Sophisticated medical instruments have provided a unique glimpse into the learning brain. Teachers can take the knowledge and apply it to teaching in theirclassrooms. With the advantage of brain research, instructional techniques that facilitate the brain's innate learning capacity have been able to be developed. The more teachers know about how the brain learns, the more instructionaloptions they have. Brain-Compatible Activities for Mathematics, Grades K-1 provides ready-to-use, brain-compatible lessons for mathematics instruction. Each step-by-step lesson includes detailed instructions for the teacher, math activities, and all the necessary reproducibles. Correlated with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' standards and Focal Points, this classroom resource shows teachers how to apply the principles discussed in Sousa's bestseller, How the Brain Learns Mathematics.
