What if #stimming were part of cognition? What would this mean for inclusive instruction? A paper on stimming and thinking I wrote with Dor Abrahamson came out in Educational Psychology Review today! rdcu.be/dNanq

thrilled to come across content about the intersection of #mathematics and #fidget poppers today
One of the most common criticisms of our social media films, other than 'I hate maths', is 'no offence bru, but what use is this?' Sometimes the answer is 'none whatsoever', but in this case it does at least allow grown-ups to play with their toys.

The "Oxford Mathematicians and their Toys" series features a fun set of artifacts to think with. What a charming demonstration of chaotic dynamics #embodiment #math #dynamicalsystems
The professor and the pendulums. We know what will happen when one pendulum swings. But two? 'Oxford Mathematicians and their Toys', episode three, starring @jon_ox (and the pendulums).

💡 We extensively use our bodies for learning, either to store information, represent concepts, interact with concepts, communicate, or even self-regulate and manage emotions. This is particularly important when learning abstract concepts, for example in #mathematics.
