In my opinion introduce your children to only one concept in maths very humbly and carefully, the compound interest in finance. They’ll keep digging deeper everywhere else in maths by themselves after that.

“because they were… groty” What did she say? I’m unfamiliar with that word. The closest we have here in UK is grotty, but I don’t think she meant that.

I transfered schools in 6th grade where they were already well into geometry. I COULD NOT memorize. So I asked the teacher to explain how she arrived at the theorems I was supposed to memorize. She started to explain how there were standard relationships and PRIVED it to me. After her explanation it all made sense and I was able to navigate through math problems easily and was an “A” student. If I answered incorrectly, seeing how she arrived at the correct answer made all the difference in the world. Math became a puzzle to solve and was very exciting from that point on. At University, I fell in love with calculus and found the challenge exciting.

It’s the quality of maths/science/educationists/ scholar’s people they always talk in a slow pace so you can fully understand what they are saying. One of the fundamental quality of a teacher.

That reminds me of my 6th grade Math teacher, Miss Martin. She must have hated math, and she tried to make the students hate math too, with endless and useless repetition. Fortunately, she couldn’t break me, and I ended up an Engineer. ;>D

Outside of the basics, I can’t math my way out of a wet paper bag, but I can geometry anything and everything around me (even people). I think it’s just the fact that a shape is easier for me to grasp rather than going through equations. Shapes are concrete, physical; I can see and touch the shape. Equations are numbers and letters that could be anything and are written on paper which holds no weight for me to grasp

That ‘closest to’ example was incredibly difficult for 4th graders, especially without a calculator. Are you teaching long repeating decimal division to mid-elementary at all the schools this lady is visiting?

This shows how TED has gone down so far. Not everyone is ready to share knowledge. TED failed quality control, or they just let people to pay and advertise themselves through TED channel.

I applaud Ms. Sharma’s approach. Nothing can vanquish a child’s enthusiasm for any subject, when most of the teaching of that subject involves rote memorization. The sooner we move away from that approach and more towards the approach that Ms. Sharma is advocating, the better it will be for our kids, and the better it will be for our nation’s global competitiveness.
