Changing+paradigm+in+math+education

Assumptions in the current classroom: 1. Everyone learns the same way 2. If the teacher cares, the students will care as well. 3. If students sit quietly and listen to the lesson, they will learn. 4. It is the students responsibility to learn solely. 5. The teachers responsibility is to deliver set information to the students. ( interesting video from Mr. Grimes 1947 on YouTube)

Changing paradigms: 1. Make lessons available to students to review when needed 2. Give and take with students, info comes from all 3. Make math relevant, show how will be used in real life 4. Students need to discuss info together, move around, become more responsible for their own learning
