ProfPete's Vlog Ep #5: Kids Figure Stuff Out (And What That Means for Math Education)
Channel: Professor Pete's Classroom

As a K-6 teacher, have you noticed how kids seem to be "hard wired" for learning?

I think that as adults we often take the miracle of childhood development for granted. But if you step back, as it were, and watch a young child learning to walk, and talk, and count, you can witness amazing achievements of very young children every day.

To me, this is a powerful argument for teaching math in such a way that the children's natural abilities to make sense of what they are exposed to kick in and support deep, lasting learning.
