"Nothing is ever black or white. The opportunity is hidden in the grey matter." - Lawrence Jones MBE (Founder & CEO, UKFast)
At AAIS, at the core of our belief lies the understanding that experiences shape one's learning and we have our students engage with carefully curated learning experiences.It is these experiences that stretches one's imagination, develops lateral thinking, grows emotional balance, builds rationality, expands compassion and much more. And, interestingly, all of these stem from the brain!
The journey of exploring the brain and its functions have always been exciting and mysterious, as we seek to know and understand matters related to the 'grey matter'.
Here is an intriguing, exciting, deep and deliberate dialogue that you must tune into. Mark your calendar: Sunday, 27th September | 5 PM | Akshar Arbol YouTube channel live
With Dr Lavanya Rajagopalan (Science Writer & Arts Educator)
Whether you
are a student struggling to fulfill a math or science requirement, or you are
embarking on a career change that requires a higher level of math competency, A
Mind for Numbers offers the tools you need to get a better grasp of that
intimidating but inescapable field. Engineering professor Barbara Oakley knows
firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. She flunked her way through high
school math and science courses, before enlisting in the army immediately after
graduation. When she saw how her lack of mathematical and technical savvy
severely limited her options—both to rise in the military and to explore other
careers—she returned to school with a newfound determination to re-tool her
brain to master the very subjects that had given her so much trouble throughout
her entire life.
In A Mind
for Numbers, Dr. Oakley lets us in on the secrets to effectively learning math
and science—secrets that even dedicated and successful students wish they’d
known earlier. Contrary to popular belief, math requires creative, as well as
analytical, thinking. Most people think that there’s only one way to do a
problem, when in actuality, there are often a number of different solutions—you
just need the creativity to see them. For example, there are more than three
hundred different known proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. In short, studying a
problem in a laser-focused way until you reach a solution is not an effective
way to learn math. Rather, it involves taking the time to step away from a
problem and allow the more relaxed and creative part of the brain to take over.
A Mind for Numbers shows us that we all have what it takes to excel in math,
and learning it is not as painful as some might think!

Most of us
treat conversation as a combating sport where we are always on our toes to
interrupt to express our superior knowledge. We listen to reply than to
understand.
But how can
we change this? How can we be good listeners instead of thinking what to say
next?
Watch Dr.
Sahni illustrate 3 effective tips for becoming a good listener in this short
video.
