The problem is not math The problem is the way we teach math

Comment from : @sakoafram465

There are so many different formulas and approaches to problem solving that you get to learn through studying maths, and I love the examples Samia has given for how to apply them

Math is the best more people need to get involved
Comment from : @ularesser

Mathematics is a beautiful subject to learn! The fault has always lain with how it's taught
Comment from : @harrydecker3979

I wish people knew just how much mathematics they use in daily life! Adding up your groceries? Maths! Calculating the angle of a reverse park? Maths! Cutting a freakin cake?? MATHS
Comment from : @channelcannes

Very cool, very easy to follow and understand
Comment from : @parlyperdot

I'm always so amazed by how useful mathematics actually is
Comment from : @buddabuxby

Mathematics helps in so many ways
Comment from : @billy-martin

At school I loved all the practical subjects like Drama and Art, and completely disregarded Maths But when I went to Art school and learnt to paint properly the first lesson was about scale and how to grid a canvas There are so many uses for it that we just don't think of until it's actually needed!
Comment from : @lucyholmesisme

Ha, this made it all so simple!
Comment from : @nadyazt

Validation of what I have said for years, math is easy if you know how
Comment from : @kamilanotthevip

I had to stop and start this so many times to process what was happening I wish I understood maths better and had a teacher like this in school
Comment from : @robertaherron

I think the issue lies in the way it's taught It could be such a wonderful subject if it was taught practically and creatively instead of through obscure problems in a text book
Comment from : @morefunallthetime

I agree with her There is such a big picture understanding once you wrap your head around the patterns of numbers and all the answers they can give us
Comment from : @vivianacorinacabarcaherrera

Maybe maths would seem more desirable to master if it was called something different? The Universal language, perhaps?
Comment from : @rontjacks

math is magic!!
Comment from : @earlyeaston

Mathematics can be so beautiful and perfect, especially geometry I love looking at how it's manifested in nature
Comment from : @randisoh

Your voice is mesmerising alongside the topic I’m a bit inspired to go and do some more maths research
Comment from : @someonednamessomeone

If only the way Maths was peddled in high school made it seem this interesting I know it is, and I've fallen in love with mathematics ever since I left school
Comment from : @jycintabrown

Her passion for the subject makes me feel like it's much more beautiful subject matter than any of my teachers at school!
Comment from : @WEisMEnow

The story of the queen and her jeweller is so interesting and cool to think about! I wish they had of given us problems like this, might have made more people realise the importance of maths and actually paid attention!
Comment from : @aniyaspack

This is so true
Comment from : @joopanders

hahah YES great stuff, math has been and always will be my favourite thing
Comment from : @buddyfranks

This should be shown to kids picking electives, maybe they would be more curious about math! Definitely made me think differently
Comment from : @mydogbudisthebest

This is such a great story! Love the way they solved the problem
Comment from : @sorinareina

After math happens to you, nothing worse can happen Yup, 13 year old be knew this and it is still true
Comment from : @alexleister

It is beautiful that maths is a universal language All cultures experience love, sadness, anger fear and have words for these things They also all experience maths Just beautiful
Comment from : @barbfilbert

There is a lot to be said about problem solving giving space for stretching our creativity It forces our minds to push limits and think outside of the expected There are a lot of books that utilise this approach to enhance creative thinking for not only artists but also business leaders
Comment from : @jackstanger

I wish someone had explained the importance of maths to me in this way, maybe I would have paid more attention to it in school!
Comment from : @gemi10togood

I am back again with my family's kids, I think this is a really good way to get people interested
Comment from : @thesebrokendreams

Maths is definitely so underrated and often, misunderstood It can be used to plan and simplify so many things, like marking out a grid on a canvas or figuring out the material needed to make something
Comment from : @cruznow

What an amazing perspective! It's always presented as a critical subject and I think that can be really daunting when you have to learn it as a kid, especially if you're a creative one
Comment from : @dannyduncduncan

Mathematics is truly the language of the universe There are so many examples of it's beauty, especially in nature and sacred geometry
Comment from : @edgartestrada

Even that maths was able to find patterns for the most pleasing way for artwork to be structured means it is such a huge part of every facet of our lives
Comment from : @rubyguil4622

I was lost right the moment the gold needed to be cut equally Lucky for me there are people doing this stuff behind the scenes because I do not have the brain for this
Comment from : @carllokit

Why would Sweden be so against math as a core subject? It is used in everything, I use elements of it every day I’m not a mathematician, but I certainly see the value of me learning it, and I also see the benefit in my daily life from others studying and exploring it

10:24 the idea that we are trained to associate creativity with the absence of boundaries was a powerful statement for me to hear I felt that in my core, but logically I am also aware that creativity is born out of necessity and trying to find a way around those boundaries This was so thought provoking
Comment from : @steeveleibold531

So much creativity in this space, I never really thought about it this way before Why did they not highlight this passion in maths while I was at school
Comment from : @ekimoduarte

Maths connected to creativity is a unique approach and one I had never thought of before There is so much to be said about pushing our minds and exploring Great perspective!
Comment from : @TheRealLoveChannel

Bahahaha!! “After maths happens to you nothing worse can come around” So many levels to this statement!
Comment from : @ryleefinn8894

Understanding Math is a gift, I think I am not talented
Comment from : @iamsamfemia

I swear Math is made as boring and repetitive as possible in grade school so that very few people find interest in them I know many who are much more interested in Mathematics and all that numbers can do now that we are out of school
Comment from : @bra-nd-on

Understanding Math is a gift, I think I am not talented
Comment from : @basilfaulty7643

Even after such a detailed explanation I am not sure I may be good at math:)
Comment from : @theluisquinn

My way of solving such a problem would be to fold the triangle into as many tiny triangles as I could My brain just can't wrap itself around numbers until I'm half way through the problem
Comment from : @gizmeaux

Again, I see how important the ability to explain is Thank you!
Comment from : @dimamoharev

I never got how to solve these kinds of tasks! Solutions for me are always WOW!
Comment from : @noaholiverauthentic

Was trying to find some fun math videos for my niece and this came up Not sure she would follow quite yet but you have just reiterated to me why I am so passionate about numbers
Comment from : @sadiaykor

Samia, brilliantly told and presented
Comment from : @gabor-kantor

Math is almost always the solution to all problems I sometimes look at my Daughter's home work and wonder if they are drying to dull their brains with these simple formulas instead of focusing on patterns and problem solving
Comment from : @dustinprichards

I LOVE THIS! I love everything about it I love numbers and I've always thought the way it was presented in schools was BORING and never encouraged anyone
Comment from : @kathrynlthomas

For the first time ever I wish I had taken more of an interest in Math at school Samia, had you been my teacher I would have been so much more interested!
Comment from : @therealmyyt

I didn't know that someone may even think of leaving out Math as an optional subject! Sound like nonsense!
Comment from : @hannahyvictoria

Fantastic explanation of the magic of Maths and all the beautiful patterns that depend on it
Comment from : @dahliaegil

I remember when I was 11 or 12, getting 98 on a problem solving test, seriously one of the proudest moments of my life as I was a kid who couldn't sit still or stop interrupting
Comment from : @leotencall

The sentence I often hear in the US is: Math is not the only thing It is true, but it can be understood wrong among students Children may think they don't have to learn Math, they don't need to be good at math Math is the core knowledge to open to many domains Having a strong background with math can guarantee us a fairly good life We can study things we like and study Math
Comment from : @americanwildlife-ongvathoa6605

In school, I hated Math and was sure it would do nothing in the real world How wrong was I!
Comment from : @samacigrist

Very interesting idea I've never thought about Mathematics as a tool for creativity!
Comment from : @dennisdanilla

Woah! Excellent Excellent Excellent - best math lesson ever!!!
Comment from : @eric-tran

Finally someone that teaches math that makes it easy to understand!
Comment from : @raejenson

Math knowledge makes us see the structure of the world, that is hidden behind all the chaos - critical thinking is so important in these times
Comment from : @regissanford7104

Mathematics and creativity? Boosting creativity with Math tasks? Well, why not?!
Comment from : @maynardsavery

I avoided maths all I could until recently This is not the maths I remember
Comment from : @jaymoneyDollaHolla

I so enjoyed watching this I very much agree even though math and I did not get a long in high school
Comment from : @harmonyhadley5216

It is odd that we should need a reason to study Math, which really is at the forefront of all science!
Comment from : @natalyaguilerafigueroa

Maybe I don't get it, well I don't And I don't understand why we need so much math education when I will never have any use for algebra or calculus
Comment from : @wittylove7215

I started clapping at the end - I get it I understand math much better now
Comment from : @therealprincessareeba

Yes math is important, but perhaps ethics and critical thinking are even more important for our children!
Comment from : @piperdalgliesh

Thank you for your efforts to get this idea across I hope more people listen to your talk and understand the importance of Math
Comment from : @jackcryner

always been a huge fan of problem solving the way the brain works to look for patterns and such is really so interesting and keeps us feeling young!
Comment from : @AnastasiaCostcalla

Numbers, patterns - all of the world's truths come in numbers! love this talk!
Comment from : @jovitasardens207

wtf porque me aparece cuando descargo alg valla mrd
Comment from : @litox7531

Because of lock down, my daughter studies remotely, and I help her with some of her tasks I enjoy doing Math tasks with her, and now I have an explanation of why Math is so important Thank you!
Comment from : @ronheslegrave9487

I think that Math is one of the most important sciences And hope people who make decision understand it and never leave it out as an optional subject
Comment from : @gaborsette

I hated math in school but I noticed almost as soon as I entered the work force how much I LOVED math I've always been a huge fan of problem solving and finding patterns and I just had no idea how really interesting numbers were The laws of math bring so much sense to our world
Comment from : @sophiachandler4662

I always was bad at Math, but now I understand why I didn't have a good teacher who would explain everything in the way you do!
