Our children are afraid of mathematics. When they see a mathematical problem their part of the brain đ§ is active which is active in seeing snake đ or Lizard đ.
Another part of the brain đ§ is shut down which has the potential of problem-solving.
How can we remove anxiety and fear of Mathematics?
In Scotland đ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó ż, In a survey, 58% of people were found đ Mathematics afraid.
It is said that mathematicians are born with special brain.
It is not true.
No one is born with ability of maths.
If we think that some children are good in maths because of special brain or someone is bad in math because his brain is not able to do it.
It is false we all are gifted with the same level of the brain.
It is on us how we use it our brain makes connections of its cells which are called neurons.
When brain connections are created, groups, gradually.
As good are its connections, as good it is learning.
The brain has three types of contentions.
(1)New neurons
(2)2 new neurons connected
(3)re-enforcement:a connection which was gradually being opened you re-enforced it.
The brain has these three types of connections.
If your neurons are well connected you will learn in a very good way.
If your neurons are not well connected you will not be able to learn easily.
Have you estimated the power of your brain?
Our brain accepts challenges it works as much as we use it.
If we don't use it, it becomes useless.
Doctor Nickolas Blasford was when in school his teacher said to his mother that in 20 years of schools history they have not seen a slow learner like him.
Her mother was told that he can't study.
He has a special brain to study.
His teachers refused to teach him.
But in Future, he did P.H.D from Oxford University in Applied Mathematics.
His mother wrote a book named Doctor karaldrag's book "mindset".
REVERSEd A MemoIR
If you can read English you should read this book.
A child should read this book must.
We can know through this book now to make a growth mindset.
He has not to go fixed mindset.
He has to accept challenges.
Fix mindset don't like new things.
A growth mindset grows very much and makes progress.
Don't give Children đ¨đŠđ§đŚ labels đˇ️,
SMART
BRIGHT
GIFTED
CLEVER.
It leads to a fixed đ§ mindset.
These labels are based on old outdated ideas đĄ. Keep the girls đ out of their stem.
On the other side don't label đ them as :
DUMB
LAZY
FOOL
NONE SERIOUS đ.
It makes them more none serious and lazy.
We should praise đ their đ˘ and criticise their đ˘. If they are not doing well,
We should tell them that they need improvement.
Mathematics teachers think that only brilliant students can do it.
Never label đˇ️ them, Judge their work, not them.
We should try to know whether if child đś is improving his educational abilities through the educational process or not.
A Scientist did research and told if solve a problem and did it correctly, your brain đ§ create one connection.
And if you do not succeed to solve a problem, and you tried, again and again, your brain đ§ create more than one connection đś.
We learn from our mistakes. And if we do not make mistakes, we don't learn, our brain đ§ goes towards a fixed mindset.
Belief is power. Everything changes when we believe.
Leave Fixed mindset.
Adopt a learning mindset.
When a child questions: we should not answer him, we should guide him to search for the answer himself.
