A lot of students get discouraged about math because they don’t understand the worth behind the subject. Explaining math to students in less complex way helps to diminish this issue. I’m going to go ahead and check out this book, thanks! I think you should definitely look into checking out the videos on reelmath. On the website are student-made videos that explain math in real world situations. Really interesting and helpful, I’d say. (http://reelmath.org/videos)
