Doing It for the High

For decades now, I've had a consistent gym routine. And, being middle-aged, I am now surrounded by peers and colleagues who want to know how one maintains a consistent gym routine in middle age.

My answer: I exercise for the high.

Not for better health. Not to look better in my jeans. Not to keep up with my students. Not because my doctor says concerning nickel words like "cholesterol" or "osteoporosis." I exercise for one reason only, and that reason is the dopamine.

I have also started doing math for the high.

Specifically: I ordered a set of unit blocks/rods. The ones that come in ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands.

I ordered them because I suck at decimals, and I figured they'd come in handy when trying to deal with those. I started using them for basic addition and subtraction, however, because the Maths-No Problem series encourages students to use them when reviewing at the top of each new lesson.

These books with their cute cartoon children haven't failed me yet. So okay, cute cartoon kids. I'll try the blocks.

And y'all, these little bricks are intensely satisfying to use.

They feel nice. They make cool clicky noises when they bump each other. They sort into neat little countable piles. The ones, tens, and hundreds are different colors, so my brain always knows which column we're in. I can count up to ten in any one pile and trade it in for the next pile up, which is way more satisfying than "carrying the one."

Every moment with these is a tiny dopamine hit. And that's hugely important.

We've known for years that dopamine production plays a key role in learning, though we haven't always understood why. Does dopamine provide motivation? Does it drive formation of neural pathways? Maybe both? It's also doing something in our working memory (a notorious weakness in dyscalculia and ADHD, among others), but what?

As an ADHDer, I already live with a deficit of dopamine in the anterior cingulate cortex - leading to issues with working memory, attention, focus, reward-based motivation, and a host of other ills. On top of that, I started associating math with drudgery, anxiety, and stress at the age of five.

The brain pathways that tell me "numbers are misery, don't try" are well worn in. But those pathways led me where I am today - barely numerate enough to function as an adult. I need new routes.

Fun plastic clicky unit blocks are building those new routes. So heck yes, I'm playing with them. Every math learner should. Make the brain associate math with happy. Do it for the high.

Đồ chơi chuẩn Mỹ đảm bảo chất lượng và an toàn sức khỏe cho bé

Các đồ chơi của các thương hiệu hàng đầu từ Mỹ như: Learning Resources, Hand2mind, Educational Insights,.. đều trải qua những giai đoạn thử nghiệm và kiểm tra chất lượng vô cùng nghiêm ngặt. Với từng độ tuổi, thiết kế của sản phẩm cũng sẽ thay đổi để tránh trường hợp trẻ nhỏ có phải nuốt phải các vật thể nhỏ. 

Bên cạnh đó, nếu những đồ chơi của Trung Quốc thường làm từ những chất liệu kém chất lượng như nhựa tái chế và có hàm lượng chì lớn, các sản phẩm đồ chơi chuẩn Mỹ thường được làm từ nhựa nguyên sinh. Các đồ chơi thủ công như đất sét, màu vẽ sẽ sử dụng nguyên liệu chính là bột mì và màu thực vật, khi trẻ vấy bẩn ra tay hay quần áo đều vô cùng an toàn và dễ dàng rửa sạch.

Sự an toàn cũng chính là một trong những yếu tố khiến đồ chơi chuẩn Mỹ nổi bật trên thị trường bởi bất cứ bố mẹ nào cũng muốn con được vui chơi theo cách an toàn và khỏe mạnh nhất.

As soon as the @hand2mindinc Moving Creations with Knex package arrived my boys were begging to start building. They quickly started with the first project and moved on to the more complex builds. This kit teaches kids about pneumatics and hydraulics while they build rocket launchers, submarines, and dump trucks. It features 9 different builds and 18 STEM experiments. The instructions were clear and easy to understand and there were also experiment pages to record findings and ask questions after each build. My boys were entertained for hours and played with it again the following day. They are already using the concepts to create their own moving creations! #azmoms #azinfluencer #scottsdalemoms #scottsdalekids #phoenixmoms #phoenixkids #momfluencer #creativekids #kidsactivitiesathome #sciencekids #scienceforkids #kidsscience #kidsscienceexperiments #stemkids #stemforkids #stemforkidsfamily #stemeducation #stemactivitiesforkids #knex #hand2mind #brilliantmindsmember #ad https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cHuagnW4f/?igshid=1h5bj7ntbihb8

Having looked at some of the existing products used to help people with dyslexia read, i have realised that most of the learning aids have been designed for children and for an educational purpose, so there is a massive gap in the market for reading for leisure and things that people would actually want to use when they are in public or a library for example and they might not be successful for use in the home either.

This means that the idea for my product might be something people would look for. To ensure this, i will create a survey for people with dyslexia to see their opinions.
