Part 1 of 7 ‘Maths is only hard when taught incorrectly’ (Video ‘2 ladders’ 🪜 🪜)


🧠+💜 Maths is only hard when taught incorrectly
Have you ever wondered why some students struggle with maths, even though they are undoubtedly bright?
The answer might surprise you – it’s not the students, but the teaching methods.
In this video, I explore the differences between traditional and innovative teaching approaches, providing examples, lesson snippets, scientific insights, and a guide for parents on how to effectively support their kids with maths.
This video is a culmination of over 40 years of my scientific research, exploring the best ways to teach maths.
You don’t need to be a scientist to benefit from these ideas! And I’ll be sharing them with you in simple terms (and with no maths 😉)
The video demonstrates concepts like
🌳The Maths Tree,
🧠Maths Brain-twisters🌀
and
Crossing
💜 THE GREAT MATHS BARRIER 🧠+💜
I use them to illustrate the essence of effective maths teaching; it’s easier to communicate my ideas using these terms.
In Part 1 (2 minutes and 56 seconds) of the video, I introduce “The Maths Tree.”
The whole video (7 parts):
🟣 Will open your eyes to what truly happens in our children’s minds during traditional maths education.
🟣 It explains why schools sometimes fall short in unlocking children’s true maths potential and
🟣 Offers insights into how you can help your child overcome struggles with maths learning.
You can see the whole video here.
Part 2 delves into “Maths Brain-twisters” – the true culprits to enjoyable and obstacles-free maths learning.
Part 3 (and subsequent parts) demonstrate how brain-twisters relate to topics on ‘The Maths Tree’ and when the difficulties for kids’ maths learning actually begin!
Watch the whole video to discover my secret – the essential condition for easy maths learning of every child. I share it towards the end.
The video aims to unleash your power to make a significant impact on your child’s maths journey.
❓What maths topic is your child currently struggling with the most?
❓When you were at school, which aspect of maths (if any) did you find most challenging?
