➡️ To support working memory and managing cognitive load, watch me demonstrate two versions of this maths equation and see if you can spot the difference!

I am a big fan of non-verbal signals in the classroom; inspired by the work of Kendall Zoller: The Choreography of Presenting and a conference we shared together in Basel, Switzerland (March, 2019)
