Problem of the Week #9

 All problems are now on my new site: https://cognitivecardiomath.com/free-resource-center/

It's 2016. That blows my mind. So many new ideas to think about, so many new things to try, so many hopes for the year! I hope the year will be good for you all!

Have a great Monday!

According to the authors, differentiation is brain-friendly and brain-compatible! They describe the rise, fall, and rise of differentiation, starting with the one-room schoolhouses, where teachers taught all subjects to all students, of all ages, and HAD to differentiate - there was no other way! As the country's population grew, public schools grew, and students were separat...
