I'm a 47 year old engineer who often described my work as "counting for a living", and while I understood the concepts in the videos I have watched so far, you have made me understand them... better. The first video I watched was your proof of Pythagoras' Theorem. I, of course, had it memorized, but seeing the proof visually was wonderful.
As a teacher with 27 years experience, I can say that Mr. Woo is such a credit to our profession. How I wish an instructor with his skill set was around when I attended the primary grades, as well as my years in college.
Greetings from Singapore! I used to not like math but once I encountered your channel, I absolutely fell in love with Mathematics! Keep up the good work Mr Woo!
It would be wonderful if taking a class online feels as close to a classroom experience as possible. Like VR and such. The major advantage is that teachers can potentially teach thousands of students at once. If one could make a VR simulation of a classroom, they could record it too so that people can view it at any time.
@@OhPuree42 Sure, the tech just isn't there right now. But if we're doing this concept now, it would have to be a particularly well-produced stream, with good sets and VFX.
Math became alive for me little by little...from such a young age. Your connection in tedx about fractals and trees, our own bodies, even rivers and clouds was a new education about the world around me, even inside me...AND that was what I took with me, for myself right then and there...the key word is education... ❤️
I have a masters degree in molecular biology and looking forward to a phd in bioinformatics. I didn’t take math seriously because I thought I didn’t need it. I work in healthcare. But for bioinformatics, I need it, calculus, probability, and algebra. I need it all. Then I found your videos. To put it simply, you’ve my saved my life without knowing. Your videos have really helped me build the basics for the hard things. I am so so grateful
I’m well into my 30s and have a strong maths foundation, and I still love your videos, your way of teaching is amazing. Always asking why, why, why, with every concept, formula and subject you teach is really useful and the relatability is really engaging.
The biggest issue in math that I struggle with is that very idea of "missing earlier chapters" of a mathematical concept. I'd feel like I spent too long trying to wrap my head around an idea, and by the time I do, we're already getting tested on the 3rd concept. I'd have to attain a surface level understanding of the 2nd concept to just barely catch up, and I'd end up discouraging myself for not learning fast enough.
7:20 this is actually very close to me since I've been teaching an autistic kid for the last year and a half and the way I teached him division and reminders is (in abstract terms, obviously I used different language for him) for N/D you draw N little dashes and you number from one to N-1, when you get to N you write 0 instead For division you count the number of 0 and for remainders you just look for the last number you write(eg 10/3 = 1 2 0 1 2 0 1, so division 3 and remainder 1). This method also made it very easy for him to learn long division later on. Obviously he can't do any of it from his head, but at least he can do it at all.
I just watched a video about you I don't know how you can be so kind after the many things that put you down, you inspired me to be who I am today thank you Eddie
My classmates used to ask me for help about maths a lot and because i didn't want them to be afraid of something a little difficult, i often started by saying something like "It's actually not that difficult." Which got me angry comments i didn't understand back then. You just made it easier for me to understand why this wasn't a very good idea. Thanks for teaching me. 👍
Actually it depends on the context. I am myself a teacher. When you are starting a chapter, it is a good idea to tell students it's not that difficult, because you don't want them to start learning a new chapter with the mindset that it's difficult. However, when a student comes up to you with a specific doubt, at that time it's not wise to say that it's not that difficult, as that particular student DID find that particular concept difficult, which is why he/she had a doubt.
I particularly liked your comments about teaching primary school students. That is the challenge in every profession, to use your talent to understand some aspect of your area of expertise that you don’t know, and enable others to have that understanding without simply appealing to intuition. And for those students (or clients) to go forth and function with the learning you have imparted. I also liked that teaching that you received about understanding a persona. Implicitly here the persona of a teacher.
Eddie, thank you so much for this extremely valuable video. It's so helpful to hear from such a successful teacher as yourself what you think about teaching, how you prepare, and what helped you in getting to this position. So, thank you so much for being such a humble & shining star. God bless you richly.
I wish I had you as a maths teacher when I was in school. I loved maths, hated the rubbish way my teacher went through the motions like a dead fish. Really put me off. I loved Physics. I’d be a particle physicist by now.
i was programming teacher who found out teaching programming to kids is almost impossible because they don't reach the "math qualification". but after told ur videos to my students, it is easier to teach them. sadly i am no longer teacher anymore
I really understand how difficult to teach kids. I taught Math 10 years ago for 2 years. Teaching is very challenging. Anyway, I am quite bad at teaching.
Thank you teacher, I'm very proud of you. 🤗👍👍💫I want to become as you are one day.💫 You love your job, ✊✊it is very wonderful, 👏👏👏And I'm also fun of math .😅
I'm one of your fans as well as , I'm good at maths and like your reasoning in maths. I would like to make another video for teaching methodology. I hope you will see this comment👏
@@KrystalSquirrel Teacher is more of a long term thing. If the situation by then is different, I may reconsider. It maybe different in different countries also. But I actually want to study done higher level education first, perhaps in science or mathematics. I really appreciate your input, as I'm still at that stage of uncertainty for my future, so many possibilities and options!
I want to meet u in person one day, you had been so inspiring in my teaching career and yes, I do teach high school maths and been using your videos to teach my tutoring students
Greetings from a school very, very, very, VERY close by (You probably know the one). I'm wondering what things I should look out for in maths, common pitfalls or things I should probably study about. Do you have any advice there? Or should I just look at things in general and try to learn about a variety of parts of maths?
I am wondering how hard it is to teach adults? I am an old man and I need a little help. I need brain calories, I am nobody, so I have no one to ask. Please help. Thanks. I was looking at something. From a math perspective. Would you please give a think on this: Could 535 people, out of 300m people, as a matter of probability or fair chance, "accidentally", over and over and over again, publish words at the entire group. The words move the stuff at the group. But the group doesn't get the stuff, the 1 group who published the words, that moved the stuff, keeps getting it? See my math issue? We know how to count if each group of 535 people of 330m had a similar fair chance at the resources. Not a similar portion, that is something else. But the words are supposed to give us all a fair chance. That is the purpose of them. Would you deign this? I took discrete mathematics, 30 years ago, I have no one to ask. Please help me. 1. How likely is it that, we could rule out "accidental" wealth accumulation from within one group of 535 people out of (330m choose 535) possible groups? It's like .96 or something right? Next. How? Could 100m individuals, individually franchising, visit multiple pairs each of (435 + x) pairs of people, and select the one with more money than the other in any kinds of contest? Could that happen in a singing contest? A candidate contest? A spelling bee? That could not happen in a money contest. So, would those people be individually franchising or are they sent to the polls in discrete objects? Not as individuals? 2. How likely is it that, the people are sent to the polls in discrete objects and not in a non-linear fashion? Groups or individuals? Like .84-.92? Right? I made a video, but have no teacher to grade my work. It's debugging our system. Any input, I just want to know if this math approach might provide new outcomes or am I a senile old man seeing things? ua-cam.com/video/sUeOt6T_ZXE/v-deo.html ***Bonus question: Is anyone making an individual choice as an individual, at a virus infecting a discrete object? Is that idea provable? Or, are they are making GROUP choices as individuals? Dr. Fauci needs a little math help. It's a crime to do bad math on tv.
Hello, I am from Bolivia, I am 17 years old and I am one year away from finishing high school and I dream of studying mathematics since I like them but I feel that I have lost motivation because I feel that I am learning in a mechanical system in my school and for that I would like to to be able to recover my motivation with your youtube channel and I would like to know which of your playlist do you recommend me to start with?
I can confirm your teaching skills are so great that even we grown ups have felt that mental stimulation and inspires us to retake maths.
he is GOOD MATHS

I could just imagine you teaching advanced calculus... what a revolution you would make for math majorers!

why don't you make lesson videos for maths anymore
Did you use to teach Cherry Brook Tech? I go there :)
Starting liner equations in advanced year 9 any tips with that?
