Earlier this month at Truesdell Elementary, in the last five minutes of one of my classes, I called for my students' attention. Class, class! I called. Yes, yes, they responded in unison. I have a recognition to make. I held up one of my fourth grade students perspective drawings and projected it for the class to see. His carefully rendered parallel, vertical and diagonal lines converging at the vanishing point created a stunning visual.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Lets be realkeeping kids engaged in STEM can sometimes feel like trying to catch a greased-up pig at a county fair. When our STEM team first started in 2017, the kids didn’t know what an engineer was. Carrying out a STEM lesson in our community was very difficult. Many of the students were considered English Language Learners. It took us many years and testing, trying, reflecting, and re-teaching to get STEM to be the kids favorite part of their week.

In this video, I cover the difference between a Prime and a Composite number. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. In other words, it can only be divided by 1 and itself without leaving a remainder. Examples of prime numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13. A composite number is a natural number greater than 1 that has more than two positive divisors.
