The first in series on problem solving strategies - a technique called Lateral Thinking that can be used to solve problems in a creative way by challenging assumptions. This technique can be applied to almost any problem that you come across in life, work and school.

I've been working on new content - Math and Science in History and Problem Solving Strategies. These will end up in classrooms but for now I'll drop them in the feed. This one goes out to Evan. I hope it makes sense and is interesting

Right now this site is running on a platform called Skool which is one of many plug and play options out there that provide community and classroom hosting. I've checked out a few and this one seemed the most straightforward and simple to use. I'm pretty new to using it as are you, so if you have any feedback or questions re: the site drop it here. Thanks!

Happy to see you here! Drop a reply down below to say hi and introduce yourself. I'll start. I'm Ian and my 10yo daughter said she wanted to be a scientist but she hates math. I said, that's fine if you don't like it, but give me a chance to show you what it really is before you decide. Six months later she's coming up with conjectures and asking me to explain calculus to her. So i thought I'd start a community to help others see that math and science are about fun, creativity and curiosity.
