    "Below is a set of good iPad apps that you can use with your kids and students to enhance their mathematical thinking. These apps are meant for young learners and are specifically useful when introducing kids to those rudimentary notions of mathematical computations. The purpose of teaching kids to think mathematically, as detailed in Kaye Stacey's paper, is three folds: First, it will allow kids to conduct mathematical investigations by themselves. Second, it will help them acquire other thinking skills particularly problem-solving and as mathematician Paul Halmos (1980) stated, 'problem solving is the heart of mathematics'. Third, it helps kids get a deeper appreciation of mathematics and use it in their daily and working lives."

    There are some ideas which seem to translate nicely into fields of thought far from their point of origin. These are  ideas which shine a metaphorical light on concepts and allow us to develop a deeper understanding of that concept once we see it from a fresh perspective. Schrödinger's Cat is one such idea.

  • This is one of the keys to judging student learning of the future because if individuals, like Daniel Pink, are correct and the future belongs to pattern-seekers, it is imperative that students are capable of seeing these connections across all disciplines.
  • Beyond these activities it is important that students ask themselves the following questions: What are the foundational elements of this topic? What caused people to begin exploring this topic? How has this topic been altered over the course of time? How will this topic change over the course of the next fifty years? What other ideas from the outside can be integrated into this topic in the future to make it better? Using the answers to the questions above, what qualities can I take from this topic to prompt deeper thinking about other areas of life that interest me? Instead of collecting the “assessment”, what would happen if you collected student answers to these questions instead?

  • A special advisory group is expected to propose a new blueprint by February, based on such input as a tough-talking missive from the Toronto District School Board that called the curriculum "a series of overly robust subject-based documents which are disconnected, overwhelming and full of content reflective of 20th century knowledge. "The curriculum does not engage students within their own realities, nor does it integrate the skills society hopes to see in a 21st-century learner," said the recent submission by a group of principals, teachers, superintendents and trustees.
  • Karen Grose, the board's system superintendent, said it no longer makes sense to try to cram piles of facts into young minds.
  • Our kids live in a world where they are immersed in content through things like Twitter and Google, so we don't want them memorizing facts they can access easily, but we want them to think about how to apply that knowledge, and how it affects how they live as citizens and workers," said Grose

  • "School shouldn't be just about `covering' content, but about giving students the time to practise what they've learned and gaining a deeper understanding," said Wynne.
