"I sorta could answer the questions, but I just never comprehended it until that moment where I was forced to explain it to my friends, to my fellow university students," Woo told the station.。
"And that's where I realised if you ask the question of maths 'why is this important,' 'what does it speak to me about the world' -- not just 'how do I answer the question' -- then actually, it speaks really deeply to that human desire to understand the world around you and be able to appreciate what makes it work."。
For many students, Woo's method of teaching has helped suck them into the world of math, a subject which many kids can struggle with.。
More high school teachers like this guy, please.。
