If you have 4 pencils and I have 7 apples, how many pancakes will fit on the roof?
Q. If you have 4 pencils and I have 7 apples, how many pancakes will fit on the roof?
A. Purple, because aliens don’t wear hats.
If this is remotely how you view algebra, or mathematics in general, then we seriously need to talk.
We know that fear and misconception is readily passed down from parent to child.
My mother was terrified of water and didn’t want the same for us, so the first thing she did was hire a swimming coach to make sure we were all strong swimmers and didn’t suffer from the same anxiety around water that she did.
So, put a stop to ‘problems with algebra’, TODAY.
Solving Algebra
TONIGHT, Tuesday 23rd Jan at 8pm UK
Starting from the very beginning - a place 99% of teachers of maths forget to start!
This FREE One Night Training Course is designed to allay fears around all things algebra. All you need is paper, a shred of courage to show up and a pen!
The real problem with algebra is that the people who teach it are naturally good at it, they cannot relate to those who “don’t get it”.
Thankfully, I do not suffer from this condition!
There is no need to book or pay for this course, it is FREE and ZOOM links will be out 45-mins before the start.
Be. There. LIVE
