I agree with everyone else that it's a fantastic resource and the material is brilliantly presented, but I don't think it will help with the "Math Broken." I'm absolutely not knocking the resource or the site, I can't say enough good things about it, but if someone is already glazed over at the very mention of math, I don't think the videos here will help.
If you think otherwise then I'd really appreciate a suggestion, as I have someone I'd like to point at it ...
- NyxWulf 17y agoI agree, I don't think it's the panacea for that problem. It's a start though. The toughest things to get over imo, are the meme's that people will never use math and/or that math is not useful in the real world. The KhanAcademy handles the problem of insecurity about math and a gentler introduction to the topics once someone is interested enough to consider learning it. How you instill that initial desire and overcome their deep seated biases and insecurities about it are a much harder problem.
