I was interested in how drivers of black cabs are trained and the amount of information they are required to know compared to bus drivers with fixed routes. The information on their brain functioning was fascinating! https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950265 2017-01-18 20:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950265 I really am fascinated about the learning of math facts. The lack of timing piece is so important, but how does it impact them during longer processes? kcoffin1 https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950285 2017-01-18 20:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950285 jiannacone https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950330 Math fact practice and flash cards are not a good way to practice math facts - there are better ways to practice]]> 2017-01-18 20:41:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950330 Mistakes can help the brain expand--whether the mistakes are "conscious" or "unconscious." https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950374 2017-01-18 20:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950374 High-achieving students may not grow because they are afraid of "slipping up. https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950631 2017-01-18 20:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950631 The (mistaken?) idea that some students are just not ready developmentally for certain math content. https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950770 2017-01-18 20:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950770 https://padlet.com/mmcginty4/zwg4o8z7ycmb/wish/147950893 'The extent of negative emotions elementary teachers held about mathematics predicted the achievement of girls in their classes, but not boys'.
