learning, say Schwartz and Wrzesniewski.
