Questioning my Metacognition

Anyone who has taught or tutored math - or who has simply been a mathematics student themselves - will recognize that one of the biggest challenges to learning mathematics is the prevalence of math anxiety. Children and adults alike often believe that they are bad at math. Graham Fletcher is one of many educators who is working to change the way that math is taught and alleviate this anxiety. On his blog Questioning My Metacognition, Fletcher, an elementary school math educator with over 10 years of teaching experience, shares complete lesson plans, instructional videos, and resources. Fletcher emphasizes creative, hands on instructional activities that promote metacognition - the ability to recognize and reflect on one's own problem solving process. These kinds of activities are designed to combat the myth that one is "good" or "bad" at math and instead help students develop and recognize their critical thinking skills. Fletcher's instructional videos and lesson plan ideas can easily be incorporated into math classrooms, adult education programs, or tutoring sessions.
