Blog reflection on flow in the secondary math class for Monday Nov 18, 9 AM

 


Hi all! As a follow-up to our exploration of 'flow' , please write a short blog post reflecting on the film we saw in class on Monday: Mihalyi Czikszentmihalyi's TED talk on 'flow' and happiness.

In your post, please reflect on what you take away from this talk and the idea of 'flow':

Have you experienced a state of flow through certain experiences? What prompts it? Is it sometimes connected with mathematical experiences?

Is it possible to achieve a state of flow in secondary math classes? Can we, as teachers, help create the conditions for a flow state for our students as they learn math? If so, how -- and if not, why not?

Looking forward to reading your blog posts, and to following up with more on flow states and ideas about The Thinking Classroom!
