  1. PART 2: MEAN MATH BLUES DR. M. DAVIS-BRANTLEY

  2. Math Student SuccessPart II--Practice Put theory into practice: 1. Re-frame negative thoughts. 2. Dispel common math myths. 3. Adapt to their differences. 4. Maximize their minds.

  3. 1. How to re-frame My negative thoughts. Effective Words for Re-Frames: “Yet” “For now” “At this moment” Say “Math Affirmations”

  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

  11. Gardner’s (1983) Challenges traditional view of intelligence Take the Multiple Intelligences Test

  12. Every learner has a different combination of learning modes.

  13. Learning Styles Quiz Take out a pen and paper and record your answers.

  14. Learning Modes • Visual • Make lists • Take notes • Sit where you can see • Web notes

  15. Learning Modes • Auditory • Tape record lessons • Read aloud • Study with others • Talk about what you are learning

  16. Learning Modes • Kinesthetic • Participate actively • Ask and answer questions • Move around when you study • Work on chalk board

  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

  19. In Conclusion 1. Re-frame negative thoughts. 2. Dispel common math myths. 3. Adapt to your differences. 4. Maximize your minds.
