Hi everyone! Today I want to share with you this interesting video. In this video you can discover what is maths anxiety. Researchers prove that about 20 percent of the population suffers from it, so you should know more about it!

Musical intelligences

Today I want to share with you different songs to teach or to consolidate mathematical contents such us the classification of the triangles. As we have seen in other posts, we have to cope with the multiple intelligences that we find in our classes. Therefore, we can use these songs to cope with the musical intelligences. Moreover, it is a useful way to reinforce the contents developed in the class, because students can repeat the songs many times while they are singing.

Sweet maths

Today, I want to share with you this video. If you want to discover a new way of teaching maths, watch it! In this video you can watch a creative way of teaching equal fractions by physically moving and touching pieces of chocolate. Moreover, you can also use this method to teach simplifying fractions. As teachers, we have to look for alternatives in order to catch students' attention; and I believe that in this video the speaker shows us a great idea to do it.

Today I'm going to show you this video because I found this very interesting in order to change the traditional teaching approach of mathematics.  In this video, the speaker proposes us that we can change the way in which we teach maths.  We can teach maths without words, only using visual information.  As everybody know, there is not only one type of intelligence. Howard Gardner is the author of the Multiple Intelligences theory,  which has revolutionized our definition of intelligence. Nowadays, and according with this theory, we do not believe on the idea of a single intelligence.  There are multiple types of human intelligence, and each representing different ways of processing information: Verbal-linguistic intelligence Logical-mathematical intelligence  Visual-spatial intelligence Musical intelligence  Naturalistic intelligence  Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence Intrapersonal intelligence This means that some people learn better using visual resources such
