It's About Time! by Stuart J. Murphy7/2/2023 ![]() ![]() They actually became eager to apply math to real-life problems. Putting math in the context of stories based on their experiences made them feel more comfortable with abstract concepts. Visual learning strategies helped teens, who had been characterized as “reluctant learners,” understand difficult math concepts. ![]() The inspiration to write math stories for children was sparked by my work on a high school mathematics program. I became especially interested in educational publishing and have worked on the development of over a dozen major textbook programs, championing visual learning strategies from Pre-K through high school in every major curriculum area. That’s where I became interested in visual learning-how we decode and acquire information from graphs, charts, diagrams, models, illustrations and other images. When I was older, I studied art at the Rhode Island School of Design. “She thinks my stories are good.” That’s when I started to really enjoy writing. One day in the 4th Grade, my teacher said, “You tell such good stories, maybe you should try writing some of them down.” “Wow,” I thought. I was one of those kids who talked all the time in class.
