This Is Your Brain on Math: The Science Behind Culturally Responsive Instruction

ED Surge

Brain science research is increasingly bolstering the idea that math instruction rooted in culturally relevant problem-solving helps students draw from their lived experiences and activates distinct areas of the brain, producing durable and deep learning.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

But actual evolution seems more like deep learning with a large neural net—where one’s effectively operating in an extremely high-dimensional space where there’s typically always a “way to get there from here”, at least given enough time. And indeed simple models of evolution might give one the intuition that this would happen.

The Making of A New Kind of Science

After “ Field theory (physics) ” comes “ Fields (agricultural) ”, followed by “ Fifths (musical chords) ” and so on: &#10005. And although the details are more complicated, the whole notion of deep learning in neural nets can also be thought of as related.
