This is like the concepts in Khan Academy set loose into the teaching wilds. Sound ideas.
Looking forward to seeing more of this. 👍

[@rsbarnett]

That's exactly right - Khan Academy videos are great, but ultimately just videos. I think what teachers need is a coherent way to use such videos (Khan's or ideally their own), in a way that makes teaching more of a human experience. That's what Modern Classrooms educators around the world are trying to do!

It’s marvelous.

[@bocoxgurl]

Yep, the teaching and the math.

[@rsbarnett]

Spoken like a true math teacher!

I'm a big fan of your videos on TH-cam and I was wondering if I could have your permission to translate one of your videos into Chinese and share it on platforms like Chinese TikTok. I really enjoyed the content and I think it would be a hit in China. Of course, I'll make sure to credit you and include a link to your TH-cam channel in the post. Let me know if you're cool with it and if you have any specific preferences for the translation. Thanks a lot for considering this request - looking forward to potentially working together on this.

Oh, search up TED Translators. I'm one of them, and I translate videos there. I recommend this to you, as I can see that you are passionate :)

They don't like English either! Mathematics (maths). 😂😂😂

Now, in 2024, actor Terrence Howard is shining a light on how the basic principles we were taught about the numbers zero and one are false, because they defy the laws of physics. 🤔😒

What he's shining is a turd, not a light
