To create moments of connection, we bring students together for a synchronizing moment by inviting them to share in a purposeful and productive struggle. This can be as simple as working on a problem together. The important part is the struggle. We must allow students to struggle because we believe they can figure it out with the proper support and scaffolding from us, but without rescuing them - providing the answer because "they're never going to get it".

According to research, our traditional way of teaching math facts is not effective for many students, causing tremendous anxiety and lack of retention. Surprisingly, even students who are adept at math can have these same reactions.

If this is the case, then how should we teach math facts so that it is non-anxiety inducing and results in retention? Stay tuned and watch this space in future newsletters. Or reach out to your math specialists if you don't want to wait that long...

Please reach out for any support you or your teachers need. We are always excited to help!

What is mathematics? It is only a systematic effort of solving puzzles posed by nature. (Shakuntala Devi)
