This guy is so great! Look at his face while he is talking about math. It is enough to be convinced that math is something fun; he brings inspiration while he is talking. Not only is he absolutely amazing at mental math, he answered Colbert's question "Why does math matter? Because Americans have a long tradition of believing that math is hard and boring."

After taking his class those kids would blow away all state standards. ]]> http://www.dreambox.com/blog/the-mathemagician-on-why-math-matters-and-other-cool-ideas/feed 0
