About the video:

This presentation was given at a local TEDx event, hosted independently by the TED Conferences. Is 26% proficiency in math acceptable to people? That’s what teacher and Synergy Academies Founder Dr. Randy Palisoc questions the TEDxManhattanBeach audience. With only 26% of U.S. twelfth graders proficient in mathematics, Randy shares his solution: teach math as a language. Putting words back into math lessons enables even the youngest school-age minds to understand complex concepts, such as fractions, that are traditionally thought of as abstract and difficult to grasp. In his stunningly simple and effective approach, math no longer creates problems for kids but solves them.

About the presenter:

Randy Palisoc is a passionate teacher, known for making math easy. A founder of the five-time national award winning Synergy Academies, Randy is proud to identify Synergy as an “in spite of” school. In spite of the fact that its students were disadvantaged and in spite of the fact that it did not have its own facility and had to pack up its classrooms every single week, his school was the first and only elementary school in South Los Angeles to ever win the National Blue Ribbon Award, and was named the #1 Urban Elementary School in America in 2013.

  1. Iam so support for this satetment because this statement make the next generation be a smart from and in my opinion, using such a method can make the next generation better by memorizing and counting more carefully and that everything that has been talked about by the speakers is very good even for parents to educate and teach their children as the speakers speak.
