These fabulous five play a role in learning by receiving signals from the environment and sending information through brain stem and spinal cord the to the brain for interpretation.

What are the five senses?

A memory can only be made if you do this.  After about 20 minutes, students begin to tune out, so take a movement break to increase this.  There are prime learning periods in a day, in a class, when this is at its peak.

What is attenTION

200

These four simple words are a close reading strategy that invites every single student to participate.

What did you notice?

200

This time period during class holds the highest potential for student learning.

What is the first or last part of the class or day?

Can you read these words?  Draws, variation, graphs, if, isolated, known, making, only, often, with, one, points, relation, set, table, value, variables, are, between, consists, continually, corresponding, curves.



If the known relation between the variables consists of a table of corresponding variables, the graph consists only of the corresponding set of isolated points. If the variables are known to vary continuously, one often draws a curve to show the variation.

What is reading comprehension?

200

This kind of memory has seemingly unlimited capacity and is intended for storage of information over a long period of time.

What is long-term memory?
200

Growth or Fixed Mindset?

No matter how much intelligence you have, you can always change it.

What is a growth mindset?

300

An estimated100 billion of these cells are located in the brain.   The transfer of information from one to another forms the basis of brain function.

What are neurons? 

It is estimated that if you took all the neurons in a human brain and connected them end to end, they would stretch around the earth twice!

Learning takes place when you want to learn something, or when you have this.

What is motivaTION?

This  “R” grows dendrites whether or not a problem is solved. Merely the process of trying to solve the problem (rather than only finding the correct solution) accounts for changes in the brain.

Could you answer the questions??

300

The establishment of long-term memory involves a process of physical changes in the structure of these type of brain cells. With repeated practice and use, the efficiency of these cells communicating with one another (synapse), connections increase and tasks become easier.

What are neurons?

300

Growth or Fixed Mindset?

People who are always trying to prove themselves or are sensitive about being wrong or making mistakes.

What is a fixed mindset?

400

Those that "fire together, wire together"; those that get used grow "dendrites".  

What are neurons?



400

A memory is first made through this, using the senses.  It is saved in sensory memory

What is percepTION?

400

When the brain engages is these thinking skills, rather than rote memorization, new neural pathways are formed or strengthened, increasing the likelihood that memories will be made and can later be restored.

What are higher order thinking skills?

400

After asking questions, increasing this will actually lengthen students’ responses, decrease discipline problems in a class, and increase the number of students willing to answer. 

What is wait time?

What is a growth mindset?

500

What is a multisensory?

BUCKET CHALLENGE!

What is differentiaTION?

500

This part of the brain is where powerful emotions linked to memories are stored.



What is the amygdala?

500

What are brain breaks?
