GOALS OF THIS SEGMENT:
- Introduce a brain-based educational model of math by identifying three basic neural codes which format numbers in the brain.
- Explore the role of three primary neurocognitive processes, with respect to math problem-solving ability.
- Provide an attached summary of:
- Neurological processes with associated math skills
- Math implications related to cognitive processing challenges
- Suggested interventions
(Information acquired from Feifer (2019) and Taylor (2018) workshop presentations.)
This is a great introductory video to neuroscience. Understanding how the brain works can help students tap into their metacognition and be more successful learners.

My Jelly Brain is suitable for children aged 3 to 8 years. It is a read-aloud for the younger children however the older children could read this independently. My Jelly Brain is a teaching tool used to meet many of the Department of Education curriculum teaching outcomes (here in Nova Scotia) in multiple subjects up to and including grade 3. Although I expect that the educational curriculum may vary slightly from province to province, in Nova Scotia the book aligns with...many subjects and outcomes."
