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

High school math teachers .... what are the most common gaps you find in your students' math foundation?


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 challenge of teaching math is to guide each child deep deep into the perfect balance of beauty, precision, pleasure, stretching, mastery, certainty, wonder, agility, joy.

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


I would love to see a study looking at the role of ultra processed food in student learning and mental health. Does anyone know of any research in this area? #wholefoods


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…

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-a…
