About

Have you ever wondered why students too often have only a rudimentary understanding of mathematics, why even rich and exciting hands-on learning does not always result in “real” learning of new concepts? The answer lies in whether students have actually learned mathematical concepts, rather than merely memorizing facts and formulas.

About the authors

Meir Ben-Hur is vice president, Program Services, and lead math consultant for the International Renewal Institute, Inc. (IRI). Since his first meeting with Reuven Feuerstein convinced him to devote a lifetime of learning and teaching to the Israeli psychologist's systematic approach to mediating children's learning experiences, Meir has developed his knowledge and skills as a teacher of young students and adults. His special interest in Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) has been in bridging FIE's “learning how to learn” process into mathematics.
