Presenter:
Angela D'Angelo This session will explore the latest research on optimal ways the brain learns and retains new learning. Teaching students who struggle in understanding key concepts in Mathematics can be very challenging. We often find previous learning has been lost by the very next lesson. As a result, student frustration and feelings of inadequacy may lead to disengagement and “Maths Anxiety”. We will look at strategies and resources to help these students enhance their understanding and retention of concepts as well as build their skills and increase their confidence.
Learn more about what blocks student learning in Mathematics and how these obstacles can be overcome. Find out how to plan your lesson in order to maximise what will be retained in long term memory. We will look at the fascinating results outlined in Norman Doidge's book "The Brain that changes Itself" as well as other findings which will inform and impact directly on what you do in the classroom.
What to bring:laptop computer if possible, or writing paper if not.
