You are one of new heroes Elly! Bravo! (from a 57 yr old later in life mathlete)

I want this young woman to teach math to my children with this level of passion!

@peterrafeiner9461 10 жыл бұрын

I paid my way thru University tutoring Math and Physics. I could not agree more with you on the poor state of math education. Kids are rewarded to become a human pocket calculator. They learn how to solve quadratic equations, but they do not learn what these are good for. It's like teaching carpentry by showing how to 'hold' a hammer but never building anything with it.

I hate math because I can't apply anything I learned in the classroom in real life. If I could, I would love it.

@ousamasouain4567 9 жыл бұрын

Luis Cancino you don't think that ,as a student ,it is our role to find application of what we learned, in real life?

@engegy8841 9 жыл бұрын

+Peter Rafeiner I was looking to Math " as useless tools" until i entered Engineering & know the concept of Mathematical Modelling of real life problem then i found math very great subject

@supercat7284 7 жыл бұрын

engineering is application.people like application. astronomy and others are also good.

i love maths too, it's amazing

@mrhidden3426 7 жыл бұрын

I for example would like to learn math and I feel some passion for it but I am not talented for that, so I have to throw my passion away,you know?

@q.e.d.8999 7 жыл бұрын

Talent is not required. I can tell you anything about talent and its influence in life, even my story. But i dont think it would change your opinion. I just would like to say that there is only Time spend on practising and solving variety of exercises. They develop our way of thinking. Thats the math.

Love the passion and energy! Productive failure can be an approach for the science classroom too by the way. Great thoughts Elly!!

I absolutely agree. Great message and outstanding presentation.

Math is why I dropped out of college; or should I say, my not knowing how to compute math, in my brain, is why I dropped out of college.

Could NOT agree more on this topic. This idea deserves more spreading!

Math is something I've earned. I have been so good at it. It's the only thing that I can be very good at. Yet everyone is telling me that is my talent, but it has slowly fainted away. My math pride. I feel like I am no longer ahead. My desire to learn....is gone. It will come back, i hope.

@asmaanaciri9046 6 жыл бұрын

it will come back..don't worry..just never give up

@lobnaelkatan9169 7 жыл бұрын

i am still 16 and i used to think that math was my passion ...sth that i really love and enjoy but cz of the education system and very old curriculums i began to think that i am not good enough ..like i am not qualified. .since then i feel like i am lost and hopeless ...watching this video and thinking like i will never be like her, i am a waste to this planet sources ..zero self confidence 😔 i am an Egyptian girl ..perhaps you have already noticed that from my terrible English ..sorry 😓

I feel it too, don't worry. I have the same problem :(

لا تفقدي الأمل, انا أيضاً أحب الرياضيات و لكني لست جيدة فيها و لكن مع الممارسة و الصبر و المثابرة الرياضيات تصبح مثيرة للاهتمام حتي تصلي لمرحلة عندما تواجهين عملية صعبة الحل و يبدأ الشك في القدرات ,تأكدي ان المشكلة في الذكاء العاطفي و ليس التحليلي لأنه ينظر لها من تجرية سابقة مؤلمة و لذلك يبدأ بإرسال رسائل سلبية مثل " إنها صعبة , لاتقدري عليها, هل تتذكرين وقت كذا عندما لم تعرفي الاجابة " ,,,,, عندما تأتي مثل هذه الرسائل قولي لنفسك أنكي لازلت تتعلمين و سترتكبين الكثير من الاخطاء ايضا و لكن سانظر اليها كا فرص لتحسين نفسي و الاستفادة من اخطائي . و بالتوفيق إن شاء الله :)

"maths isn't about computation but problem solving" Gonna do maths with productive failures! ~Thank you~

@tha-intersect4874 6 жыл бұрын

I'm an Engineering Student, I love what I study but I am poor at math. That "problem solving"approach...if I was exposed to such a system, I'm certain I'd have even better things to say about studying Engieneering

The master at something has failed more times than the beginner has ever tried. Productive failure leads to success.

@arnasikdar4238 6 жыл бұрын

only speaking about the wrong approach of the conventional education system, won't serve the purpose,real initiative should be taken,to improve teaching methods,& this should be done on a large scale,so that everyone across the world can get it's benefits

The problem with education in this country is culture. All anybody needs is a will and access to books.

Addition, subtraction, division, probability, geometry etc is useful but algebra, calculus, integration etc are useless and the worst thing ever taught by teachers.

@supercat7284 7 жыл бұрын

it doesn't matter , i like when math is applied. i love word problems. astronomy , computer science,etc make my heart beat faster

@ammadnaeem5069 7 жыл бұрын

Fat Cat : But there is a differene between logical reasoning for the sake of application and theoretical reasoning for the sake of just theory and assumption. The world does not work on assumptions.

@supercat7284 7 жыл бұрын

Angry Human how does that relate to liking applications of math ?

@bb-lemon 7 жыл бұрын

but ... continuous probability is founded on calculus

@bb-lemon 7 жыл бұрын

Addition, subtraction, & division are all operators of algebra, and algebra is the father of most mathematical theory. Geometry is impossible without algebra.
