- he right brain is where lateral thinking occurs: problem solving / estimation / comparison / spatial reasoning / overall “big picture” thinking.
- The left brain can calculate numbers, but the right brain tells you HOW to solve the problem
- The right brain learns BEST by sensory experience and physical activity – exploring concrete materials with color, texture, weight, size, sound, smell, even taste!
- Children NEED time to play – connecting materials and ideas before they can attend to abstract mathematical concepts. Yet, conventional methods teach math by memorization and repetition – left-brained tasks such as timed tests, flash cards, and redundant homework.
- The IEM curriculum gives children a wealth of concrete experiences, along with colorful and stimulating educational activities.
- IEM programs are uniquely suited to the way young children learn math!
