brain training memory problem solving game learning attention education

shared by Kim Ammons on 10 May 13 - No Cached

Instead of teaching specific skills that may only be useful in specific areas, Lumosity targets core cognitive processes that underlie performance in many different areas. These processes include memory, attention and other abilities that are critical in the real world.

Lumosity is an online brain training website that uses games to strengthen such cognitive skills as memory, problem solving, attention, flexibility, speed, and more! It costs to have a subscription, but the few games that are free (including a speed math problem game!) are enormously fun and you can use them to improve and track your progress in those skill areas.

Teachers' gestures boost math learning - 0 views

teachers gestures math learning research education

shared by Kim Ammons on 11 May 13 - No Cached

The problem involved mathematical equivalence (i.e., 4+5+7=__+7), which is known to be critical to later algebraic learning. In the speech-only videos, the instructor simply explains the problem. In the other videos, the instructor uses two hand gestures while speaking, using different hands to refer to the two sides of the equation. Students who learned from the gesture videos performed better on a test given immediately afterward than those who learned from the speech-only video. Another test was given 24 hours later, and the gesture students actually showed improvement in their performance while the speech-only students did not.

A recent study shows that students learn math better when their teacher employs hand gestures in the lessons. Though the study itself was done on a basic addition problem, the idea of using gestures in the classroom could be utilized in higher-level math classes as well.

While not particularly user-friendly creation-wise, it is pretty easy to pick up on what you can do. It has math topics: integers, fractions, concepts, and geometry. Within each, you can choose specific concepts, level of difficulty, and the number of problems. Then, simply send students to the URL, and they can take a fill-in-the blank quiz and see results immediately.

A picture or video is randomly shown or can be searched for and the viewer can pose problems and ask questions. After asking your own question, you can check to see what others have asked. Good site to engage students in mathematics.
