Solving
your learning equation involves balancing two sides, So I diagnose not
just strengths and weaknesses of your maths, but also your
learning style, I like to use
creative, innovative (wow!) approaches, developed from 25 years
of varied teaching and insight, The secret is to find ways that work for you - to make maths make more sense to you, make it stick better for you, and thus make it work better for you. I re-visit keystones repeatedly as pillars upon which so much maths rests (such as understanding splits in its various guises - from implicit / intuitive proportion to fractions, percentages, decimals and what I like to call "rat-i-o"! And if you've come, like many people, to dread algebra because you've been rushed into mathematical shorthand (like 4x+3=2x+10), I demystify it by showing you that algebra is all about patterns and connections first, while the standard algebra letters language is just one way of describing and working with those patterns, a servant not a master, albeit a very powerful servant. I'm convinced that wow! thinking = the single most important skill to be gained from school maths, not just in everyday life, but for A-level / other post-GCSE specialist maths learning, and in work. We need far more emphasis (in maths teaching and learning) on clear, logical effective reasoning, - and checking it if the result seems daft (e.g. way too high or low). |
