(Barton)How students think and learn, 3 things to remember
1) Expert and Novice learners don’t just know different things , they think in a fundamentally different way from each other. 2) Students remember what they attend to , so we should plan lessons and evaluate activities using this principle. 3) Anyone can suffer from maths anxiety.
