Why Are Timed Math Drills Bad for Kids? Teacherflix 17 Views • 2 years ago

Why are timed math drills bad for kids? And how do timed math drills promote math anxiety?

Let's explore the research of Stanford Professor Jo Boaler, the author of Mathematical Mindsets, concerning why timed math tests amplify math anxiety and turn students, especially girls, away from math. To reform math education, we need to shift the focus to a growth mindset for math and onto achieving deep mathematical understanding.

Jo Boaler: Stanford researcher, professor of math education and author of the acclaimed book, Mathematical Mindsets.

Math anxiety has now been recorded in students as young as five, and timed tests are a major cause of this debilitating, often lifelong condition.

Timed tests evoke such strong emotions that students often come to believe that being fast with math facts is the essence of mathematics.

This misguided emphasis on speed and memorization has resulted in high numbers of students dropping out of mathematics.

Brain research shows us that under the stress of time pressure, working memory can become blocked, leaving students unable to retrieve what they already know.

The blocking of the working memory and associated anxiety is particularly common among higher-achieving students and girls.

When schools make learning math an anxiety-provoking experience, we turn students away.

The best way to learn math facts is to through mathematical activities that focus understanding number relationships.

This authentic understanding is best achieved through taking the time to think deeply about number strategies. which takes time.

Yet, many people believe that mathematics is only about calculating -- and that the best mathematics thinkers are those who can calculate the fastest.

In truth, skilled mathematicians are often slow with math, because they take the time to think carefully and deeply about mathematics.

We need our students to become powerful thinkers
who can make connections, think logically, and solve complex problems.

To achieve this goal, we must shift the focus of math education away rapid calculation and towards deep mathematical thinking and understanding

This movement in education reform is gaining momentum and your input helps. Please join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments.

Our Mission: MashUp Math is our creative solution to reviving students' passion and interest for learning mathematics. As young educators, we know that all students learn math differently and that a one-size-fits-all approach is simply ineffective. The idea that the ability to understand mathematics is reserved for a select few did not sit well with us.

In addition to sharing free teacher resources (which are teacher created resources) in the form of teacher worksheets, we share new YouTube math videos every week that help math teachers and students to better understand mathematics and the common core. Our lessons can be aligned with the common core standards for common core math and are immensely popular with flipped learning educators and anyone experimenting with flipped classroom learning.

As educators, we know what it takes to be a super math teacher and that we can’t always do it alone. In addition to our cool math videos, we share articles, blogs, inspirational quotes, teacher math worksheets, and math worksheets.

Many of our users serve as a special education teacher and use our cool videos to support their special education students with special needs. Our free online math lessons are also high adaptable to your homeschool curriculum and should be added to your list of free homeschool resources.

How Does the Earth Create Different Landforms? Crash Course Geography #20 Teacherflix 17 Views • 2 years ago

Cliffs and canyons, beaches and dunes, floodplains and river valleys, plateaus and mountains — these are all products of a restless Earth. In today’s episode we’re going to take a closer look at how landforms greatly influence how people live and derive meaning and a sense of place. From the hills and ponds we see everyday to impressive landscapes like Uluru in Australia or the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia they all have stories to tell.
