New research in Brain Science tells us that the most powerful learning occurs when we use different areas of the brain. When students work with symbols, such as numbers, they are using a different area of the brain than when they work with visual and spatial information, such as an array of dots.

When you get a feedback that makes your day!!
Hi Bina
Thank you so much for the webinar today- I learnt SO much and feel a lot more confident about teaching fractions now.I so wish that I had signed up to do all of the webinars this week! So very valuable.
Before moving to NZ last year I taught in international IB schools with a very similar inquiry approach to teaching and learning. It felt so good to be learning in that way again- truly an inspiration!
Along with teaching, I am a visual thinker and graphic recorder. I took these notes during the workshop today. I hope you like them!
I look forward to more learning with you in July!

The answer is…. YES!

For patients with existing type 2 diabetes, medication requirements can be significantly reduced or in some cases, eliminated, by switching to a plant-based or predominantly plant-based diet, with abundant vegetables, whole grains and fruits.

In addition to improved glycemic control, plant-based dietary patterns also reduce the risk of complications commonly associated with type 2 diabetes such as cardiovascular disease and kidney disease.
