👉 The Columbus Math, also known as the Columbus Method or Columbus Technique, is a unique, holistic approach to mathematics education developed by Dr. John Coltrane. It emphasizes understanding mathematical concepts through visual and kinesthetic learning, focusing on the interconnectedness of numbers, shapes, and patterns. Unlike traditional methods that rely heavily on rote memorization, the Columbus Math encourages students to explore and discover mathematical principles through hands-on activities, puzzles, and real-world applications. It uses geometric shapes, color coding, and spatial reasoning to build intuition and deep understanding, fostering a more intuitive grasp of abstract concepts. This method aims to make learning math engaging and accessible by connecting it to everyday experiences and visual representations, ultimately cultivating a love for mathematics and enhancing problem-solving skills.
