The post THIS BOY WILL NEVER MAKE OLD BONES by Ira Dawson appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

The author is a a mathematician, former high school and college math teacher, and a teacher of teachers on how to teach math. He may be the only mathematician since the Progressive Education era that began in 1880 to seriously analyze the “lowly” subject of arithmetic and how to teach it.

In his book, Arithmetic Counts. he explains how every textbook-based math program in every elementary school in America is holding children back in math. In writing this book, he hopes to start another round of national math reform like the New Math in the 1960s for high school math teachers, except this time for elementary school teachers to learn how to make arithmetic a success story for all children. 

The author’s breakthrough in how to teach arithmetic came when he experimented with teaching what needs to be understood instead of “known” (memorized) about the subject—like teaching why addition is performed the way it is instead of having children practice thousands of addition problems until the algorithm they are using supposedly becomes cemented in their brains. 

By teaching the essence of arithmetic in sensible ways and appealing to children’s love of games, songs, and movement, he’s proven that virtually ALL children can learn arithmetic—the foundation for algebra, higher mathematics, science, technology, engineering and more, even music! When children understand arithmetic, they own it. It’s no longer just their teacher’s math. It’s their math!

Only a few anecdotes about the author’s grandparents remained after their deaths more than half a century ago. Research of nearly a decade led her to some startling information and the amazing story of the couple’s lives. The author also discovered her grandfather’s remarkable place in history and that neither Reg or Edwina were ordinary people.

From an early age, Edwina had a decidedly European upbringing, highlighted by a convent education and life in several foreign cities. She and her sisters also enjoyed the upper-crust life of Mrs. Astor’s New York Society and the “four hundred.” By contrast, the early life of her husband, Reg, was characterized by being the son of a Civil War veteran turned preacher with eight children in a small mid-western town. 

Fortune smiled on Reg at the age of sixteen, however, when he became the youngest man to enter and graduate from the United States Naval Academy. His succeeding service in the US Navy brought him into contact with a prominent American inventor. A short time later, he joined the gentleman’s newly formed company as the second of just three employees. 

In a few short years, his intelligence and drive propelled both him and the company into the world’s undisputed leader in the invention and manufacture of navigation instruments, virtually ending the age of the compass. The company’s weapons guidance systems were also an extreme advantage during wartime, and their aircraft instruments made flight possible and greatly facilitated the possible uses of airplanes, ships, submarines and eventually spacecraft. The products invented and developed by this company are still vital to the performance of all these vehicles.

1946 is a story about these two people. But it also chronicles the rapid transformation of a very small company into the ninth largest in America. Along the way, the early history of flight and advances in associated technology is tracked during the first half of the twentieth century. The continual development of the weaponry of war, through two world wars, and the ever increasing devastation these advances caused to humanity is also chronicled. The book also reveals the devastating and highly unusual events that eventually led to the untimely destruction of a family, one that seemed to have had it all.

It is easy to imagine that the combination of the events portrayed in 1946 is the result of the writer’s clever imagination; they are not. This book is a work of narrative nonfiction.
It is also a tribute to two extraordinary people, recognition of their remarkable success and homage to their tragic suffering.

Peter started exploring dyslexia when he was diagnosed at age 23. He has taught himself to read and write and now feels he has the knowledge to help dyslexic sufferers and school teachers. His educational handbook describes procedures for creating neural pathways that could enable sufferers to learn to read and write.

Peter experienced frustration, discrimination, lack of confidence, and poor self-esteem. He overcame all the trials. With sixty years of personal experience, Peter now understands what happened to him and continues to progress.

In his early childhood, he had many negative experiences that caused extreme stress. He started to realise that he was not stupid and that he might even be intelligent. Through determination, he looked for clues that linked every part of his life and formed a complete picture of his dyslexic experience. He used this to compile evidence of his experience with dyslexia and its many traits. However, with the techniques that helped him, he helped others develop neural pathways.

At fifty-five, after purchasing a computer, he wrote a story, fulfilling a lifelong wish. After writing it he found he could read novels, understand the story, its twists and turns, and remember the plot. To date, he has written six unpublished fantasy novels.

At sixty-seven, He was diagnosed as autistic and needed to reassess his dyslexic journey in the light of this diagnosis.

In his seventies, Peter understood his journey had come full circle. He had beneficial knowledge to share with teachers, students, and parents. He used the strategies he developed for himself to help others.
