Math Pickle - Problem Solving at the Heart of Quality Mathematics Education

Math Pickle - Problem Solving at the Heart of Quality Mathematics Education | Math, Technology and UDL:  Closing the Achievement Gap | Scoop.it

Math Pickle brings challenges and support to every learner in the math class. Dr. Gordon Hamilton proposes that elementary math be abolished and to replace it with problem solving that he sees is at the heart of quality math education.  With the use of video, problems are proposed for every grade level along with a set of teacher resources. 

 

Here is a testimonial that describes what students experienced with math with Dr. Gord.    


"Dr. Gord worked full time with us for three years. In reflecting on what he brought to our school, I think of the joy the students experienced in working with him. He met groups of students with a wide range of abilities, but he never “watered down” a single challenging thought. Struggling students thrived and those who wanted the most difficult challenges were not disappointed. He teaches the way children learn – through inquiry and tenacious, self-directed thinking!
When it comes to innovative approaches to teaching and learning, Dr. Gord is exemplary."

Learn about the innovative language-independent ST Math software developed by the MIND Research Institute that uses a visual approach to teach math concepts.

 

"Born out of decades of breakthrough neuroscience and education research, MIND's Education Division deploys its distinctive visual approach through innovative instructional software, textbooks, and professional development for the K-12 math market. MIND's unique math education process engages the learner's spatial temporal reasoning abilities to explain, understand, and solve multi-step problems."

 

Some of the benefits from the MIND Program includes:

 

> Innovative visual approach teaches math concepts
> Comprehensive courseware aligns to state standards
> Game metaphor engages students who have struggled with conventional approaches in math and learning
> Language-independent software lessons reduce the language barrier to learning math
> Instructional design reaches students at every level of academic proficiency
> Innovative games train students in multi-step problem-solving
