Matemáticas en México ¿Aprendizaje Imposible? | Cristina González y Dan Contreras | TEDxZapopan

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In PISA studies, Mexico generally ranks near the bottom. The traditional educational model has reached its limits, and many students in Mexico don't see the usefulness of mathematics in daily life. However, the reasoning and problem-solving skills developed through mathematics are critical for performing higher-value jobs and attracting new investments to the country. Cristina and Daniel show us how, with a lot of passion and creativity, they created a math teaching platform that simplifies the lives of students, teachers, and parents. With this, will it be possible to reach the top 10 in the PISA ranking in the near future? Cristina and Daniel are the founders of CristiGo, a platform for teaching mathematics using video segments recorded on YouTube. The project was launched in 2009 and today has over 5,000,000 views. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
