Brain-Based Education is the purposeful engagement of strategies that apply to how our brain works in the context of education. Brain based learning is considered a comprehensive approach to instruction. Brain based education offers a biologically driven classroom structure that corresponds to the functions of the human brain at different developmental levels. The practice engages the entire body to enhance the learning process. I did many brain based strategies for 5 th to 9 th std students in the school. Here are some of it.
i)Boggle:
Boggle is the classic word game where you try to find words in a 4x4 or 5x5 grid of letters. Boggle is a very fun game to play. Distribute 1 copy of one of the boggle game pages to each player. Start timing for 2 minutes and players will turn over their page and start looking for words. Players can write down words they find in the grid that match the following rules: The letters can be made by using any words present in the grid. The word doesn't have to appear in a straight line. It can be tangled around. Each letter in the word must uniquely appear in the grid. For example, if the word is ERASE, the letter E must appear twice in the grid. The word can't just loop back and re-use the same E. Words must be at least 3 letters long.Words cannot be a proper noun, such as a name or place.Less than 3 letters= 0 pts (invalid boggle word) 3 letters = 1 pt,4 letters = 2 pts,5 letters = 3 pts, 6 letters = 4 pts,7 letters = 5 pts,8 letters = 6 Pts, and so on….
ii) Mix and Pair strategy:- I had introduced brain based strategy in my set induction.I used mix and pair strategy in my lesson in which groups were made and each were given some sets of questions and answers. They have to find the answers and find the relation between each questions...
iii)Maths Puzzles:
Maths puzzles are one of the best and oldest- ways to encourage student engagement. Brain teasers, logic puzzles and math riddles give students challenges that encourage problem-solving and logical thinking. So I am giving students games such as cross- math puzzles, missing number puzzles,math madness, magic squares, circle number puzzle etc . By giving such types of games students practice their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills by searching for hidden math equations in a word search-style puzzle. It can be adapted to any skill you want students to practice, and promotes a solid understanding of basic math facts
