What if maths was taught through storytelling?

Maths concepts don’t have to be taught in a formulaic and abstract way. Dr. Natthapoj Vincent Trakulphadetkrai (Lecturer in Primary Mathematics Education, University of Reading’s Institute of Education) will challenge your perception about mathematics teaching and reveal why teaching maths using story picture books could be more effective.

This is the second video in a series of videos featuring research staff at the University of Reading’s Institute of Education answering ‘big questions’ about education.
