Understanding Mathematics

Very interesting video - how to facilitate the language of Mathematics to our students. Changing the concept of solving 'math problems' to understanding how things work. Students tend to look as Mathematics as a subject where formula will be given and they have to substitute values in formula to get an answer - without understanding the situation and cannot relate the problem to real-life examples.
