What is Mensa? | Mensa International Interactive Media in Ed. How Can Unschoolers Learn Math? By Leo Babauta This is one of the most common questions people have about unschooling. It seems that people think reading might be fun enough for an unschooler to do on her own, but math has to be forced. And there might be something to this -- after all, in school, math isn't often a very loved subject. At least, not unless it comes easy to you and is fun. So it's a legitimate question. But let's start by asking you, my dear reader, a question: if you didn't know math now, as an adult, how would you learn it? The honest answer is that most of you probably wouldn't learn it, not right away at least, unless you really needed to. But you would learn some math -- the math you need to buy food and pay rent and get paid and make change if someone pays you $5 for a widget that costs $3.95. So then you'd learn, on your own, without someone forcing you. This is how unschoolers learn math. So, to recap, here's how unschoolers learn math: They don't learn if they're not motivated to learn.

Mensa International Founding[edit] Roland Berrill, an Australian barrister, and Dr. Lancelot Ware, a British scientist and lawyer, founded Mensa at Lincoln College, in Oxford, England, in 1946. They had the idea of forming a society for very intelligent people, the only qualification for membership being a high IQ.[6] It was to be non-political and free from all social distinctions (racial, religious, etc.).[9] American Mensa was the second major branch of Mensa. Membership requirement[edit] Mensa's requirement for membership is a score at or above the 98th percentile on certain standardised IQ or other approved intelligence tests, such as the Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scales. Mensa also has its own application exam, and some national groups offer alternative batteries of tests. Mission[edit] To this end, the organization is also involved with programs for gifted children, literacy and scholarships, and it also holds numerous gatherings.
