  1. I can't explain how much this video brings me joy. I pulled my struggling student from public school and began to homeschool her. Math was her nemesis, and just the thought of doing math was a painful experience for her. I found the perfect spiral math program for her and began to allow her to take control of her lessons, even grading her own material (with supervision). 2 years later as a 6th grader, she reads over her lessons, grades her own papers and redoes her own problems..and is excited to do so! Math has transformed from being something that dominates her to something that she takes ownership of. This confidence spilled over to asking daily to work on logic puzzles and reading classic books with vibrant language. Now she says she feels her brain feels like it's always hungry for more challenges. So, self study being the key to success in learning math?? 💯

  2. My dad is a non-degreed prototype machinist. Despite this, he is an absolute genius. The engineers love him because as someone who actively makes these intensely intricate parts, he's the one that tells them yes/no your parts won't work because of xyz instead of just making what's requested and landing them in trouble 😂

  3. I'm trying to incorporate this with my kids AND myself. I am mathphobe. Past extremely negativr experiences with math homework at home has led to a lifetime of fight or flight impulses everyone I'm confronted with math problems. Videos like this are helping me rewire my brain and reactions and I'm so grateful.
