Content
of
the
presenta4on

•  The
main
reason
for
this
talk
is

to
share
with
you
one
of
my
persistent

complaint
about
the
way
mathema4cs
is
presented

and
what
have
been

my
believes
in
this
regard
that
made
me
to
complain.

•  The
possibility
that
I
can
create
to
resolve
my
complaints
and
my
recent

commitment
in
this
regard

•  How
I
love
and
enjoy
learning,
applying
math
and
how
each
of
my
success

in
math
gave
me
momentum
to
follow
science
and
engineering
and

adventure
new
technologies

•  What
method
did
I
used
for
learning
math

•  My
experience
of
sharing
my
learning
methods
with
my
students
and

what
these
methods
are

•  How
applying
these
methods
can
contribute
to
transforma4on
of

mathema4c
educa4on
and
make
it
possible
for
more
students
to
enjoy

learning
math
and
apply
that
in
their
life
and
their
jobs

•  My
curiosity
and
imagina4on
were
my
giRs

•  Unique
way
of
learning
for
each
individual

My
book
”How
become
a
genius”

•  I
believe
every
one
can
be
a
genius
in
a
ﬁeld
that
they
are

passionate
for

•  In
this
book
I
explain
some
of
the
features
of
people
so

called
genius
and
model
what
they
do
and
explain
how
we

can
recreate
those
feature
for
ourselves.

•  The
primary
feature
of
geniuses
is
their
obsessive
focus
on

what
they
are
passionate
for.
I
oﬀering
some
methods
to

reach
this
focus
and
one
of
them
is
for
becoming
free
from

our
persis4ng
complaint.

•  I

believe
that
any
complain
that
we
have
in
our
life
is
about

something
we
care
about,
and
we
think
that
thing
should

be
done
beCer
and
most
oRen
we
know
how
it
should
be

done
beCer.

Persistent
complaints
mostly
are
sign

for
ac4on

•  If
we
are
authen4c
with
ourselves
most
oRen
have
the
ability
to

change
the
thing
that
we
complain
about

•  We
can
create
a
possibility
and
make
it
beCer,
and
most
oRen
we

have
passion
for
that
too

• 
In
my
case
I
have
had
a
consis4ng
complain
about
the
way
that

Math
was
presented
in
schools,
and
then
universi4es
since
I
was
14

or
15

•  I
believed
that
math
is
full
of
life,
joy
and
full
of
beau4ful
images

and
can
be
related
to
our
every
day
life
and
the
way
we
experience

world

•  But
what
I
observed
was
that,
the
way
math
was
presented
in
my

schools
and
university,
oRen
experienced
by
my
classmate
and

friends
is
a
course
with
awful
amount
of
numbers
and
meaningless

and
irrelevant
calcula4ons
that
they
have
to
do

My
hunger
for
mathema4c

•  In
elementary
school
I
loved
math,
that
was
the
most

sa4sfying
course
for
my
carious
mind

•  But
not
necessarily
the
way
that
it
was
taught
in
school

•  I
developed
my
own
way
studying
for
math

•  I
had
a
way
to
make
numbers
and
equa4on
visualized

and
make
them
full
of
feeling
and
emo4on

•  With
my
own
way
I
learned
so
much
faster

•  So
my
own
math
book
problems
became
boring
aRer
a

while
and
then
I
started
to
solve
problems
in
my

friends
math
books
in
higher
grades

My
favorite
hobby

•  In
middle
school

we
had
white
board
in
our
class

•  My
ﬁrst
interac4on
with
white
board
was

absolute
pleasure

• 
White
board
was
my
free
space
to
create

•  A
way
to
communica4ng
inner
self
to
give

physical
forms
to
my
thought
without
any

limita4on

•  See
my
though
and
play
with
it
and
draw
what
I

see
in
things

My
ﬁrst
break
through

•  I
stay
late
in
the
class
and
work
on
the

mathema4c
problem
that
I
found
interes4ng

•  I
had

a
lot
of
fun

•  ARer
a
while
I
was
recognized
by
my
school

and
they
sent
me
to
mathema4c
Olympiad

prepara4on
courses

•  Then
Physics
and
Computer
Olymaid

Math
and
computer
prepara4on

course

•  In
this
classes
basically
is
not
much
teaching,
there
are

a
lot
of
introduc4on
to
different
equa4on
and
mostly

you
need
to
do
lots
of
self
learning
and
problem

solving

•  So
I
s4ll
con4nued
my
way
of
learning
math

•  I
was
a
top
student
in
one
the
class
that
many
of
my

fellow
student
find
it
unbelievably
hard
but
the
reason

was
that
I
was
not
relay
on
what
was
said
in
the
class

•  The
class
was
much
higher
level
than
what
we
learned

in
school

•  I
got
all
this
self-‐confidence

My
observa4on
of
people
that
have

problem
with
math
and
sta4s4cs

•  My
observa4on
was
that
most
oRen
when
students
around
me,
aRer
having
many
courses
in
math

graduate

they
do
not
remember
most
of
it

and
even
if
they
remember
,oRen
they
do
not
willing

to
or
do
not
know
how
to
u4lize
their
skills
in
their
jobs

•  Many
people
decide
to
not
go
to
college
or
higher
educa4on
or
drop
out
from
their
college
or

university
because
of
mathema4c

•  Unfortunately
it
was
not
the
case
just
in
my
observa4on

•  Recently
I
was
presented
to
Jo
Boaler,
she
is
a

mathema4c
professor

in
Stanford
university
by

friend
of
mine
Bonita
Banducci
who
teach
in
Santa
Clara
University

which
is
also
one
of
the

speaker
for
today.

•  Some
of
Jo
Boaler
works
are
available
in
YouTube,
,she
gave
alarming
sta4s4c
and
ﬁgures
for
math

result

in
US
and

how
many
student
drop
college
and
university
just
because
they

fail
to
succeed

in
math.
She
has
developed
innova4ve
ways
for
teaching
math.

•  She
also
mansions
How
in
coming
future
there
is
a
need
more
math
skill
in
many
of
jobs

•  All
this
tell
us
how
many
of
our
resource
investment
in
mathema4c
educa4on
that
is
founda4on
for

educa4on
in
science
and
produc4on
of

technology
had
a
poor
return
and
prac4cally
have
been

wasted

My
teaching
experience

•  The
thing
is
the
reason
for
my
complain
have
been
that
I
have
8

years
of

experience
of
teaching
math
to
mostly
so
called

problema4c
student
who
labeled
to
have
learning
disabili4es
or

sever
stress
or
anxiety
toward
mathema4c.

•  My
experience
with
these
students
was
that
any
student
who
is

approved
to
be
in
school
not
only
could
learn
math
but
also
can
be

great
in
math
and
enjoy
that

•  My
observa4on
was
even
though
that
factors
such
as
gender,
age,

and
race,
background
can
effect
the
way
we
learn
but
are
not

determining
factors
for
being
good
at
math
and
enjoy
learning
that

and
generally
the
end
result.

•  Through
all
these
years
I
never
failed
with
any
of
them
and
see

miracles
in
each
of
these
students.
My
students
first
got
great

grades
in
math
and
then
other
courses
too
and
for
many
of
them

changed
the
course
of
their
life
significantly.

My
success
in
teaching
math

•  At
that
4me
many
of
my
parents
friends
and
neighbors
asked
me
to
help
their

children
with
math.
I
could
help
many
students
successfully
to
get
good
grades
in

math
courses
and
then
in
other
courses
too.

•  One
of
the
most
impressive
experiences
was
one
our
neighbor’son
that
was
in
first

year
of
high
school.
He
was
about
to
drop
school
and
he
was
labeled
that
he
has

learning
disability.
In
first
session
he
told
me
that
he
has
no
interest
in
math
and

generally
to
studying
and
he
rather
become
a
garbage
man
than
stay
in
school,
but

his
mother
do
not
leave
him
alone.

•  I
just
say
that
is
fine,
we
just
talked
a
liCle
bit
and
if
you
did
not
like
it,
you
can
just

go.
I
asked
him
about
his
hobbies
and
interests
and
sports
that
he
likes.
He
told
me

that
he
liked
soccer.
So
I
began
the
first
session
and
start
talking
about
numbers

and
equa4ons
and
explain
all
the
image
that
see
in
each
of
these
equa4ons
and

then
came
up
with
examples
and
math
problems
related
to
soccer
and
he
started

to
solve
them
and
aRer
10
session
he
went
to
math
final
exam
and
got
(B+).
He

had
not
got
this
grade
in
any
of
his
courses
un4l
then.
Their
parents
were
shocked.

He
stayed
my
student
and
finished
high
school.

•  My
experience
with
my
mother

Example

what
I
see
in
an
equa4on

Our
plan
for
future,
what
possibility
can
I
create
from

to
resolve
my
complaints

•  Trough
help
of
my
dear
friend
Bonita
Banducci
(gender

engineering)
I
would
like
to
design
workshops
for

interac4on
with
technology
and
Mathema4cs

•  Where
people
have
chance
to
experience
and
ﬁnd
a

fun
way
to
learn
and
work
with
technology
and
enjoy

that

•  We
will
create
the
plaiorm
to
share
our
vision
and

innova4ve
ways,
that
technology
can
be
experienced

by
them

•  Also
empowering
them
to
be
pioneer
to
create

technology
and
way
of
learning
for
people
with

diﬀerent
perspec4ves

Invita4on
for
coopera4on
and
partnership

•  I
believe

that
if
we
want
more
people
in
science
and
technology,

we
need
to
transform
the
way
science
specially
math
is
presented

to
people

•  rela4onship
with
technology
from
learning
to
applica4on
and

innova4on
and
produc4on
of
technology
and
science.

First
one
is

in
a
prac4cal
level
and
second
one
is
in
the
research
level.

•  First:
prac4cal
level,
if
you
are
interested
in
this
subject
and
trying

to
reach
the
same
demographic,
we
can
collaborate
and
brain

storm

to
create
workshop
and
developing
curriculum
for

educa4onal
program
for
different
age
group

to
engage
them
in

science
and
technology
that
can
give
them
access
to
beCer

opportuni4es
and
career.
I
have
some
idea
for
make
it
possible
in

this
workshops
to
interact
with
science
in
a
fun
way,
that
can
help

them
to
discover
their
unique
way
of
connec4on
with
science
and

realizing
their
poten4als
in
different
field
of
science.

Invita4on
for
coopera4on
and

partnership

•  Second:
For
the
research
level
I
believe
that
there
is
a
need
for
tools
and

methods
that
can
be
provided
to
people
that
is
scien4ﬁcally
designed

based
on
brain
science,
psychology

to
make
it
easier
and
fun
for
people
to

be
engaged
to
science
and
technology.

From
my
personal
experience
with
science
and
technology
and
also
working

with
a
lot
of
people,
I
truly
believe
that
there
many
special
and
unique

poten4al
in
many
people
that
make
them
able

to
do
extra
ordinary
abili4es

to
feel
and
understand
science
in
a
very
deep
level
and
if
through
customized

way
of
teaching
these
poten4al

can
be
realized

I
would
like
to
develop
a
research
in
intelligent
tools
for
learning
and

teaching(using
computer
science
and
brain
science)
that
can
be
customized

to
characteris4c
of
each
individual

and
write
a
PhD
in
this
area.
I
am
seeking

for
a
university
preferably
in
US
that
this
research
can
be
ﬁts
to
their

programs
and
a
professor
who
has
interest
in
this
subject.

The
keys
to
my
success

•  Insa4able
curiosity(My
curiosity
did
not
give
me
much
room
and
4me
for
believing
the
exis4ng

constrain
as
a
reality)

•  Dare
to
try
explore
and
make
mistake(Find
my
way
to
learned
that
anyway)

•  Strong
imagina4on

•  Discovering
my
unique
way
of
learning

•  Set
a
place
for
expressing
my
feeling
and
thoughts

•  Mastery
in
math

•  See
math
my
everyday
life

•  Have
a
great
role
models

•  Do
not
believe
in
constrains

My
life
is
my
game
and
I
am
the
one

who
must
set
the
game
rules

•  First
every
day
spend
minimum
5
minutes
of
your
4me
be
a
kid
again.
In
this
4me,

watch
your
life
as
you
saw
that
back
then,

be
carious
about
everything
and
you

have
a
lots
of

great
imagina4on
about
you
like
to
do,
see
everything
as
possibility

and
try,
laugh
and
be
playful
.
Even
if
you
had
to
do
some
portending
at
the

beginning,
your
natural
talent

will
come

you
and
aRer
a
while
you
feel
confident

to
start
whatever
that
seems
to
be
just
a
dream
for
you
now

•  Get
yourself

a
white
or
black
board
or
similar
your
window
or
a
large
piece
of

paper.
It
physically
gives
you
a
blank
space,
first
expressing
and
wri4ng
whatever
it

hurts
and
then
ask
ques4on
in
a
way
that
you
can
come
up
with
solu4on.
That
is
a

way
of
communica4on
with
your
inner
intelligence.

•  In
the
begging
you
set
alarm
set
alarm
from
10
to
15
minutes
for
both
experience

and
just
keep
wri4ng,
even
if
you
write
First
sentence
as
I
do
not
know
what
to

write

•  When
you
write
your
distrac4ons
and
what
hurts
you
will
have
a
free
space
to

create

•  If
you
have
difficulty
with
math
or
any
thing
similar
write
the
problem
and
do
not

afraid
of
imagina4on.

Happy
women’s
day

•  We
have
been
focusing
so
much
on
what
women

are
have
diﬃculty
to
do
but
there
are
many

characteris4cs
in
the
women
nature
that
can
do

extra
ordinary
things
with
science.

Women

experience
life
and
death
and
growth
in
their

bodies
all
the
4me.
All
science
is
made
up
from

nature
that
women
has
a
deep
connec4on
to
it,

technology
is
just
applica4on
of
the
science,
and

if
they
can
discover

that,
it
will
give
them

leverage
to
learn
faster
and
be
more
innova4ve

and
create
science.

BeCer
world
for
all
men
and
women

We
are
complaining
about
many
problems
in

the
world
and
yet
most
of
these
problems
have

persisted
so
far
,
because
most
of
us
have
not

dare
to
oﬀer
our
solu4ons
for
them
and
have

not
start
to
take
ac4on
yet,
maybe
now
it
is
the

4me!

Thank
you
for
your
aCen4on
