How to Save Math Education

The first part of this video is about 25 minutes in length featuring a presentation by Dan Meyer titled "How to Save Math Education" that sheds lights on ways to reconceptualize both the pedagogy and curriculum in mathematics education. In short, he advocates for a change in mathematics education that has these characteristics:

1. Builds from multimedia
2. Asks a concise question
3. Encourages intuition
4. Scales in difficulty
5. Iterates
6. Transmits faster than H1N1
