Pass It On Education Tools: Most People Are Bad At Math---> They Are Convinced...But Need Not Be!

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
Math teachers, parents, and educators of all stripes will likely benefit from reading the article below...and its follow-up, the article below that!  The first begins by pointing out how unlikely it is to announce publicly that one is illiterate, yet how common it is for folks to self-proclaim themselves to be terrible at math!  Why is this so?  Is it a self-fulfilling prophecy for many young people?  A cop-out?

Way beyond addressing this phenomena, the first article introduces a free curriculum called Jump Math---used in England and Canada---that many are accessing now for free.  You can too!  It is getting a load of attention for its apparent effectiveness. 

In fact, so many folks responded to the first article that a second follow-up piece appeared a few days later.  Both have very valuable information in them!
