Let’s teach the substance behind mathematics: Valerie Faulkner

Mathematics curricula contain too many shortcuts and encourage pure, boring memorization, overlooking genuine understanding. Valerie Faulkner shares hands-on techniques that expose the meaning in the mathematics. (Filmed at TEDxNCSU.)

Each week, we choose four of our favorite talks, highlighting just a few of the enlightening speakers from the TEDx community, and its diverse constellation of ideas worth spreading. Browse all TEDxTalks here »
