There is an interesting discussion going on in the NCUnschoolers Yahoo Group about http://www.livingmath.netHere's what was said:
Quoted Text
But a right-brained learner is better at math concepts, especially when younger. They tend to gain those math facts later, like around 11-12 years old. In the meantime, they tend to be random learners, and even prefer "harder stuff" (like algebra and geometry) when younger in order to have a context in learning the "easy stuff". In other words, what we are conditioned to believe is the "hard stuff" is easy for them and what we believe to be the "easy stuff" is hard for them.
For those interested, www.livingmath.net is a great site to find interesting living book resources to engage the creative mind in expanding their math concepts and keep their love of math alive.
I will also be talking about the math side of learning for the creative learner at the Love to Learn conference.
