Invited Talk at ECC webinar

日本語/English

I was invited by ECC, the largest and oldest Japanese language school, as a speaker to discuss how to raise kids who love math. 

My messages in this talk are as follows. 

• Do not make statements that set limits on a child's potential.
  
• Since math can be boring if you can't solve the problems, start with understandable ones.
• Make sure to praise them when they solve a problem.
• Provide many opportunities to spark interest in mathematics and science (e.g., coding classes, science experiment workshops, puzzles, and times tables exercises).
• Studying STEM can develop logical thinking skills useful for learning and problem-solving.
  

These are very fundamental, but it is important that STEM researchers tell non-STEM-educated people why they are so.
