It states that a learner's environment plays a pivotal role in his/her learning development.

  • Language is the main means by which adults transmit information to children.
  • Language itself becomes a very powerful tool of intellectual adaptation. By: Grant Farmer
Learners go through three stages of speech development:
  • Social Speech: Learners must engage in the social environment (begins at the age of 2). 
  • Private Speech: Learners voice their thoughts aloud (begins at age 3).
  • Inner Speech: Takes the form of ideas that remain within our minds and directly impact our behavior and thought (begins at age 7). By: Leslie Castillo

  • This is the idea that students can engage in learning by working or collaborating with someone that has an expertise within that field or subject.
  • It allows for the student to learn through interactions between them and their mentor as well as a bond being built between the student and the mentor.

  • Formed through the use of tools and symbols.
  • Intelligence is achieved when a learner can "internalize" the tolls that are being provided in the culture itself. 
  • When the tools of a culture evolve and emerge, the learner's ability to grow as individuals and increase their knowledge base is broadened.

Back 2 Back: The game's object is to guess the other player’s number before they guess yours. To play, two students come up to the board and stand back to back (hence the name). This allows the students to write on the board but blocks their view of the other person’s number.
    2. Spend Wisely: In this activity, the students will use fake money to purchase items. They will be given a certain amount of money and will be required to keep within their budget. The student who

Nonogram Puzzle: The puzzles can be tricky for some students; however, they are fun cognitive activities for kids who teach logical reasoning skills, organizational skills, and critical thinking.

  • Learners construct meaning through active engagement with the world, such as real-world problem solving or experiments. 
  • While information can be received passively, it can only be understood actively. The info must come from making meaningful connections between prior knowledge, new knowledge, and the process involved in learning.

Prodigy Math Game: An aligned math platform that engages students while reinforcing lesson content and teaching essential skills. Prodigy uses adaptive learning and differentiated instruction principles to adjust problems, addressing each student's trouble areas.
    2. Creating Mnemonic Devices: Separate the class into small groups and create their own cues such as rhymes and acronym to help them recall math facts. Then allow them to share it with the class.
    3. Math Baseball: This activity will allow the instructor to have complete control of the question student answer. First, divide the class into two teams. One team will start “at-bat,” scoring runs by choosing questions worth one, two, or three bases. You’ll “pitch” the questions, which range in difficulty depending on how many bases they’re worth. If the at-bat team answers incorrectly, the defending team can correctly respond to earn an out. After three outs, switch sides. Play until one team hits 10 runs or five for a shorter entry or exit ticket.
