Hello!
Thanks for a great presentation at CONNECT. I learned a lot. 🙂
Just a quick and random comment about the (math) patterning examples that appeared in your presentation; did you know that 1 in 10 boys have colour vision issues? Some of the boys in your class may not be able to successfully answer the patterning problems that you presented, just because of the colours that were included.
You seem very passionate about equity and inclusivity, so I just thought I’d pass along that thought.
Thanks so much, again, for the great presentation.
Thanks for your message Susan. I would love to read more about this research. What colours would be better to use in the presentation? Thank you for attending our presentation and for your comment. Our presentation will be up later on the website. Thank you again.
