Research shows younger children are better equipped to learn a foreign language than high school kids. Research also shows students benefit when multiple strategies of instruction are utilized. So, the above strategy can be beneficial to expose students to, but to say "it's the only way" is short sighted.<br /><br />The joke wasn't unexpected, so whatever lolz.

(Meaning it's you...With all due respect, Peter. (Meaning it's your blog.) Rote learning or memorization has its place ALONG with order and synthesis. By order I mean grouping. In the clip the instructor expects that the student has memorized base 10. Now they group the numbers and synthesize, or put it all together. This is utilizing higher order thinking, rather than just memorizing the addition facts. If we could watch the brain through this process, neurons are firing and creating new pathways. Thus building thinkers. <br /><br />Children at play naturally use this process to some extent and is why play is so important. Memorization has its place and has not been removed from schools. It's just not the main focus as it was in prior centuries. If I understood your comment, you believe critical thinking shouldn't be introduced until puberty?? <br /><br />As for your math problem in your original post, most textbooks come out of Texas. Meaning I've seen some word problems pretty close to as politically incorrect as yours. Yes, I know what you think of the phrase "politically incorrect."Susnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-71915437619991454032014-09-07T11:43:11.763-04:002014-09-07T11:43:11.763-04:00OT
