Brain Fitness for Success at the College Board Forum 2009

Forum 2009: Education and the American Future
New York City October 21-23, 2009
While students would like relevant content, they often view the classic high school math curriculum (algebra, geometry, trigonometry) as the least applicable topics of their courses. However, quantitative reasoning can improve metacognition (thinking about thinking) and is an excellent way to boost knowledge and skills. Participants will discuss the concept of brain fitness, with special attention to how math can enhance critical thinking, problem solving and confidence. Participants will develop strategies and identify opportunities to implement the brain fitness perspective to foster student commitment and to improve their college access and success.
