Talking or drawing aloud

People who talk out loud to think through their maths problems are able to solve them faster and have more chance of getting the right answer, research in educational psychology has found. The research, published in he Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, found that discussing problems was a smart way to learn. Also, that drawing or making a pictorial representation relating to the problem contributed to its solution. In short, talking aloud or drawing the problems is closely related to the success in problems solution. The findings may fly in the face of old-fashioned theory of problem-solving in silence; classrooms should be full of noise of students tackling their problems out loud. So learning and teaching maths, then, could learn from design ideation and the studio experience!
