Maths is the hidden secret to understanding the world

Maths


Intitally I thought this video is not going to help me in my teaching, but actually I was wrong. It fitted in with the book I recently read on Maths. It talks about showing things in different ways and he gives an example of 4/3 and how this can be represented in many different ways. I thought this was interesting as it made me think about the importance of the children showing problems and mathematical situations in different ways. With the help of working in different abiltiy groups this could help as the children will bring their different ideas. An important part that needs to be remembered is that by representing a math problem in different ways can really help to show the understanding they have.

This guy showed a huge passion for maths and he talks about using imagination and changing your perspective which leads to showing empathy.

Conclusion- Understanding something really deeply has to do with changing your perspective. When you are studying maths changing your perspective can help you be open to new ideas
