Math is a Language (TEDx Talk)

 "Math isn't hard, it's a language" - TEDx Talk with Randy Palisoc

I stumbled upon this video today and found it really inspirational. I really liked how Randy Palisoc took an "apples plus apples" approach to explaining gradually more higher level mathematics concepts. I've actually used this idea before when teaching how to collect like terms and it really does help the students I teach. In my opinion, it makes abstract math concepts feel more concrete. By presenting math in this way, I hope it makes math less daunting to students.
