  My System One Is 4 Every 1
Posted by: John Nicholson - 27-05-2010, 12:12 AM - Forum: John Nicholson - Replies (3)

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="6"]

WHAT IS SYSTEM ONE

SYSTEM ONE

4 EVERY 1

IT SAYS EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS

1ST POINT

Any human child in normal health able to see the number “1” and say one who can also see and say “a” can be taught to count and read perfectly.
[/SIZE] [/COLOR]
[SIZE="6"]The majority of us (modern human beings) cannot remember how we were taught to count and read ourselves therefore one standard system fits every child born for every parent to use, after taking only a few hours for demonstration and practice.

THE START

What difference will neuroscience make to our teaching in the future?

A combination of neuroscience common sense and a standard systematic method will take early learning into the twenty first century !

Claims Farmer John, an East Yorkshire farmer

John Nicholson a farmer whose business credibility was destroyed after Unilever and the Midland Bank combined illegally for their own interests to place his seven hundred acre farm and three thousand sow breeding herd into receivership.

Mr Nicholson anger at this unjustified action lead him to clearly understand the lack of individual justice that millions of human beings have to suffer, simply through the multitudes of unfair situations created by people in power, acting without regard to the consequences of their actions regarding those people they seek to control.

John Nicholson sees clearly the need for democracy and fair treatment as regards those with and without any chance of controlling their individual lives. He sees lack of individual ability in using basic skills as the largest problem the world faces in regards building a fairer world. He believes that natural awareness of the simplicity in following a proven method will eventually be built into every home and every school his System one is 4 every 1

Clearly chance, plays the biggest part in everyone’s life, no one ever asked to be born.
Within our human society we are virtually all dependent on each other. Just look at everything you see and need in your daily life how much have you created or designed yourself. We are clearly all dependent on each other. As you read this, your mind is taking the individual ideas created by each word and building a mental picture of my life, your own life and the life of every one on earth, or (it should be) if it is not clearly you are without imagination which unfortunately most of us are, the only time we are really using our imagination naturally is when our subconscious mind take` s the ideas we encounter in our daily lives and builds them into visual images which we call dreams. Our individual mental preparation, quite naturally occurring, to prepare us for the unexpected situations we all eventually come across. Of course, our individual dreams are only relative to ourselves.

Our subconscious minds abilities are best illustrated by the use of the specific language we use without preparation to describe just what we are thinking at any particular point in time.

Teaching the Brain

Neuro science has discovered provable evidence relating to the natural abilities of children’s mental capacity in building memory, obviously the capacity of children to copy sound and build their language ability is clear to everyone. But what we are not clearly aware of, is the capacity that children have to follow physical procedures simply by watching and doing, utilising mirror neurons and the earliest evolutionary brain function utilised in the earliest of life forms.

Our brains are our species brains, developed over millions or more probably billions of life forming years but taking the provable evidence of everyone alive today being related directly to a lady in Africa over 200 thousand years means that over one million generations have taken place since that provable point.

Clearly our brain function capacity in normal health means that we are all in possession of the most advanced state of mental development capability of any known creature.

Statistically, we are all born with the same capacity in good health, survival of the fittest resulting in our species survival.

The brain has an inbuilt capacity to remember a great many things permanently, these memories depending on their relevance ranging from what it has seen or heard sometimes for only seconds in our conscious minds, but quite natural memory occurs without our consciousness awareness. Without any personal awareness our natural memories of some things are stored in perfection without any consciousness awareness whatsoever.

How are we able to study our subconscious mind when we are not even aware of its existence? This is the oldest philosophical question man has ever encountered in recordable history. We stumble across ideas in relation to understanding brain function only by reading widely and thinking to the point continually have I been able to develop system one.

My advice to anyone studying philosophy is simple, short cut the study of philosophy follow my habit of a lifetime and only read what the great thinkers have said themselves, their statements are so clear as to need no interpretation. I have learned more from those ancient and modern thinkers than any of the majority of the forty thousand neuro scientists apart from a hand full the likes of Stanilas Deahane.

Within any theory most probably totally non provable there maybe some truth. Our human search for clearer understanding will never cease as far as human thinking and the physical properties of the human brain are concerned. Just like the dimensions and extent of space these two massive unknowns will most likely forever haunt or academic world.

After allowing you to look over the abyss of ignorance concerning mind and matter that is presented to each and every one of us, I need to bring your mind back to the reality of just what we do know and just what is possible, as far as teaching every child efficiently, to count and read quickly and easily.[/SIZE]

  Vorderman to the rescue Of Parents and Kids' Maths
Posted by: Newsroom - 26-05-2010, 02:14 PM - Forum: Live from the Classroom - No Replies

Research has shown that studying maths can be a source of confusion and anxiety for many children. It can also prove stressful for parents, as many are reminded of their own struggles with maths and feel lost when trying to tackle it again years later.

With teaching methods often very different from when parents were at school, and many dependent on calculators or computers to do arithmetic, adults can lack confidence in assisting their children with even simple sums and in desperation are spending thousands of pounds a year on private tuition.

A recent survey showed that over ½ of parents feel uneasy about new basic methods of arithmetic being taught in primary schools *.

Help is at hand with Help Your Kids With Maths, a unique step-by-step visual guide to maths created with Carol Vorderman, one of the UK’s best loved TV personalities, fresh from the launch of her online maths school http://www.themathsfactor.com Aimed at reducing the stress of studying maths and helping your child with their homework, this unique visual guide will demystify the subject for everyone. With clear, accessible pictures, diagrams and easy-to-follow step-by-steps, this book covers everything from basic numeracy to more challenging subjects like statistics and algebra, helping parents to approach even the most complex maths problems with confidence.

Carol says, “I want children to grow up with a love of numbers, not a fear. As a mother myself, I understand how parents feel about supporting their children’s education, and this book makes maths an accessible and enjoyable subject for the whole family.”

Divided into seven chapters, Help Your Kids With Maths is a user-friendly maths tutor, and breaks down the subject for even the most maths-phobic person.

Key features include:
• Explains maths visually with clear, accessible graphics that allow easy understanding of the subject, enabling the reader to work through each problem painlessly.
• ‘Real World’ panels relate mathematical concepts to real life, so struggling students can identify a subject with something familiar and exciting.
• Every aspect of maths, from simple sums to simultaneous equations, is broken down into idiot-proof, step-by-step instructions with an alternative included where appropriate.
• Cross-references located throughout the text explain the links between mathematical concepts.
