Mr Barton Maths Podcast

Kris Boulton returns to the podcast to discuss atomisation and how it can lead to unstoppable learning for our students. You can access the show-notes here: mrbartonmaths.com/blog/atomisation-kris-boulton Timestamps: Atomization in mathematics education, with a focus on expertise-induced blindness and its impact on students' understanding. (10:57) Breaking down complex processes into simpler steps. (15:12) Teaching methods using a taxonomy of seven concepts (categories, comparative, transformation, fact, and process). (19:40) Categorical concepts, comparatives, and transformations in mathematics. (23:43) Identifying and teaching mathematical "atoms" for better instruction. (29:38) Teaching math concepts by breaking them down into smaller, familiar "atoms" to help students understand and build upon them. (38:18) Simplifying math expressions using factoring and atomization. (44:09) Teaching math concepts by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable "atoms"
