What Science Knows About Learning Math

How children learn math is best understood through active construction rather than memorization of symbols and rules. This video explains how mathematical thinking develops through relationships, practice, and real-world experience, drawing on research by Jean Piaget and Keith Devlin. You will learn why conceptual understanding, mental models, and hands-on learning are essential for building strong math skills. #learn #math #pedagogy Introduction to Mathematical Thinking - free online course https://www.coursera.org/learn/mathematical-thinking Sources: What is Math Thinking and How Can Games Help Teach them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQEYo2loBsQ Young Children Reinvent Arithmetic: Implications of Piaget's Theory, Second Edition https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0807739049/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0807739049&linkCode=as2&tag=resourcesforprog&linkId=KR2CJGV3AAIYOI2T Keith Devlin, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Devlin Constance Kamii, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constance_Kamii Jerome Bruner, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Bruner Jean Piaget, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Piaget Research: Street Mathematics and school mathematics https://www.researchgate.net/publication/243772046_Street_Mathematics_and_School_Mathematics https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/444077 Play math games: Dragon Box https://dragonbox.com/products/algebra-12 Brain Quake, https://www.brainquake.com/ Wuzzit Trouble, https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wuzzit-trouble/id600190128?ls=1 Classroom ideas!
