> “I encourage math teachers I talk to to use multimedia, because it brings the real world into your classroom in high resolution and full color; to encourage student intuition for that level playing field; to ask the shortest question you possibly can and let those more specific questions come out in conversation; to let students build the problem, because Einstein said so; and to finally, in total, just be less helpful, because the textbook is helping you in all the wrong ways: It’s buying you out of your obligation, for patient problem solving and math reasoning, to be less helpful.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
My teachers recognized that I lacked internal motivation, but they never really addressed it. _ https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/User:LucasVB\/Gallery\u00a0\u00a0 This is incredible! Such an amazing asset for thinking. I wish we had tools like this when we were kids.
