Welcome to our Ted Talk: An Interview with Ted Dintersmith
All you have to do is look around to see that the world is changing very rapidly. But the course sequence of math education in American schools has changed little since the 1950s. In this episode, Pete and Noah welcome Ted Dintersmith, author of the book Aftermath, for a lively discussion about which math skills and concepts can best prepare today's students for the world of tomorrow.
Questions Answered in the Episode:
- What mathematical skills and concepts are most important for students to learn to prepare for the future?
- Why are statistics and data analytics considered more practical than traditional high school calculus for most students?
