As we go through the daily teaching of math via the textbook curriculum, we are losing our students to true problem solving and intuition. We have to transform our curriculum to match the needs of our students to stop and think through problem solving. As teachers, we also need to learn how to be patient problem solvers in the classroom.
In the following video, Dan Meyers gives a TED Talk about how we need to change teaching from the samples given by the textbook and create student-led problem solving and application. TED Talks are talks given by various people from around the world on riveting topics.
