Math educator, Dan Meyer, recently gave a presentation on teaching algebra at TEDxNYED. His presentation is incredibly insightful and frames a problem that I have seen for a long time. Our kids are not learning to solve real world problems. Dan provides some very simple ideas that can revolutionize the way that we teach math. By framing problems differently and by using multimedia Dan has devised a strategy to enable kids to learn how to create equations and use math to solve problems. Take a look at the video below.
