My Brain Hurts

The brain, not hormones, is
to blame for the inexplicable
behavior of teens.
Short term memory
increases by about thirty
percent during adolescence.
The activities teens invest
their time and energy in
influence what activities
they’ll invest in as adults.
Teens are ruled far more by
their emotions than by logic.

The complex nature of
teaching math is difficult to
describe to someone not in
the world of education…….

This is boring!
“The adolescent brain really does want to
learn more about the world we live in and
less about the student who enters the
classroom to collect the attendance, but it
values novelty and unpredictability.”
(Feinstein, p. 16)
Novelty and surprise can be planned for any
lesson or content! It gives the same release of
dopamine, which brings pleasure, that many
adolescents get from risky behavior or
addictive habits.

Dog Weight
 What is an average dog weight?
Which dogs are above average
weight and which are below average
weight?
 First, we need to know what an
average dog’s weight is.
 Let’s use some different dogs that I
know to see what an average weight
is.
Charlotte and Buddy
 Charlotte is an Australian Cattle
Dog, she is small for her breed and
weighs 34 pounds.
 Buddy is a Vizsla, he is big for his
breed and weighs 62 pounds.
Charlotte and friends
 Charlotte: 34 pounds
 Buddy: 62 pounds
 Rosey (a Wheaton Terrier)
weighs 25 pounds.
 A Boxer she know weighs
60 pounds
 A Dachshund she knows
weighs 15 pounds
 Norman, another ACD,
weighs 50 pounds.
 A Great Dane down the
street weighs 120 lbs.

Solving Linear Inequalities
“Teenagers do
not plot their
unruliness;
they are just
trying to cope
in a school run
and designed
by adults from
an adult
perspective.”

They are so emotional!
• “Educators need to rethink the role of
emotions and acknowledge emotions not
just as a piece of life, but as a critical part of
learning and memory.”
• “An educator’s time is better spent focusing
on a student’s emotional feelings about the
content. It’s difficult for content to override
emotion.”
• “Until the student’s emotional disposition
toward a topic changes, info has little
chance of making it to memory.”
(Feinstein, pgs.56-60)
The Danger of Flaming Hot Cheetos

Tell me a story, Mrs. Marquardt!
“Using narratives to explain mathematical
concepts resonates because it relates to the
structure of stories that children have heard
their whole lives. The presentation of the
information is familiar, evokes positive
memories, and is easy to follow. Studies show
that information presented as stories rates as
more interesting and has higher content recall
than the same information presented in other
types of text or verbal formats (Britton,
2008).”

• “A strong cerebellum is essential for
efficient problem-solving skills and mental
planning. Without regular physical activity,
the teen brain gets the signal that the
neurons in the cerebellum aren’t as
important as neurons in other places and
they are in danger of being pruned.
Without a strong and healthy cerebellum,
that multi-step math problem or essay is
harder to do.” (Feinstein, p. 36)
Boys have a 14% larger cerebellum than
girls. Both benefit from movement, but
boys love to be in motion.
