In the book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell showed the player roster of the 2007 Medicine Hat Tigers Hockey Team (researched by a Canadian psychologist named Roger Barnsley).
Listen to Tony Lazar’s view on how this affects a child’s progress through school:
Tags: children, education, Learning, schoolMost people accept the idea that if you take some exercise, especially aerobic type of exercise, that you can change your state of mind so that you get a heightened sense of well-being.
But that fact is that all motion creates emotion, all movement creates emotion and the focus of this article is to highlight this point and its relevance to children’s education.
Movement is such an important thing, especially for children, and we all know that children are continually in motion, they are always moving around, they are always doing things. Moving is their natural state of being and they are at their happiest when able to move.

Times tables are one of those things which everyone has to learn. Tables are traditionally things that have been learnt a certain way over the years.
People know they can learn their tables, but these are taught to us in a rote fashion, and to get them right takes a long time and a lot of effort.This means learning multiplication tables is slow, unproductive, and involves too much thinking, as we are taught them in a linear fashion.
For example schools still teach times tables by getting children to read or say them out loud repeatedly, or using some another form of repetition such as this:
1 x 2 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
3 x 2 = 6
This is rote learning and there is a much better and far easier way for your children to learn the tables! How?
