I have set the intro price of my new e-book Dyslexia Cured at $2.99. It contains a wealth of information about how I helped my son transform from severely dyslexic into an outstanding & proficient reader. a.co/d/gYpAzPD

If someone could design a math learning app that unlocks the most useful, challenging, interesting math a given child’s working memory can handle, this would be amazing. Right now we seem to have 2 choices for most kids: fake their grades or fail them.

Most math curriculum designers do not understand how working memory develops in children and how varied working memory capacity is in the population. A child cannot will themselves to have a greater WM than they currently have. This is the great bottleneck in learning math.

NEW: UC San Diego has released a new report documenting a “steep decline in the academic preparedness” of its freshmen.
The number of entering students needing remedial math has exploded from 1/100 to 1/8.
They’ve had to create a second remedial class covering elementary and middle school math skills in addition to the one covering gaps from high school.

Two questions for people who used to find math confusing & overwhelming (no matter how hard you tried) and then broke through this and began to understand math deeply: what turned this around for you? And at what level of math did this happen?

Is there any data on what % of children reach full automaticity with math facts, defined as 40-60 correct answers (not digits) per minute? #mathfacts #automaticity #processingspeed

The rates of neurodevelopmental disorders are rising exponentially.
The cause isn't a change in our genetics.
We must prioritize understanding and protecting the brain health of our children.

Why do most children no longer hold a pencil in a tripod grip? Why did this once-popular way of holding a pencil go out of style, even though many of the alternate grips typically result in difficulty forming legible letters and math symbols with ease? Really curious about this!

The lower insulin gets, the more impossible it becomes for the body to store energy. Love this.

The single greatest flaw in K-12 math education is the focus on word problems that depend on math that the students (and sometimes teachers) have not yet mastered. 1/2

This very common approach is incredibly inefficient. It overwhelms kids' working memories and leads to confusion, frustration, and wide-scale lack of math proficiency. Most kids can't learn that way. 2/2

I find this video quite striking in many ways, and also so nostalgic. I was taught using this exact method at age 5 in Grade 1 at Miss Edgar's School in 1965, about 2 mins away from the school in the video. #matheducation #numbersense youtu.be/ae0McT5WYa8?si=ldQx…

What exactly does it mean when a 10-year old child's STAR math scores are at the advanced 11th-grade level on the STAR benchmark chart but the child had not yet learned high school math? Trying to make sense of this!

Unless I am missing something, it appears to mean the child answered a pre-algebra question correctly, just as a competent 11th grader would have -- but has nothing whatsoever to do with 11th grade math. #learning #edtesting #edchat #math

These logic problems in my new book are the best way I have found to engage an entire class, even if the spread of math levels is enormous. @NielsHoven, @RexRidgeway, @mayak46, @SarahDRasmussen, @NumCog, @sharemath amazon.com/dp/1732737428

If someone were to give me the unlikely assignment of taking a class of thirty children and trying to frustrate and annoy them, ruin their experience of math, and slow down their learning tremendously, I would know exactly how to go about it... janemolnar.com/explain-your-…

This assignment demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how children learn to process math symbols. It is like telling a child to stop every few notes while learning a new piano piece and say the name of the next note instead of playing it. Back and forth, randomly.
