This book was released on 2007 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brain-based learning strategies were used to assist fourth grade students in a Title I, urban school to memorize multiplications facts from two to nine. This study took six months to complete. The numerous strategies used included, looking at the facts, listening to music, singing a song, moving arms in a crisscross motion across the chest, and having a relaxed classroom setting. Several times weekly students practiced math facts, took a test on 50 multiples in two minutes, and graded them for immediate results. The outcome of the study revealed significant documented growth and retention in students' abilities to complete 50 math facts in two minutes and have positive attitudes toward math."--leaf 4.

Download or read book Funds of Knowledge written by Norma Gonzalez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of "funds of knowledge" is based on a simple premise: people are competent and have knowledge, and their life experiences have given them that knowledge. The claim in this book is that first-hand research experiences with families allow one to document this competence and knowledge, and that such engagement provides many possibilities for positive pedagogical actions. Drawing from both Vygotskian and neo-sociocultural perspectives in designing a methodology that views the everyday practices of language and action as constructing knowledge, the funds of knowledge approach facilitates a systematic and powerful way to represent communities in terms of the resources they possess and how to harness them for classroom teaching. This book accomplishes three objectives: It gives readers the basic methodology and techniques followed in the contributors' funds of knowledge research; it extends the boundaries of what these researchers have done; and it explores the applications to classroom practice that can result from teachers knowing the communities in which they work. In a time when national educational discourses focus on system reform and wholesale replicability across school sites, this book offers a counter-perspective stating that instruction must be linked to students' lives, and that details of effective pedagogy should be linked to local histories and community contexts. This approach should not be confused with parent participation programs, although that is often a fortuitous consequence of the work described. It is also not an attempt to teach parents "how to do school" although that could certainly be an outcome if the parents so desired. Instead, the funds of knowledge approach attempts to accomplish something that may be even more challenging: to alter the perceptions of working-class or poor communities by viewing their households primarily in terms of their strengths and resources, their defining pedagogical characteristics. Funds of Knowledge: Theorizing Practices in Households, Communities, and Classrooms is a critically important volume for all teachers and teachers-to-be, and for researchers and graduate students of language, culture, and education.

Book excerpt: Students' brains are wired to make them natural, curious learners. The mathematical world around them offers a vast classroom, filled with textiles, shapes, spaces, quantities, and experiences to discover and explore, all leading to the construction of understanding. Teachers can use this natural curiosity to tap the inborn neural mechanisms that motivate students to learn--to make relevance and meaning of their surroundings. Brain-Compatible Mathematics, Second Edition bridges the findings from the realms of brain research and improved mathematics instruction through teaching samples, standards, newest research findings, and integration to other content areas.

Download or read book Problem Based Learning for Math and Science written by Diane Ronis and published by Corwin. This book was released on 2001-06-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formerly a SkyLight publication. Linked to standards, this resource provides you with the ideal instructional tools for designing, implementing, and evaluating problem-based learning experiences. Author Diane Ronis offers specific, practical projects for the classroom, and explains how to make technology an integral part of the inquiry process in real-world problem solving. According to the Ronis, "Research indicates that an integrated approach to learning aligns with the way the brain naturally processes and internalizes new information. Since mathematics and science are integrated in the world outside the classroom, and technology has become a natural extension of this integration, it seems only logical that these areas be studied together inside the classroom."
