    Common Misconceptions in Learning Mathematics

    Assessment Activity: Reflection Paper on “Math isn’t hard, it’s a language” by Randy Palisoc

    Randy Palisoc, a Mathematics teacher, produced a video called "Math isn't hard, it's a
    language," which I watched. The video's main goal is to show everyone that math is a language. He
    stated at the beginning of the video that only 26% of people understand math, which is due to the fact
    that we believe and continue to believe that this subject is difficult, but he also stated that arithmetic is
    a language similar to English. This topic might also be a language that individuals use to communicate
    with one another. He also expressed his dissatisfaction with the way math was taught by the teachers.
    People utilized math to create monuments, trade, and measure land in order to make a living in ancient
    times (such as farming). However, as the days, months, and even years went, math as a language
    evolved and became more accessible to children.

    Math is a language because it is used in everyday life. From waking up to check the clock what time is it,
    from purchasing items to see how much they would costs, to solving difficulties in any way. We may
    teach children in a variety of ways that any educator can use, but he explains in the video how to use
    the Law of Sameness to teach children well how solve a problem that can be handled without difficulty.
    He discussed and presented instances in the video, such as 1 apple+1 apple= 2 apple, as well as more
    explanations and examples.

    This teaching method, in my opinion, is really useful in terms of ensuring that the youngsters
    comprehend the subject. Yes, math can be baffling and difficult, but we educators can find methods to
    make it simple as long as the material is understood by the students, such as when you say, "Kids, what
    would be the answer to a problem involving 2 bananas+1 mango?" As a result, the youngsters will think
    and seek out methods to respond appropriately. Children frequently say, "its 3 fruits," which is right.
    They used to conceive of a commonality between the two in order to unite them. It also works because
    they think in a way that they can comprehend.
