How The Brain Learns Mathematics
Course rating: 
Course Description
Presenter: Morris Needleman
Much has changed in our knowledge of the brain. This course will focus on the work of David Sousa and his insights. You will learn how the brain processes mathematical concepts and why some students develop maths anxiety. You will learn how to differnetiate your teaching to account for the cognitive mechanisms in learning mathematics, as well as the environmental and developmental factors that contribute to mathematical difficulties. We will examine ways to plan lessons in mathematics from K-12 to best help students learn. Morris Needleman is winner of a National Quality Teaching award and an Apple Designated Educator.
