People gain energy in
one of two ways.
1.
Those who prefer extraversion
are energized through action and interaction with others. These students need
to talk and move to think; too much seatwork or listening to lectures drains
their energy, and with it their ability to concentrate.
Strategy: kinesthetic/performance-based, role-play
2.
In contrast, people who
prefer introversion are energized by reflection and solitude. Too much
activity or not enough wait time before they're expected to share their answers
drains them of energy.
Strategy: individual, quiet, writing, reading
Sensing versus intuition
3.
Another set of Jungian
preferences describes our starting point for gathering information. People who
prefer sensing first pay attention to facts, reality, and past
experiences. These students rely on instructions, examples, and hands-on tools
or pictures to shape their understanding of mathematical concepts
Strategy: modeling, rubrics, examples
4.
In contrast, intuitive
types trust their hunches, making leaps to connect different ideas, and
creating analogies. They may need to learn strategies for testing their hunches
or supporting their conclusions. No repetition, orderly, building. Help to
start – let them go at their own pace.
Strategy: vocabulary, graphic organizers
