  4. Answer True or False to the following statements? 1. There is only one right way to work a math problem. 2. Math is always hard. 3. Only smart people can do math. 4. Mathematicians always do math problems quickly in their heads. 5. If I don’t understand a problem immediately, I never will.

  5. 3. We must adapt to our differences. Every brain is wired uniquely from heredity and from experience.

  6. Maximize our minds A brain has 10 billion neurons

  7. One neuron can make 10000000000000000000000000000 connections!

  8. Don’t memorize! Grow solid dendrites and make good brain connections! (Note—There is a re-frame on this page!!)

  9. To grow solid dendrites: Observe closely. Be active. Chunk. Get feedback soon. Consciously choose to learn. Use it or lose it. Have fun. Let it settle. Link words & actions. Link words & images.

  10. Interpersonal from Howard Gardner Intrapersonal Logical-Mathematical Bodily-Kinesthetic Musical Verbal-Linguistic Naturalist Spatial

  17. Retention after 24 hoursif taught primarily by: Lecture 5% Reading 10% Audio-Visual 20% Demonstration 30% Discussion Group 50% Practice by Doing 75% Teach Others/Immediate Use of learning 90%

  18. Get in the Zone • Match skills to work • Have pre-requisite skills • Set clear goals • Achievable • Measurable • Get Feedback • Check answers • Tutor others
