Why Are We So Afraid of Creativity? | Literally Psyched, Scientific American Blog Network - 1 views

  • Or another one: teachers have repeatedly been found to dislike students who show curiosity and creative thought, even though creativity is held as an important goal of education.
  • If you’re a student whose teacher constantly thwarts you when you try to do something your own way, you may not have the stamina of M.I.T.’s founders—especially if you come across such resistance at an early age.

MathsYear7 - Jewellery using Mathematics - 0 views

    • Andrew Williamson

For students to link real world concepts to abstract concepts is important for students to engage in their learning. It also links creative thinking in maths. Which in my opinion is what maths is all about.
