Is Living Like Most People the Easier Path? | YING PANG | TEDxTheBund
TEDx Talks· 2025-08-21 16:00
Using the debate topic “Is living like most people the easier path?” as her starting point, Pang Ying examines how the singular standards of society’s value system can quietly confine us. Conforming to the mainstream may feel effortless, but it often traps us in a one-size-fits-all measure of worth—stripping away our right to define life’s meaning for ourselves. She argues that what exhausts us is not survival itself, but the mental weight of meaninglessness and self-limitation. Pang urges her audience to r ...
Why Maths Matters for Life: Skills Beyond Numbers | Christopher Stanley | TEDxBritishSchoolManila
TEDx Talks· 2025-08-13 15:54
Core Argument - The speaker argues that mathematics education should focus on developing lifelong skills rather than just topic-specific knowledge [1] - The speaker proposes reframing mathematics education around three key skills: deep thinking, independence, and resilience [1] Deep Thinking - Mathematics encourages deep thinking by requiring students to strain their brains and solve problems, especially in an age where AI and readily available information can provide answers [1] - Deep thinking is fostered through a structured approach, starting with a toolkit of skills and gradually increasing the complexity and application of those skills in various scenarios [1] - Practical application of mathematical concepts, such as designing fairground games using probability or analyzing stocks and shares using percentages, enhances deep thinking [1] Independence - The right-or-wrong nature of mathematics promotes independent learning and self-study skills, as students can readily check their answers and learn from their mistakes [1] - Mathematics education helps students transition from passive learners to individuals capable of seizing any learning opportunity [1] Resilience - Mathematics provides an environment where students can learn from mistakes and develop resilience, which is crucial for personal growth [1] - Creating a safe space where students feel comfortable failing and reflecting on their learning is essential [1] - Parents play a vital role in encouraging their children and supporting them when they encounter difficulties in mathematics [1] Student Perspective - Students should avoid excessive celebration after doing well on a test and instead focus on continuous improvement [2] - Students should view setbacks as opportunities for growth and improvement in future assessments [3] Long-Term Impact - The years spent studying mathematics, approximately 3-4 hours a week for 15 years, contribute to building a well-rounded individual with deep thinking, independence, and resilience [4]
