The Analogue Brain and Maths

      

To really understand Towermaths and its development we have to take a closer look at the brain.

Why? Because it is in the brain that LEARNING takes place.

In fact: Learning is GROWING the brain.

   The brain is an ANALOG system. Compare two clocks.

The ANALOG clock shows two pointers showing hours and minutes. To the ANALOG brain the PRESENT does exist: It could be one hour or one minute or one day or even one week/month or year depending on its context

A SENSE of the PRESENT is ESSENTIAL for LEARNING!

The DIGITAL clock shows only hour/minutes as it exists in an INSTANCE in TIME. The PRESENT does not exist. The future FLOWS across the LINE of TIME to become the past INSTANTLY.

WITHOUT a PRESENT LEARNING is IMPOSSIBLE. It has to be DESIGNED into the DIGITAL SYSTEM at great cost and complexity.

A sixteen-year-old ANALOG system drives a car.

A DIGITAL system to drive a car is being developed at a cost of BILLIONS of dollars and is still NOT as SAFE as the sixteen-year-old.

Neuro Plasticity

  Each person exists of about 600 billion cells that are built out of 100 000 different proteins. STEM cells are the WAREHOUSE that holds the content of EVERY one of the different cells that make up our body-functions like liver, heart, bones, kidneys, and the BRAIN. The act of THINKING transforms STEM cells into BRAIN cells called NEURONS. There are two stages of neuron growth: * Infant to individual neurons. This stage takes 20 days.    This represents working and short-term memory.    Unless these NEURONS are continuously ACTIVATED by the ACTION    of THINKING they DIE.   * Individual neurons to Network-neurons that are fully INTEGRATED   into the PRESENT NEURON NETWORK. This represents    PERMANENT or UNCONCIOUS (AUTOMATIC or PROGRAMMED)    MEMORY.   Driving your car happens AUTOMATICALLY unless something   unforeseen (unusual) happens. Like a dog running in front of the car.   ACTION is part of THINKING and LEARNING. Think of learning to play tennis o

POOGI

Once   Dr. Goldratt , the founder of the   Theory of Constraints , was challenged by an aggressive reporter to " summarize TOC in a single sentence ." Eli replied: " never mind a sentence, I'll explain in one single word: FOCUS! " Eli's   Five Focusing Steps , also known as the   Process of On-Going Improvement   or POOGI for short, serve as guideposts for driving on-going improvement. https://www.tocinstitute.org/ https://www.toc-goldratt.com/en/product/TOC-Insights

Play and Failing forward in learning Mathematics

  Play The most productive way to LEARN is through PLAY. The attention span of a pre-school and Foundation Phase learner involved in ROOT learning is 10 min. The attention span of pre-school learner involved in PLAY learning is HOURS. Failing Forward Much (most) of LEARNING is through FAILING with IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK. Learning to walk is the best example. If you and I had been spanked every time we failed to walk (fall) we would NEVER have LEARNED to walk. Failing Forward should not be confused with BUMBLING BACKWARDS. The key to FAILING FORWARD is IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK. Just think of only finding out that your ball was hit outside the line an hour AFTER you played the shot. Obviously, you can not learn to play tennis this way. BUT this is what we do when learning MATHEMATICS. In Afrikaans, praat ons van Slim Gesukkel.   Mathematics is the single most important skill for future employment opportunities. ALL normal FOUNDATION PHASE learners can ENJOY learning mathematics and S
