"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. 。
